    I uses Tenasity for the first time, it worked great. At the end of this season I will use it again to spot hit the wide blade grass that is left. I did have a tough time reseeding until I got myself a Sun Joe Scarifier and dethatcher, what a difference that made when I reseeded the second time. I love that machine and it helped my back too. Hand racking is the pits! By the way I have Kentucky Blue grass and my lawn feels like carpert, my neighbors love to walk on it because it is soft and thick. I will not mow my lawn low until about the End of September or the first of October. Love the videos. I am a grandma loving lawn care! Still mow my own lawn and will not let my husband do it.

    Just did my back yard
    Week 1 - Glyphosate, continue to water so any weeds (most of my yard, ha ha) keep growing
    Week 2 - Another application of Glyphosate, stop watering. If moss is a problem in the yard, get some heavy lime down. Glyphosate will not do anything to moss.
    Week 3 - Wait patiently for week 4.
    Week 4 - Till everything back into the ground. Level. Lay sod and water per directions.
    I’m on week 7 and it’s growing like crazy and looks amazing.
    Awesome to see how many times you’ll kill off your lawn to help provide invaluable info for all your viewers!

    Love your channel Mr Lawn Ginja. If I have Bermuda, live in west Texas, could I use prodiamine 65 wdg instead of tenacity? I thought I read somewhere that tenacity is NOT recommended for Bermuda. Thanks

    • @pestandlawnginja
      @pestandlawnginja  Год назад

      neither would be a good idea if you're seeding. tenacity is not made for bermuda, you are correct. prodiamine is a non selective pre emergent so it will effect the germination. its best not to chemically treat during the germination process in your condition.

    Great stuff! I lost the nail on my big toe from 12 hours of dethatching my 80,000 sq ft yard last year. I did three passes at differing angles and used my pull behind lawn sweeper after the first and second runs. One benefit was leveling of some heaving over winter. Cannot believe how much color came almost instantly that day as my lawn seemed to take a large gasp for air as if it had been holding its breath. 😊 I give all this background info to ask what the name of the fossil fuel powered dethatcher was so I can start doing my research as to how it compares to the flail blade unit I was using last year. I could get lost dethatching every six weeks as well! 👊

    What if we have a ton of weeds? Should we treat all the weeds first? Should we just till the lawn and start from dirt? My husband subscribed to your channel but I want to figure this out. We've been in the house for 3 years and we need to start over with the lawn!

  • @teammadcow
    @teammadcow Год назад

    I'm confused by the glyphosate and Tenacity mixing.
    Typically I've left the lawn tall, apply glyphosate, and then mow and bag and reapply after a week as i drop the height each time, and repeat up to five times if I see any green. At seed down, i dethatch and bag and do a final claanup mow. Apply seed with a slit seeder and starter. Then Tenacity without NIS at seed down and then a month later without NIS, and again a month later without NIS.

    • @pestandlawnginja
      @pestandlawnginja  Год назад +1

      Here my thought process. Keeping in mind I’ve had the pleasure of speaking about this directly with the manufacturers.
      The point of two tenacity treatments and one at the beginning of the process is to use tenacity as a pre emergent and receive higher efficacy of the product. Since tenacity wasn’t formulated for long periods of time it’s necessary to do two treatments back to back.
      Without the lawn mowed short the glyphosate labels also recommend a higher dose. The glyphosate does not kill weed seeds or have any pre emergent properties. Glyphosate travels through the plant in about 72 hours. Pretty fast.
      The goal is to get the tenacity at highest efficacy for the seed process and on the soil. Which is why I did it this way.
      Manufacturer recommends to wait about 4 weeks post germination to use tenacity. I’ve had few instances where I’ve had to do this after a seeding when I follow my regime in this video.
      There’s several ways one can seed. This one works well for me. Hope that helps clarify. Have a great day

      I've been using the Ryobi backpack sprayer for 2 years and finally have figured out it's calibration - looks pretty similar to the Hart sprayer. A really slow walking speed, like half steps, is needed. The lower cost sprayers have slower pumps, so slow walking speed is needed.
      Also, make your own 1 gallon marker lines on the tank with a measuring cup and water. Manufacturer line markers are usually not correct, and my Ryobi was totally off unless it was filled to 4 gallons.
