Great job, but can you use this on st agustine grass
Excellent and thanks!
If I sprayed that on my yard the entire thing would die 😂
How's this mixture on Kudzu, will it kill it this has been a problem here especially since we moved here?

Clovers have the potential to spawn four leaf clovers, which attracts Leprechauns, which I use to pay my mortgage.
No removing the clovers then
This made me laugh pretty good
Score!
Wish I had Lepercorn then
I find them a bit stingy on the wishes
Here I am at the fruitful age of 20, watching lawn videos. covid-19 lock down has morphed me into a dad.
Good skills to have in the future. I wish I knew this stuff years earlier. There never would have been a before shot!
Bruh I’m 16 lol
You’re not the only one. Trust me.
If your dad doesnt teach you man stuff when your learning to be a man your father failed. Lmao between my dad and my grandpas I could fix a car and build a house by the time I was 18. Smdh little girls you are. Hahahahahah.
Your dad is a good dad...
My father was an Agronomist (Crop Scientist.) He used dishwashing soap as a surfectant both in the field and on the lawn.
But which brand?
You know, this might actually work for me. (reel mower, black and decker weedeater lawnmower too, SMALL lawns. Don't judge).
I agree with the question in theory though. Thanks @daddydeads
Where do you buy these products in Canada
I really enjoyed how clear and concise your video is straight and direct to the point, with just enough side tidbit knowledge 👍
Great step by step video, with no annoying music. Thank you!
You gave me hope when I had none! After about a month of using tenacity, I feel the tide has turned. I'm seeing fewer and fewer weeds and the grass is taking over.
Great information. I've been following your instructions for two years now, and the lawn in my house is getting better and better. It was so terrible before. I've been sharing your video with everyone liked the results of my lawn. Thank you again for your time and efforts.
No, it is getting worse and worse
@@MrBernt1968 How?
@@Jjflokn
Totally lifeless. It is like a desert
Yeah but lawns are always not the most insect friendly when they are mowed very often. For that reason I leave small spots on my property untreated so that the grass and weeds get long and the insects got something to eat and live
How soon after application do you recommend cutting the grass?
Clover is a legume, which means it fixes nitrogen in the soil and is a "green manure". The flowers also attract pollinators. They can be quite beautiful when they bloom.
Ditto, i have a patch of clovers next to my grass and the soil with the clovers is black and soft, while the soil with the grass is hard, dry, and tan. A yard full of only green grass makes the utility company and city very happy. 🤑
One of the best lawn/weed control blogs I've seen (and I've been looking extensively). Thanks very much.
I did this today with all the items advised. Pretty easy if you listen to SC advise and do it exactly.
The sprayer was really nice!
This product has made a big difference in my yard I don't need a professional sprayer. Thanks for great information.
I found that just controlling the soil’s PH levels completely rid my lawn of clover, weeds and crab grass. In Northern VA my soil was too acid for the grass and just right for clover weeds and crabgrass. The back lawn had some pine trees which increased the acid content higher than the front lawn. I bought a few soil test kits from a houses and garden center for a dollar and developed an understand of the different PH levels in different areas. All were to acidic so the only solution was pot ash. Which was simple, safe and very easy. No chemicals with possible hazardous runoff.
The grass that I was seeding with liked a more neutral PH level that was different than the weeds,clover and crabgrass, so it flourished and all the bad stuff died. Reseeding fills in the voids left. I cut the grass never below 3.5 inches to reduce water usage.
All my neighbors would stop buy and ask me what my secrets were to my perfect lawn. I just said, follow the science.
How did you flourish the lawn ? or how did you change the PH level of the lawn ? Many thanks.
He said it in his comment. He added pot ash.
@@eliu20050101 Potash is Ph akaline chemical. It is originally from ashes. You can use potland cement ( Hydrated lime, calcium hydroxide) from hardware store as well.
Isn't it Portland?
Yeah I think he meant Portland cement, but are we seriously supposed to sprinkle cement dust on our grass? Wouldn't lime sweeten the ph too?
One must have the tenacity to make this work, great video.
I really love all your videos including this one. All the methods you teach are simple, easy. After watching them I want to try by myself. That is a big deal! Thank you for your hard work and effort. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. 👍🤝💯
I really appreciate such nice words, it means a lot. I love to make the videos and they take a lot of time but seeing something like this makes it really worthwhile. Thanks for sharing this and being a part of the channel. Best wishes.
This post is amazing!
Can’t wait to give this a try!
Thank you so much for the easy instructions and linking products below!
🔥🔥🔥❤️☀️
Every year I come back to your video. This is the best solution ever, no other products (and I bought them all) worked on the clover. Your solution worked! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Idk why tenacity won't kill my clover. Some of it turns white, snd some doesn't. But that's what's shown here too. Maybe ot didn't kill his clover either.
This is just what I needed. I’ve been looking for something that wouldn’t hurt my grass while killing the weeds. Thanks. Great video.

Would this work to kill plants as well. The house I purchased has lots of plants in random places and I'd like to start from scratch
I agree this is a great video and presentation. Here is my issue though I used this recipe for my lawn and though it killed the clover it didn't kill other wide leaf weeds. Also it burnt the grass in some areas, but the grass recuperated from the burnt after a few weeks. My issue is that it didn't kill all the weeds.
These videos are great. After watching, I bought the sprayer and all the chemicals. My lawn is getting better and getting ready for the fall renovation! Thanks for the great content and links to products!
No matter how much dye I put in, it never contrasts as much as it does for you in this video hahaha. But thank you for your content, you've been super helpful in getting my lawn back into shape.
Just did my own lawn and felt the same lol
Here I am at 27 with my greenworks dethatcher, ordering a tenacity kit and the Andersons fertilizer. This channel has really helped me out!
I appreciate your trust in my videos and recommendations. I think you will have some really great results with those products.
Lol I did the same thing
@@fanistermcdunna Me too!
Same!
You have a very concise way of presenting information. And it looks like your channel is growing fast! Great work!
Thank you very much, I am thrilled to have people enjoying my videos and using my tips a lot. Thanks for being a subscriber
Yes, thank you. Too many babblers on DIY videos!
I guess you could say....his channel is growing like a weed ...I'll see myself out
Thanks for mentioning the benefits of clover. Haw a lawn and clover mixed, and don't use chemicals on it. Still searching for something that will get rid of the other weeds but will kill at least some of the other weeds, but still haven't found it.
Great video! As far as clover goes, up until the 1950s it was was the most popular lawn type. It was actually chemical company marketing post WW2 that suggested it was a weed. Everyone wanted a clover lawn. And like stated in the video, it is great for pollinators. Beyond that, it actually a nitrogen fixer, meaning it works through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria to covert nitrogen in our atmosphere in sequestered nitrogen that is bioavailable to plants. So if you have poor soil, it might be a good idea to start with clover to get things going for a year or two, then start mixing in the grass seed. Having bear ground leads to the soil bacteria either going dormant or completely dying off, and to takes a while to rebuild that healthy soil ecosystem which supports plants. This is because the ground will be directly exposed to the sun to “cook”. Just thought I’d share!
Thank you 🙏🙌!!! If you want healthy vegetative “growth”, whether it be lawn grass, produce, shrubs or trees, please, please, please do not spray something that KILLS VEGETATIVE GROWTH. Instead plant things that foster biodiversity. Nature already has the cure for every disease and pest. We just have to get away from the idea of sterilizing everything and killing off what we think is “undesirable”.
I got lost. Lol.
Thick top dressing of dried composted cow manure after aerating can help kick start everything. We put 10 cu yds on a lawn last oct on a very troubling lawn. She was skeptical, two weeks ago (late march) she was skeptical, this week she is a believer. Most bare spots gone, beautiful color, great stand and very happy.
I appreciate the share that explains what happen to my soil that has impire grass that is now being chocked or take over by clovers..all my hard work of planting Impire grass has now turned into clovet lawn which is not impressive to me. But if it will help rebuild the soil Ill removed them when its done
Most people complain about our culture being too superficial and about companies controlling narratives but they're fine to allow a company to dictate to them what a healthy lawn is lol. Thanks for the information, I think I'll let the clovers live.
Crabgrass and clover are really starting to kick in this time of year.
While I’ve only used tenacity a couple times, I was very happy with the results.
Where to buy the tenacity.... I'm from Malaysia.. Tq
I’ve been trying to get grass to grow at my home for 15 + years, after watching this and a few of your videos I think this will be the year! Thanks!
How's it coming along, sports fan?
After watching a video on how to kill your lawn....
You might want to have a look at your topsoil and drainage situation. My guess is that it is not good and you may have to start there to get the results you are after.
@@joshportie Weeds*
@@Jjflokn what’s wrong with weeds
I will definitely consider using this formula. I generally have pretty good results with the ortho weed b gone with crabgrass control, but it probably would be cheaper to use tenacity. Therefore, I might switch this year.
I pulled out by hand most of the crab grass. As for the clover I didn’t use anything other than when I mow I use the mulcher on my mower. I set the mower to the highest setting so it doesn’t cut the grass too short. It’s now mostly gone and I expect it will be crowded out within the next six to eight months. Whenever I see the crabgrass I pull it out before it seeds again. My only other problem is dandelions. I pick the flowers off before they seed. I pulled the dandelions out whenever I can. Now my lawn is lush.
I really like your videos, the way you present the material really clicks to me
Very nice of you to say, so glad they are helpful!
Very helpful, Well done video it’s very professional, I love clobber but not on the grass, I aloud It to grow on controlled flowerbeds,!thank you!
Thank you very much
I’m glad I found you, needed to know how to get rid of weeds, just ordered everything 😅
I bought this stuff a couple years ago . I mixed it and sprayed it on my grass but didn’t get the results I expected. I figured out what I did wrong. You must mix it. Shake your container well before spraying . I’m going to try it again tomorrow in my back yard and hopefully I will be happy.
one month later ….. so how did it work out? 🤔
If you are not getting paid for the information you provide you should be because you have an knack for this kind of thing. Thank you thank thank you.
Thank you, its because I only show things that I really love so it's easy to get excited about them. I am sponsored by some companies but the vast majority of my videos, including this one are just a regular person showing something they like and sharing how to use it. Thanks again for the kind words!
@@SilverCymbal Hello. I missed the fall application of tenacity. I was wondering if March is okay to apply the mixture in Ohio
@@powerinprayer917 You absolutely can, Tenacity does not care about the time of year at all, if weeds are actively growing you can use it. The only other restriction is that you can never spray when it's 80 or over. Just while spraying, it can be over 80 later on in the same day. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for this information, my lawn looks 100% better since I applied it. You are really a benefit for people like me, keep it up! Great advice.
Just bought all these items on Amazon. I'll keep you posted!
You should also note that Tenacity kills bent grass. Bent grass is the type of grass used on golf courses, but is pretty common for residential lawns to have patches of it.
Great video! I followed your advice last year using Tenacity mixture. The results were fantastic! It was murder spraying it with a hand held spray bottle. If you have a large area like me, better get yourself a backpack sprayer and your body will thank you.
True. And you can get a good/decent 5 gallon backpack sprayer at harbor freights for $30 or less. Been using the same one for several years and it’s been great. Obviously a battery powered one would be even better but as a home owner only treating your own lawn pumping by hand is not a big deal.
Thanks for this Clover has taking over my front lawn.
We appreciate the encouragement.
Thank you! Also thanks for putting everything in the comments with a link!! Much appreciated
Thank you for watching, it's some great products. Let me know how it works for you. I think you will be very pleased.
Thanks for an interesting n informative video. I had problems controlling weeds especially clovers but no longer have a problem. It was with hands/knees weeding n
vinegar/surfactant/dye. For years utilized NON-TOXIC methods because of family dogs. Your video has provided another
alternative. Kudos for video. Looking forward to your next one.
Tried this last Thursday. Hoping to see some color change this week and see if this is my future method of lawn care.
@SilverCymbal thanks for the video, I wonder if we can use with grass seed, or we spread later? Same for lawn food? And finally, will start fall now in SC, is fine to start treatment now? Or later when grass is dormant?
Followed this video and I got the best lawn on the block. Thank you!
I really appreciate the nice comment, thank you very much and enjoy that lawn!
Buddy, thanks for the recommendations! I had tilled, cultivated and planted a new lawn this spring. I was hesitant to use any herbicide figuring it would interfere with lawn seed germination and growth. More than half of my lawn was soon covered with just about every weed variety imaginable...
However after just one application of the recommended solution, in less than 3 weeks ALL weeds are dead or dying! And my grass wasn’t affected at all! I used the same Jonathan Green variety you suggested in another vid (I also live in NJ).
Just wish I knew about this herbicide before planting this year as I would have definitely used it as a pre-emergent.
I’ll definitely broadcast spray again this fall. After a good scarifying, dethatch, aeration, fertilization and overseed, I hope to have a great lawn in year 2!
Peace brother 👊🏻
@@jcrane521 scarification is kind of like scraping the surface. It removes dead/dying vegetation build-up which can block needed air, water and nutrients from entering the soil. Ideally (albeit impossible) all you should see are grass shoots and soil. It also tends to scrape light grooves into the soil, which IMO provides a better seedbed for over-seeding although I haven’t found any studies to confirm this.
It’s also a good opportunity to rake in some new soil afterwards for better combining.
Good luck to you. Make year 11 the best ever! 👍
Off to a good start here in year 2...🤞🏼
I'm in South Jersey. What time of the year do you apply this? AND, how soon after applying can you re-seed?
Weeds love it when you til. Tilling is the best way to raise a great crop of weeds.
Get that pH fixed
Thank you very much for making this video. I will be doing this to my lawn to take care of clover.
thanks for the info. I needed this tutorial-for my new lawn, full of undesirable weeds.
My husband used to spend hours on our lawn. I thought he was just goofing off so he didn't have to help me with other projects. Our lawn was a showstopper! He's been gone for 15 years now, and I have a little grass among my weeds. I should have paid attention to what he was doing. Thanks for a very informative video. I'm going to try this. Fingers crossed!
Use Round-up and it works for me.
Get your husband back
check you grass type. don't use tenacity on bermuda or zoysia lawns. This guy doesn't understand that herbicides are intended for certain grass types.
@@tintinr1261 Round-up kills grass. Don't use Round-up Dudie.
The difference is your husband probably didn’t use CHEMICALS! Yes you probably should have paid attention
Your grandchildren will be drinking what ever you put down
Tenacity works very well with crabgrass but you have to be patient. It also works well with bentgrass. I would actually recommend a second application after 2-3 weeks, especially if it is mid to late summer and the crabgrass is mature. Even after getting rid of the existing crabgrass, I would apply a pre-emergent in early spring as soon as soil temps are near or at 55 degrees ... to avoid having to do this all over again in the summer.
Great video. We have paid for a commercial company to come and put weed and feed on and it is a fortune. I will give this a shot and see what happens along with some overseeding.
I have always encouraged crabgrass...love the colors it produces. Clover is lovely with its little flowers. My grass is a variety patch of St. Augustine that streamed over from my neighbor's lawn, various weeds... some with interesting designs and flowers. When you mow it ....all green so pretty. I don't water. I don't use added stuff. Everything just grows.
Quick and to the point. before and after shots. Thank you kind sir you are a hero of grass RUclips!
Glad to help This really works and if you get it you will have the sam results too. Thanks for the nice words.
What a wonderful DIY tip-infested video! Thank you so much and God bless!😁
Thanks, i was wondering how to finally make my lawn into the plastic hellscape i always dreamed of. Great video.
Hi great video.
yes the weed killers we buy at our big box stores only last for a few months
I am keen to try this.
I sprinkle sulphate of amonia, leave 24 hours then hose off. It also feeds the grass which is a plus in summer where I live.
I have a smallish lawn. How long does this last once it is mixed? I really like your videos. very informative, easy to follow. I like your teaching style.
Great straightforward video. Thank you. Quick question: what are the best times of the year to apply and how often per season can one apply ? Thanks again, Ariel M (North Jersey)
Did you got an answer?
I would like 2 know how often you can apply the product
Just earned my sub! Thank you!! Loved your tips on better lawns too
I just wanted to say that your videos are amazing. I have a newer lawn with lots of weeds and I ended up wasting money on hiring TruGreen to take care of it because it was pretty frustrating watching other youtube lawn videos where they either go way too in depth for a newbie or completely waste my time by taking about their lawn experiences.
Most people probably just want tips, and a step-by-step right to the point guide and you did that, keep up the good work!!!
I really appreciate the nice comment a lot! All of these take a lot of time to put together but the nice feedback like this really goes a long way knowing they help a lot of people. I was just were you were a few years ago, paying other people and it got nothing for it. Glad you like them and thank you for being a part of my channel.
TruGreen quoting me $55+ a visit X7/yr. for 3,000 sf of coverage when I only have 1,200 sf.
< $120 of DIY Supplies Shown Here will last me 4 years. So $120 vs $ 1,540 . . . no brainer.
I was already doing all of the other stuff anyway e.g. Grub X, Fertilizer, Terro, Seeding and more . . .
My next door neighbor has had TG for years and they deliberately are not providing full coverage of her property that they are over-charging her for. So now my border with her has gotten to be ugly. Just another Part Of Their Game. Very few of these companies do what they are suppose to do Unless YOU supervise Their Employees.
Do it yourself folks . . . This stuff not Rocket Science. Just follow instructions and use common sense.
Great video! I appreciate that you got right to the point without a bunch of chit chat.
I really appreciate the nice words, thank you Rebecca
Finally purchased everything and was able to use your video instruction! The blue dye makes a mess! On my second mix I used a Dixie cup that I marked for 1 oz. Easier clean up!
Thak you. First time homeowner im so glad i found this video
I love clover and it smells so good!
Great video... Thank you for sharing! I intend to follow this video and your Fix an Ugly lawn video step by step. I just have a quick question regarding Tenacity... What if I apply to my lawn and it rains a day or two later? Do I need to reapply? Thanks again!
Thanks for your great videos. I am curious if you have ever tried Q4 Plus as a weed killer and what your thoughts are? I have read that it perhaps is slightly better for post-emergent and doesn’t light up the lawn as much as tenacity? Just curious on your thoughts. Thanks as always!
Thx you For sharing your tip! I got all the Solutions and about to start now. Question, do I need to pull off the dead weeds out or just leave it as is? Thx
Great video, lawn looks great. I look forward to giving this a shot on my weed riddled lawn
Thank you very much for watching.
Ohio lawn care professional here. Single most important thing is mowing high. 3 1/2 to 4”. Haven’t used crabgrass control or a blanket weed control in years. Just fertilizer. Most people don’t realize how important proper mowing is. Weed wacking the edges down low is also a sure way to get weeds and crabgrass. Did I mention mow high!
If re-seeding is necessary, will grass seed germinate in areas treated w/ Tenacity? Great info.
Very nice video. Can this be applied any time during the growing season? Is one time, like Spring, more beneficial than another time? Do you repeat this throughout the season if you see more crabgrass and/or clover?
I have used the Vinegar, water and dish soap (which is the Surfactant here) and a sprayer to kill crabgrass and clover. It worked but I had to spray it multiple times.
Thanks for the straightforward no fluff no nonsense video greatly appreciate it!
I appreciate that a lot! Thanks
Man I love your videos always so helpful! My backyard is full of clover (new home). Can not wait to try this. Thanks!
How did this work on your clover? My yard is becoming consumed with Clover
Best video I've seen for a beginner how-to! How long after using the tenacity can we then put down actual grass seed to fill the spots we killed? Thank you!
How long during the season will this method work? Will it need reapplied at any time during the summer? Thanks?
Thanks for this video. I had a crabgrass outbreak on my lawn. I purchased everything on your list and now I've got white spots on the lawn. Normally this would bother me but when I know it's because the crabgrass is dead I love it! I missed a few spots and hardly wait another week (3 weeks) to get the rest of it. As a Mainer, I really enjoy your videos as they are very relatable.
got a follow up? That grass take over and the weeds ended up dead?
Finally!! Thank you. I killed ALL my grass with round up.. luckily it came back the next year, granted not as full. Will do this and reseed the lawn after the crabgrass is gone.
I know the feeling. They never tell you how damaging it is.
@@SilverCymbal question, I'm in New england. When would be ideal to apply this as I plan on aerating and overseeding in the fall. Thanks!
@@SilverCymbal and it is proven to cause cancer. It should be banned.
Love your videos extremely informative
Tenacity also works on nutsedge and nimblwill, but the best way to address the crabgrass issue is to prevent it before it cones up. It starts to germinate when the surface soil temperature is between 55 & 60 degrees for at least 5-6 days, so you want to apply the pre-emergent before that happens. Here in Iowa that soil temperature happens between April and early May but there's nothing consistent about the weather here so I use back to back applications of fertilizer with prodiamine or pendamethalin. I apply the first one in mid March and the second one 4 to 6 weeks later. Pro tip: if you've applied grass seed during this time, you'll only lose about 10% of your germination rate.
Thank you for the information. I applied Dithiapyr 40wsb in January and March. Do you think it would be possible to germinate grass seed? I was thinking that because of the pre-emergent, I'll have to use sod to replace any bare lawn areas.
@@logicalblueberry What type of grass? And what part of the country are you in?
Isn't tenacity a pre emergant as well?
@@bronzesolomon4453 yes
@@patricktinley6545 thanks partner 👍
Watched and subbed. Thanks for the consice and informative video. Sometimes I feel like I have to remove my entire lawn and start over with new sod. Your advice gives me a viable option to spending thousands... Thank you sir 🙏
Thank you very much
I felt the same way.. this advice has given me hope as well.. We had such a beautiful yard in the beginning when it was a new lawn but we didn’t have Irigation so it eventually went to hell because we just couldn’t water properly.. but now we recently just had Irigation put in, but it’s so overwhelming with how bad our lawn has become with every weed imaginable... there is still some grass there if you look hard enough, not sure if this would help me because I feel like I would have to spray my entire lawn with this.. now that it’s almost June pretty sure it’s to late to aerate and reseed...
Thankyou so much. I did the tenacity challenge . I still have to go back go back i missed skme area with the grab grass. The grass was white for 4 weeks. My lawn is beautiful again thankyou so much.
So glad it worked out great to hear it.
Hello Silver Cymbal, I live in Massachusetts and this fall I have noticed wild garlic in my lawn for the first time in 25 years. HELP! It's taking over my entire lawn and the only thing that's working is to dig them up, I just did a reseed with TTTF and the grass is coming in great. Thank you! I love your videos!
I saw in Amazon that Tenacity is not to be used for Bermuda grass, I am trying to attach the specs on Amazon but couldn’t, please advice
Thank you for your consistent, awesome videos, Silver Cymbal. You've officially sold me on Tenacity: I just ordered the bundle. Keep up the concise, informative videos; I certainly appreciate them like I'm betting thousands (if not millions) of others do!
Have you used it yet?
@@delt19 Yes. Followed video and it's been 9 days. Not seeing any results and very concerned at this point. Not sure what might have gone wrong.
Sprayed on crab grass, dandelions, thistles, etc. No change 9 days later.
@@Natasreficul6666 that's very disappointing. I would like to try this method but it seems like people are getting mixed results maybe. I think it's still worth trying. Hopefully you start seeing some results.
@@delt19 So I may have been too hasty.
There are a few sources of error I may have overlooked in my method (did I make sure the tenacity and surfactant were fully mixed in the water? Did I not mow 2 days before and after application?), but I am now seeing change in some of the weeds ~2 weeks later where they are lightening in color and looking weaker.
After reviewing the product label again it says it may take 2-3 weeks for it to take effect. I have some HEFTY weeds on my lawn (those thistles are a b***!), so it's making sense that my results might be taking longer than others'.
I will continue treating every couple weeks and go through the full 8 oz of tenacity. I'll circle back here and update.
@@Natasreficul6666 I appreciate the updates. It sounds like closely following directions is very important. I plan to use this same method throughout the summer so I can kill off weeds and have my lawn ready to over seed and fix up bare spots in the fall.
Straight to the point. Very well done.
Thank you very much
I've been using Ortho WEED B GONE over the years and have gotten good results. Clovers, crab grass, dandelion chic weed, you name it. If you aren't good a mixing, prepared hose attachment premixed formula works as well.
I used this product and it’s incredible,the many weeds have turned white after a week.
Very informative video. Thanks! Just have a query, kindly let me know after how much time can we water the lawn after application?
Thanks for the tips
If i mix the two Galoon and dont use it all up in one time, can i store it all mixed up and re use again when needed?
Thanks again
Thank you for making this awesome video! I will definitely try this
Hi and great video, I live in Michigan and planning to overseed in May with a cool season grass and spring is around the corner can I use tenacity with speed zone when the temperature be up on the upper 40s or use tenacity with surfactant. Thanks again and looking forward for more videos
great video, you should add that there is a max amount of tenacity that can be applied to a lawn per year. You can apply Tenacity Herbicide multiple times per year as long as you do not exceed the maximum annual rate of 16 oz per Acre per year
Why is that?
@@jay221982 it's per the label instructions
@@mjrotorpugs I've got about an acre and a half of clover - driving me up the wall.
I have a lot of spurge on my acre. I used to have a lot of crabgrass too. I removed it by doing 2 5k renovations on my front lawn. It took 2 years. Now I apply pre-em in the spring to prevent the crabgrass. Last year I split the pre-em into two applications. This year I did one app for the max amount. I have some poa annua too. That is a pain to deal with. A reno is a lot of work, but worth it in the long run
@@mjrotorpugs Wow - I'm not looking to spend that kind of money just yet.
This is the video I was looking for omg thank you
My country club golf course has bermuda greens but has alot of Poa annua infested the greens this spring. Will Tenacity work on getting rid of the poa and not hurting the bermuda?
Great Video, going to give this a try, What time of year is the best time to apply? (I live in Southeastern Pa)
The plant you call clover at the 18 second mark is actually oxalis. The leaves are perfectly heart-shaped making it easy to identify.
As a former turf care specialist I noticed that right away, and it's the easier to control yellow oxalis. And don't spend your hard earned dollars on a commercial surfactant, 1 ounce of liquid dish soap per gallon of water, much less expensive and just as effective.
Lastly, a dye! Only for people that don't pay attention to their spray pattern.
P.S.
6:45 That is clover
Silver Cymbal, how quickly do you mow after applying the treatment? I actually applied this to mine and it worked in one patch and didn't work in others. I was concerned when the best time to mow.
Great video and resources.
Great Eskie.
I didn't see creeping Charlie on the list... it's over-run my backyard and is spreading to the front yard. Does this product work on creeping Charley?
Dude awesome video....just what I needed to know. I have one question though. I am not real big into keeping my lawn real nice, but I do have an area in my backyard that is about 1800 sq ft. (I have 2 acres) which I like to keep like a golf course fairway. I grow a dense Blue Grass mix and cut it short with an old reel type push mower. The results are a dense grass like a nice fairway, perfect for chipping practice. When I make a bare spot, I just re-seed with a soil+sand+seed mix and move to a new area - works out pretty well.
Last year I used some weed killer to get rid of the clover and weeds in some areas. Then I over seeded real heavy just before winter and in the spring it looked great where I did this. But I still have some areas of clover and now a lot of crabgrass I want to eliminate and I have a dog now so your solution should work well. My question is how long should I wait to add some seed after the clover/crabgrass are dead? I want to speed things along versus just waiting for the grass to fill in on it's own. Can I just throw some seed the same time I spray or should I wait and rake out the dead stuff first - which is my plan right now. Appreciate any help I can get from anyone.
