Probably one of the better videos I've seen, explaining this topic. Too many others go way over the top as I'm a "beginner" but between you and RH, great content. Appreciated.
Great video. Speed Zone and Tenacity work great together. The only critique is using a water bottle as a mixing device. It works great and I’ve done it myself. Just take the wrapper off and label it. I don’t want to take a chance of someone drinking from a container I used to mix bad stuff.
I know this stuff from all the lawn vids I’ve been watching but your presentation and the google algorithm helped me watch in entirety. Thank you for a refresher.
Prodiamine as pre-emergent and Tenacity post. Great video George !!! The editing was off the charts and cutting in the call from Ron was awesome !! Really good man !
I applied the Tenacity-Speedzone mix to my lawn yesterday morning, and about 12 hours later could see the effects of the Speedzone on the broadleaf weeds. Most were definitely stressed and the leaves were drooping and starting to curl. Twenty-four hours later the green weeds from yesterday are now brown and on their way to oblivion. I'll wait a week or two for the Tenacity to strut its stuff on the crabgrass, but am very happy with the fast reaction to the Speedzone.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare What weeds? 😄 Tomorrow will be two weeks since I applied this mix and I have mowed twice (too much rain). The broadleaf weeds are completely gone and what little crabgrass remains has already gone through the bleaching process and has shrivelled almost completely away.
I've been seriously addressing my clay soil lawn since 2016 for weeds & by amending it. it looks better & better every year, and I seem to learn a few new things every year. this spring, I finally learned what weed appeared to be coming back every year through the Fall, Winter & Spring, and slowly taking over my back yard. it's called Lesser Celandine & it is HORRIBLE. I've read up on it a little bit, & I now understand why combining certain chemical weed killers is advantageous. I've been using tenacity for years, but the Lesser Celandine kept coming back. I've made the proper adjustments & now believe I can get rid of it, although I do believe it may take 2-3 season before it's all gone.

Always have been using Tenacity but after watching your video I purchased some Speedzone and will add that to my tank sprayer. Thank you. Well done and explanatory. Thank you.
The production quality of this video is insane. I just finished using tenacity my first time ever and after 2 applications it really works. It did bleach my bermuda lawn but it's recovering well over time. Also nice to see Ron in this video. His grass is beyond the gold standard.
I'm stoked to see that I'm using the exact same combo. I didn't initially use the blue dye and learned a pretty rough lesson but applying speedzone + tenacity, then tenacity 2 weeks later at seeding is a great way to kick off the fall overseeding process.
@@smokes8759 tenacity is perfectly fine to apply at seeding, the label specifies so. So long as temps are below 90F and the grass isn’t overly stressed you should be able to make the tenacity and speedzone application mid august and do your seeding / final tenacity application on or just before Labor Day. Alternatively if you’re gonna do spring seeding and you know you dealt with a bunch of weeds last year then your first herbicide application should be by the end of March, then you seed / 2nd application mid April.
I watch all of your videos, I just realized though I wasn’t subbed, I could have swore I did awhile back but I’m subbed for sure now. I’m a big fan, keep up the good work 😉
I just bought some plutonium. I keep it in a tin can, taped under a broken lawnmower. I run it around the yard once a week. Nothing bad growing anymore. Happy 😃 days.
Drive XLR8 needs to have Prime Source Duo Stick added. That is similar to a Surfactant but an MSO one for Drive 8. I only use XLR8 for Crabgrass & in areas that are not my best lawn like the back yard not the front yard. I found that you Do Not want to Mix any other product with XLR8 or you will kill good lawn. I have used Prodiamine & XLR8 in the back yard which isn't very good lawn & that works from Nov thru Feb to try & eliminate some weeds prior to the next growing season.
I used blue die for first time this month to spray glyphosate. I tow 14 gallons of 1.5oz/gallon mix behind my lawn tractor with a long wand. The chore of spraying the perimeter of my property and garden beds seemed to take less time because I was able to see my progress and make better decisions.
From Ontario Canada here. I was lucky enough to get some Par3 2-4D and tenacity shipped to me seeing we are not allowed to sell it in Ontario. And that combination has been working well for me. The surfactant is a must !!
@@expressogino3971 Amazon I just used Amazon.com not .ca and there are a few sellers out of Florida they just fedex it and I had no issues it cost a bit more but worth it for me
I've actually had great success with over the counter herbicides, but this was the first year applying a pre-emergent for crabgrass control. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.
Cheers from the southern US. I like to use a product called Blindside for all purpose weed control. Also works great for nutsedge. Keep up the quality content!
One of the best and informative videos! Thank you so much! It would be nice to see the video step by step if you over-seeding. Can I seed some spots and apply those weeds killers over in couple of days or week?
Tenacity, for sure. I'm in WI and use it spring and fall. Never have needed it during the warm months. My lot buts against a wooded area so the borders get a lot of dandelions and thistle . Tenacity keeps them in check. Great channel!!!
Always use Tenacity as my go to...always get comments about it after though from neighbors thinking I killed my grass...then a few weeks later its always "Wow...so what you using on your grass" lol.
I've used Tenacity before but NOW I know I can mix it with Speed Zone. I will definitely use a dye marker since I did see damage on three strips where overlapping occurred. YIKES! I have T-Zone. Can I mix Tenacity and T-Zone? Great tips - thanks a bunch!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare The label on T-Zone says to NOT use surfactant. But is it OK to use surfactant when mixing with tenacity or should I bust out more money to buy speed zone instead?
Chris. I had a lot of clover last year and I'm sure your looking into more too, but some things I found along the way: Absolutely must be using a surfactant, clover is really oily and repels sprays without it. It thrives in low nitrogen soil so check your soil status with a soil test. Best of luck!
Also it might be cheaper to use a product like speed zone on clover rather than Tenacity and like the other person said a surfactant is a must have for clover. You can also spike the mix with a little nitrogen to improve the results but becareful not to use too much. Good luck!
@@chriswiebler6151 - SpeedZone should not be used over 85F temperature, as it can harm the good grasses. And I would try to stay under 80F for a margin of safety.
George, this was an excellent, concise, informative and well-edited video. You 4-gal. backpack sprayer looked half full. I'm guessing you have about 2,000-2,500 sq. ft. yard (back & front). Thanks for the video.
Hey George, I appreciate your content because it’s super informative yet concise as to not confuse beginners. Just a couple clarifying questions from an Iowan (sorry Ryan Knorr, I’m just cheap). Could you use baby shampoo as a cost effective surfactant in stead of the product used in the video? Just curious if the product you used will be more effective because it’s meant to be diluted with other herbicides. Also you’re applying a full treatment to the entire lawn correct, not spot treating? Figured spot treatment would be done a couple months later as to give the lawn time to recover. Lastly, when would you recommend starting fertilizer applications for the lawn that remains after the weeds are dying off? Just wondering so as not to hit the weeds with herbicide to kill then provide them a lifeline with fertilizer to help them bounce back. Thanks in advance!
thanks a lot Trevor! yes you can use baby shampoo but i would personally swap that for regular ol' generic dollar store dish soap, its more concentrated and will have better surfactant properties. And yes in this video we did a blanket spray across the whole lawn. As for the fertilizer, you can apply anytime before, during or after your application. Personally i would apply it about a week BEFORE your herbicide application, reason being is weeds dye faster and more effectively when the are rigorously growing. The fertilizer will boost there growth resulting in better herbicide uptake. Hope i was able to help!
Will be getting speedzone once I’m out of Ortho products. Ortho does work, just takes multiple applications most of the time. You don’t notice results for a few weeks. I always mix it a little “hotter” than recommended.
I did some right of way spraying and one thing we always did was observe the direction of the wind and then work up wind spraying as we walked so we didn't go through the areas we already sprayed or get misted as we were applying. Thanks for the info on tenacity.
That is great info. Doing the same thing, I got misted time and time again. Your skin will absorb it and you’ll start peeing what ever color liquid you drank last. Mountain Dew = green pee. Iced tea = brown pee. I’m straight up, 100% serious. Great advise, AH, Thanks.
The actual explanation you should use for surfactant is... "Makes water wetter." It causes the surface tension of water to disappear. This makes water spread faster and more evenly. It also makes penetration into the leaves better, faster. The best blue dye is Dollar Tree Ty-D-Bowl toilet bowl stuff. It is an awesome dye for only $1.25 a bottle. A few drops of the bowl water dye goes a l-o-n-g way.

Tenacity, for sure. I'm in WI and use it spring and fall. Never have needed it during the warm months. My lot buts against a wooded area so the borders get a lot of dandelions and thistle . Tenacity keeps them in check. Great channel!!!
Thanks!
Always use Tenacity as my go to...always get comments about it after though from neighbors thinking I killed my grass...then a few weeks later its always "Wow...so what you using on your grass" lol.
I've used Tenacity before but NOW I know I can mix it with Speed Zone. I will definitely use a dye marker since I did see damage on three strips where overlapping occurred. YIKES! I have T-Zone. Can I mix Tenacity and T-Zone? Great tips - thanks a bunch!
No problem! And yes you can no problem, Tzone is great!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare The label on T-Zone says to NOT use surfactant. But is it OK to use surfactant when mixing with tenacity or should I bust out more money to buy speed zone instead?
@@jnorth9702 its says not too because it already contains a surfactant but you will want to add additional for the tenacity
Thanks for making this video. I live next to a huge open private lot that is out of control. This will definitely help me control my lawn!
No problem buddy, good luck! don't be afraid to cross the property line just a little bit 🤫🤫🤫
Three minutes in andI already love this guy. Just because you remind me of my childhood friend from Iraq, I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks dude! I’m Middle Eastern as well, not quite Iraq but close (Palestine)
@@PrincessCutLawnCare niiiiiiice. Keep it up brother, your videos have great content.
On my second app of tenacity. Seems to be working but slowly. My whole backyard is clover...
Chris. I had a lot of clover last year and I'm sure your looking into more too, but some things I found along the way:
Absolutely must be using a surfactant, clover is really oily and repels sprays without it.
It thrives in low nitrogen soil so check your soil status with a soil test.
Best of luck!
Also it might be cheaper to use a product like speed zone on clover rather than Tenacity and like the other person said a surfactant is a must have for clover. You can also spike the mix with a little nitrogen to improve the results but becareful not to use too much. Good luck!
Tenacity does take some time to work so be patient.
Yeah I got speed zone too. Seems to be working after a week. Might need one more application but idk if I can do it in 90 degree temps.
@@chriswiebler6151 - SpeedZone should not be used over 85F temperature, as it can harm the good grasses. And I would try to stay under 80F for a margin of safety.
George the Mad Scientist! Lolol. I was going to say "what about us warm season guys" and there came Ron! Lolol
warm season guys covered Brian. :-)
George, this was an excellent, concise, informative and well-edited video. You 4-gal. backpack sprayer looked half full. I'm guessing you have about 2,000-2,500 sq. ft. yard (back & front). Thanks for the video.
No problem and thanks for the kind words 😃
I like your channel. I am researching useful videos to do a complete renovation of my lawn. Your videos are really helpful.
Great to hear! good luck w your project!

Tenacity recommends a surfactant, but Speedzone doesn’t. So should I add or not?
Yes add it
I’ve heard dawn works for this.
Speed Zone all the way!! Thanks, George!!
Thank you George, I love your videos and I am working on getting my lawn in good shape.
I just use a weed and feed right now, and I'm not exactly thrilled with it.
I don’t blame you!
Weed and feed does literally nothing here in Florida. The weeds just laugh as they grow stronger
I have used speed zone for 30 years from county weed and pest. Best stuff!
Hey George, I appreciate your content because it’s super informative yet concise as to not confuse beginners. Just a couple clarifying questions from an Iowan (sorry Ryan Knorr, I’m just cheap).
Could you use baby shampoo as a cost effective surfactant in stead of the product used in the video? Just curious if the product you used will be more effective because it’s meant to be diluted with other herbicides.
Also you’re applying a full treatment to the entire lawn correct, not spot treating? Figured spot treatment would be done a couple months later as to give the lawn time to recover.
Lastly, when would you recommend starting fertilizer applications for the lawn that remains after the weeds are dying off? Just wondering so as not to hit the weeds with herbicide to kill then provide them a lifeline with fertilizer to help them bounce back.
Thanks in advance!
thanks a lot Trevor!
yes you can use baby shampoo but i would personally swap that for regular ol' generic dollar store dish soap, its more concentrated and will have better surfactant properties.
And yes in this video we did a blanket spray across the whole lawn.
As for the fertilizer, you can apply anytime before, during or after your application. Personally i would apply it about a week BEFORE your herbicide application, reason being is weeds dye faster and more effectively when the are rigorously growing. The fertilizer will boost there growth resulting in better herbicide uptake.
Hope i was able to help!
Will be getting speedzone once I’m out of Ortho products. Ortho does work, just takes multiple applications most of the time. You don’t notice results for a few weeks. I always mix it a little “hotter” than recommended.
sweet! i dont blame you for mixing hotter speedzone is like 4 times the stregnth lol
good luck!
I did some right of way spraying and one thing we always did was observe the direction of the wind and then work up wind spraying as we walked so we didn't go through the areas we already sprayed or get misted as we were applying. Thanks for the info on tenacity.
That is great info. Doing the same thing, I got misted time and time again. Your skin will absorb it and you’ll start peeing what ever color liquid you drank last. Mountain Dew = green pee. Iced tea = brown pee. I’m straight up, 100% serious. Great advise, AH, Thanks.
Like the information. You are right about prevention. I joined your channel late in the season so, I’ll have to wait for the fall season prevention.
Alway gotta have a good defense!
Thanks for stopping by again Anthony
Excellent step by step and explanation. I'm in the south with centipede, so I use Atrizine and 24d, works amazing.
Thanks Paul!
The actual explanation you should use for surfactant is... "Makes water wetter." It causes the surface tension of water to disappear. This makes water spread faster and more evenly. It also makes penetration into the leaves better, faster.
The best blue dye is Dollar Tree Ty-D-Bowl toilet bowl stuff. It is an awesome dye for only $1.25 a bottle. A few drops of the bowl water dye goes a l-o-n-g way.
Excellent presentation! Easy to follow and very straight forward.
thanks boss!
Great video! Didn’t know you could mix those kind of chemicals together without a problem. I’m gonna give that a try! Thanks
Tenacity, Speedzone and Blue Dye GREAT combination!! Thanks 😊👍
No problem! its a killer combo!
Great ideas. I live in southern Ga. I will have to wait till spring to try.
