So basically what I've learned here...is that I don't have a BIT of damned grass in my yard anymore.
Doesn't really matter. You can eat half of the weeds in a lawn and you can make a really nice tea out of dandelion flowers as long as they don't taste too much like dirt.
Same here Bo. We got Calinga everywhere !
😂
😂😂
😂😂😂 same. It's just all weeds mixed and matched that happens to be green lmao.
I was looking for advice on how to grow grass around my house and after watching this and other videos, what I have learned is that planting, watering and maintaining a grass lawn is just a rediculous waste of time and money. I understand the usefulness of grass in golf courses, sports fields and commercial spaces, but not for homes.
Instead of a grassy lawn, I decided to overseed my existing grass with micro clover and then harvest every possible weed I could find and plant them around the house. Now, I have a beautiful, colorful lawn full of different weeds and life that requires very little maintenance: No chemicals, no fertilizers, no watering, no landscaping fees.
Many of these weeds, like clover, are micro plants that get their nitrogen/fertilizer from the air, soil and rain.
Thank you very much sir for teaching me how to identify the weeds that I needed to fire the landscaping guys out of my yard and welcoming the weeds that want to grow in my existing soil.
Now I get to seat in my backyard and appreciate a lawn full of beautiful weed that want to live there with no maintenance instead of the stupid grass that just wants to die without all the money, chemicals, fertilizers, extra work and water.
Thank you, again.
Totally!! I am nurturing all my favorite weeds. 😊

Kyllinga instead of calinga
I think he's saying "sedge," not "sage."
Lespedeza. Bahia grass. Nutsedge (not sage)
Thanks for the breakdown 🤙🏽
You’re good sir I’ve got 23 years in the industry and have never met anyone as knowledgeable as you .
they are not WEEDS, they are native plant species
@@paulanzini The species a lawn owner doesn't want growing are WEEDED out...
@@paulanzini nobody cares
You’ve described my lawn perfectly. My grass is, essentially, just weeds.
Just mow your weeds every week, like everyone else. :-P
@@AdamRasmussenXP I love "weeds"
Me too! I call it "cultural diversity."
While mowing the other day, I thought the same thing. Weeds, weeds and more weeds. 😳🤣
An excellent way to control weeds is to set your lawn mower as high as possible. Mine goes to six inches. If you let your grass get a little taller, it blocks weed seedlings from getting sunlight, so they die. Won't prevent all weeds, but it will stop a lot of them. My neighbors lawns get full of dandelions. I rarely get any dandelions, because I don't mow my grass really short.
Nice, I just notice that I have 25 out of these 23 weeds on my yard🤠
Thanks, l got all this stuff in my back yard, so now i know what they are.
Thank you for doing this Jason!!
This is great, thanks for diving more into the day to day field work.
Thank you. The yellow nutsedge was what I was looking to identify. Looks like my blue st augustine grass but sprouts from one centerpoint and grows faster than my grass so able to spot them. Glad they are so easy to pull.
I am in Long Island NY and I have many of the same weeds in this video. Good job.
you are a wonderful gardener. I enjoy your videos and the tips are great. thanks for helping me figure out this green thing in front of my house that I'm trying to replace with flowers, little by little. yes you are helpin a natural gardener - who doesn't use chemicals, and who wants to keep some of those little flowers in the yard, alongside others that I can slowly replace the grass with. this will be so beautiful when you drive up the street and see the flowers instead of a flat green fairway. thanks for the helping advice, because you know your stuff
Yes, thank you very much, I’ve got about 4 of these as major problem, we’re taking completely over. This was very helpful. Thank you greatly.
Thank you!! This helps me figure out how to start fixing my lawn.
This was a really helpful video for me. Thanks! It must have taken you forever to catalog all those different weeds. Nice work!
Man, you read my mind! I was going to look for one of your other weed ID videos because I couldn't remember the name of wild violet. I have some patches of it and was scratching my head trying to remember what it was called. Now I know! Thanks, Jason
Thanks Jason, many of the weeds you identified I have in my lawn. I just need to learn how to get rid of them now so I can plant some grass seed now that we are getting into the fall season. Thanks again buddy.
Yep, I got 'em all and then some here in Texas. Dang it.
I can't tell you how much frustration you have saved me. Thank you for posting this!
You do not know how much medicine you are killing
Such important information, thank you Jason! Half the battle is identifying what you're trying to get rid of...
Good point. I see the weeds in the video all the time. Every once while I run into one I don't see very often and that is when i learn a new one
Thank you for this video, excellent and comprehensive ID guide all in one place. You are a champion, sir.
Excellent information. I'm encouraging a lot of those as alternate ground covers. Plus perennial peanuts, sunshine mimosa, and broad leaf plantain.
I recommend displaying the names of the weeds on screen
Turn on your closed caption feature to see or read what he's saying.
Captions don't always help, e.g. 7:11 "field matter".
@@icemandb what is he actually saying when it spunds like hes saying "field matter?"
Creatively Candace “Field Madder” I think.
Got some good strains for sale just HMU on WhatsApp +1(813)586-4568
Delivery is ASAP
Thanks Jason! Great information as always.
Thanks so much! This was super helpful! I'm in Maryland and I have almost all of these. I really like all the clover, sorrel, and lespedeza. Don't like the foxtail and other coarse grasses. I've been ripping them out. It's my fun new addiction. Thanks again! I now know the names of like half the volunteer plants in my front yard. 😃
Bahia grass is my main lawn here in Florida. Let it go to seed to get a thicker lawn.
Most of the weeds you covered are also present in southern New Jersey. Good presentation.
i've got a lot of these weeds in my backyard! planted zoysia grass plugs and they are now competing with the weeds. Also using Preen to keep some of the weed seeds from germinating so the zoysia plugs can slowly take over my yard
i need to be more aware of poison oak/ivy for now on. Thanks for the heads up. informative
Jay, if it has 3 leaves......leave it alone. Words to live by for an itch free life.
A lot of the time if you come across wild grapes, you can bet there will be poison ivy around.
This was a fricken EXCELLENT video. Thank you.
Great video! You forgot to mention about Ground Pearls .
This is a much more useful weed identification method than others. 👍
Great video Jason. Very educational.
Great video Jason, thanks.
I have to echo another person's comment, Your ability to ID these plants by sight is Amazing! The best I've seen on RUclips.
Thank you
Really enjoyed your video. We just moved to SW Fl where I had a new Floratam (Saint Augustine) yard installed since the it was a disaster. Having some weeds emerge even though I have been following the University of Florida's Agricultural Care and Maintenance calendar. Haven't allowed the weeds to grow high enough to produce seed stalk--may do so so I can determine what it is and how to proceed. Thank you!
this was super informative, I learned a lot in 11 minutes
Thank you. This is the best descriptive weed/ grass video. No fluff, content specific, great narrative, precise. From a fellow Alabamian. War Eagle?
I'm an Alabama fan. My wife is for Auburn
Violets and wild geraniums are my lawn in the NE. They are almost indestructible, and best weeded by hand.
Both have huge root systems.
I can't understand why anybody would want to get rid of Violet's. 🤔😕 Good thing we get to make our own decisions on that. Namaste 🙏🏼
I'm from tropical Australia, I see close resemblance to many weeds here so I would make an assumption to treat them the same as you would in the States. Very helpful thank you
I've spent alot of time and money in my lawn trying to get rid of about half of what you showed in the video.
Monkey the Raccoon lots of ppl re emergents, and patience. Also you can just dig up bad areas replace them with the sod you desire a little at a time
Thank you for your channel for helping me ide tify my weeds .. again you've been big help
I just started working with Weed Man USA and this will be helping me TONS because I have very little knowledge in the field but am incredibly excited to be learning.
Crab grass, Dallas grass, and Goose grass all look the same to me.
mainly when they dont have a seed head
You're on drugs if you can't see the difference 💀💯
Goose is very distinctive, but crab and Dallas can be difficult sometimes if you don’t look at it everyday
I do know crab grass loves salty soils. It grows near the roads heavy cause normal grasses gets killed off by the town heavy salting.
@@dominique.gonzalez622 Bet you are fun at parties.
EAT YOUR WEEDS!! 😉Violets, clover and yellow wood sorrel are edible and nice in salads. Both leaves and flowers in all 3 are edible. Wood sorrel tastes like lemon. I love foraging!😍💗
I have no problem with that but I prefer other foods
I must say, it's very helpful. I saw my round-leaf Red Midrib clover and Purple Nutsedge....not good news.
Poa anna seeds emerge in August when nights drop into 60s . Premerge watered in before mid August is the best prevention I have found. If you get lazy it can take over with millions of seeds.
Nice to get refresher, thanks for sharing
thanks for this. we call weeds here in Australia different names. we call dallas grass, paspalum. i can get a bit of info of it on Australian channels but the more info the better.
Great video sir. That lespedeza is a tough weed.
I live in Alabama too. My backyard has almost all off these. And the kicker is the previous owner was a landscaper.
He was probably too busy taking care of other peoples' lawns but his own. Sounds similar to my cousin.
Cimarron gets Bahia really well. I am planning on spaying mine tomorrow. I use about a teaspoon in a gallon of water.
The difference between a weed and a flower is a judgement
Could you make a video explaining which are peranial and annual weeds and explain what that means also what do you Reccomend for each set of weeds?
Hi Jason, what's the best weed control product in your opinion for hot weather? I live in South Carolina closer to Charlotte been using SpeedZone Southern but doesn't seem to have the knockdown power it does damage but the weed scene it recoup, I've been applying at at a rate of about 1.5 Oz per gallon with a surfactant. Basically have three grass-types that I've been using it in which is zoysia Fescue and Bermuda.. wanting to try another product but not sure what one that go with I heard change up is a pretty good cross product what do you think?
Thanks, you learn something new everyday
Your good fella.
One of the best i have seen,and i have seen a lot.
Good job,and thanks for sharing.
Tedzill Michigan
I wudn't have a lawn if I got rid of all the weeds - thanks buddy!
lol Me too. That is why I just let it be if it is anything but dandelion or anything poisonous.
I have tons of weeds in my yard and I always want to know the names of them. I don’t know why but I do! 🤷♀️
Very helpful thanks at about 2:56 in this video you are identifying one you call Broom Sedge. right next to this is a tiny weed on the lower left portion of the screen. I have a lot of this in my yard and have thought it is henbit or purple dead nettle. but I can't find any pictures that look exactly like it. Do you know what it is? TIA
I had a bad goosegrass problem and planted St Augustine grass. The grass choked out the weed. Prior to that, I literally dug up the weed with a shovel. Just catching it on the edge and flipping it out of the ground barely disturbing the dirt.
A natural teacher. Thanks!
A little late seeing this. Very helpful video. I have Orchard Grass in my lawn. Any suggestions for dealing with it? Thanks!
If it's green and it survives mowing, it can stay. IMHO. Mow high and enjoy the diversity!
Yup,love my weed lawns!!
When you consider the alternative is a perpetual bathing of poisons in the grass, that is a better choice.
Thanks for the tour and information. Well done.
Good video. You know your stuff!
I know you are trying to help home owners too. But you are really all some. 53 years old been doing this for over 25 years and I learn more from you than classes that I take. Come to Greenville and you could make some videos of the college and hospital
Hey Jason. I've been learning from you ever since I almost destroyed my lawn about a year-and-a-half ago. Finally got the nerve to make a video. Hope you can check it out. I need the love.
Informative and to the point. Thank you!
Great choice using using the lime green tee so now ,so natural and up to date ,what is living the lawn ''care'' life mean anyway
Thank you for your video... looks like my yard.
I love my weed Lawns I call them Heinz 57 lawns they keep me busy all season even in the drought.
Busy doing what?
@@borderlineiq cutting weeds.
THANKS!!! I just really like your video. Even though I'm in Michigan, you really showed a lot that grows here too.
THE BEST PART??? You got straight to the point. Some of these lawn videos are so boring because the guy will go into detail for ever and ever about nothing I need to know and they really don't help. I'm subbing your channel!!!
Thank you
Yeah it was really concise and informative, with great visuals and no rambling prattle. 🙂👍
Notice some green Pearl's in the soil in the background. What did you apply?
we have many of the same weeds in the mid-atlantic
Well done Jason!
That's a perfect explanation. Thank you very much...
Outstanding job! SO helpful! Thank you!
Dallas, johnson, broadleaf signal can be tricky. Mainly without seed head
Great video. I have many of these in New Hampshire - and if you're ever in NH...let me know. i really would love to know all the weeds in my lawn!
I was searching for like so long on this
i don't see alot of these in pa, but still i appreciate the video.
I'm from southeast pa and I recognize almost all of these. Guess it depends where you're located. Clover isn't considered a "weed" here. If you have a farm or garden, they're desirable. Better than a 2 foot weed growing. It also keeps the soil cool and helps retain moisture. The amish sell seeds and plant them between crops so bigger nutrient hogging plants don't move in (esp. good for organic gardens). Maybe they are more beneficial than I know but... thats the extent of my knowledge at the moment lol.
What’s the best post Emergent chemical control of spurge? MSM turf? Dismiss? Target 6 plus?
Thanks for this very informative video!
Outstanding presentation! Just subscribed.
Thank you so much for making this video - Needed it years ago. I can stop being lost In the weed jungle world. 😂
What is that weed with the purple flower to the left of broom sage 2.45 ? my yard is loaded with it. Thanks
This was awesome! Thanks!
good video. I have my unwanted grass could be one of 5 he mentioned. Most probably Dallas grass. I'm in eastern Washington
I have lots of clover in my back lawn the is mostly Kentucky bluegrass Blue grass and rye. I like the clover the only week I can't get of is Bugleweed ( Ajuga reptans ) any thoughts on how to get rid of it ?
Great Vid Jason.......... whats a good product to use on goose grass and Dallas Grass?
MSMA, but only on bermuda. Half rate,1/2 oz. per gallon of water on zoysia. No surfactant above 80 degrees, will yellow grass.Not for use on centipede/St. Augustine.
Being able to name weeds also impresses the client! I'm an applicator in Birmingham AL, so this is a good review.
The problem is, though, that each year seems to bring a new headache! Right now, in mid-June, my main pain is doveweed, a summer annual that is starting to germinate and will crowd out the lawn turf if not controlled. I'm going after it with Celsius XTRA and pendimethalin to try to prevent further germination.
Doveweed can be tough. I applied spectacle flo in April and got decent control on one problem doveweed yard
@@lawncarelife Thanks! I'm hoping that the preemergence will break the cycle. I have a couple of bermuda yards that are pretty much bare in the cool season, after the doveweed died.
Great video!
Thank you, very very informative. 👍
Nice work here bud! I'm in North GA. We have all the same weeds it appears. Poison Ivy has the 3 leaves. The "Virginia creeper" is poison oak/5 jagged leaves. I'm 100% on that. Eagle scout who grew up in the Appalachian hills.
Sorry. He's right about the Virginia Creeper. Poison oak is similar but shinier and smoother.
Virginia creeper won't break you out. Poison hemlock will tear me up. That wasn't in the video.
@@YSLRD I thought the poison ivy was the shiny one. Poison oak has more jagged leaves. It's more in the western states. Grand Canyon has both near the Colorado river.
Another Question for you: If I were to put in Creeping Charlie would it make a good ground cover in a Sunny area? Our climate tends to be dry, but usually humid in the summer, and some years are wet with lots of rain up to 42 inches in a year. Yet some years are only 30 inches of rain spread out. I have a Mature Honey Locust tree on the north side of the front yard. I've been trying to grow Fescue under the tree, which has done pretty well since it's been an established lawn since the time the tree was a baby, but on the south side of the lawn there's common Bermuda grass that leaves bare ground through the winter and Spring. I get weeds all over that area that show up taking over the entire area in late winter to early Spring unless I hand pull all of them out (these are usually Little Barley grass and Wild Geranium and Dandelions).
Surprisingly the Bermuda takes a long time to cover that bare ground in the late Spring to Summer and some years it just stays terribly bare. I'm wondering if Creeping Charlie would be an alternative as a good ground cover? How tall does it grow? Does it need moist soil all the time? Can it tolerate both wet years and dry years? And a spot where it gets sun 8 am through 7 pm? (We've been in what's considered a drought for our area for the past 2 years). Is Creeping Charlie more invasive than Bermuda grass? Does it send up any unsightly tall branches or seed arms? Or any seeds that look or act like stickers? Would it withstand the summer heat up to 109 degrees some days, and the winter freeze (down to -5 degrees once in a while) and be a good ground cover? Would it take as much mowing as Bermuda? (I just mow once a week through the warm & hot seasons). I'm in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a, according to the updated for 2023 USDA map. Thanks!
☹️ did not have my weed but I learned something, thank you
Thanks for sharing this information ❤.
If you have a bunch of weeds and they're bothering you, look at some wild foraging websites. A lot of the weeds are edible, nutritious and quite tasty. You don't want to eat them though if you use pesticides and/or weed killers. Eat the Weeds and Foraging Texas are two of my favorite foraging websites.
I just saw this video in june 2020 but that was a good video. informative
