If you have very large portions of your lawn filled with crab grass that you just killed using your process. What do you do afterwards? Does it make sense to see that area of dead weeds/crabgrass?
@@michaelsong6934 Yes overeeding your lawn is always helpful. Often you will have grass between the weeds that may full in on it's own also.
@@michaelsong6934 Technically you're supposed to wait 3 weeks. Assume the first round of spray didn't fully kill the plants. Be ready for another spray before seeding. Assume the first round of grass seed doesn't take. Try again after a week. Best times are during spring and fall rains.
@@SilverCymbal Do you have any videos on reseeding dead crabgrass/weeds? Or do you just use the same standard reseeding process you have shown before? Thanks again!
@@michaelsong6934 Yes I show you here how to overseed your lawn and a much easier method for doing it. ruclips.net/video/nAVDDePLoNU/видео.html
Excellent video! I love the way you explain clearly. On some other videos, people talk too much not to the point and their videos are way too long and very boring to watch. Thank you so much. BTW, as someone commented, the dog is adorable!!!
I really appreciate that a lot. Glad you liked it. Our dog is really, couldn't ask for a more loyal little friend. Thank you for watching and being a part of my channel.
Great content, I must have watched hours at this point of what you've procured. Thank you for all the great advise explaining fundamentals without needing to spend a fortune at the big box store.
Tenacity also works as a pre emergent and will not stop your grass seed from growing if you over seed.
I watched your video on this subject. I ordered from Amazon and it is amazing. Nutmeg turned yellow with in days and creeping Charlie the same. They took awhile and now are gone. Thank you.
I think it may have been another one of your videos on getting rid of clover, but I’m thankful you showed this. Ordered and followed directions and a week later starting to see the results. Thank you.
I love his videos. No cheezy filler. He skips the rapport building and comedy like others do. Always the best products and methods. The clincher here? I thought tenacity too expensive for me. One sentence "may seem expensive but cheaper per gallon.". I also realized I've had to treat and retreat with box store concentrates so in reality cost way less. I also figured out from this video that the tall yellow grass overtaking the lawn is Nutsedge, checked labels and box store weed killer doesn't kill it, no wonder it's flourishing. Thanks much for saving me real aggrevation, time and money..
I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a nice comment. Thanks
Thank you for the clear and honest explanation. It’s short, well illustrated.
Used this about a month ago....it's working great. Just sprayed the areas I missed last month. It does take a week to 10 days to see most weeds turn white. Some wilt in a day or two, but most take at least a week to show results. Patience!!!
Did you continue to water as usual?
i didnt even know what this stuff growing in my yard was until i watched this video i ordered everything in your video thanks for the information
Thank you, - Also check out my web site I have a visual weed guide, just match the picture to what you have to help get the name: www.silvercymbal.com/weed-id
Thank you so much for this video. I’m looking forward to a beautiful lawn now.
Thank you for the nice comment and watching.
best video i've watched on the prep and application of tenacity. I've watched lawn care nut, lawn ninja, etc. Thanks for keeping it simple.
Thank you I really appreciate that
I watch your videos multiple times, I seem to always pick up something I missed previously.
I appreciate that thank you
After watching it work so well for you and others on RUclips I finally gave in and bought some Tenacity. It's working as advertised, I'm pretty happy so far. I bought some Sedgehammer+ too that I'm going to apply in the future. Thanks for the tips.

Have you tried using Sledgehammer on nutsedge? I just ordered some and haven't used it yet.
I'm about to get medieval on this yard. I'll send some before and after pics. THANK YOU!
I like your medieval reference !
Sometimes multiple applications may be required for ivory creeping charlie violets due to root system. Always attempt right out of dormant stage. After a night rain seems better to do in morning. Faster it grows the better they die. I worked for scotts and my experience taught me these tricks.
I used Tenacity this year and my yard is coming in nicely. The results are slow but good.
I will be applying this soon. Thank you for the multiple recommendations! 👍👍
Hi. Did you try tenacity for your lawn? How were the results?
@parrotprodigy productions oh no! Well I hope all is now. Thank you so much for responding so fast. I'm debating spending this kind of money not knowing the results.
@parrotprodigy productions 😆 well my front lawn is beautiful! Its my backyard that's a mess. But I also live next to a creek.
Can't wait to try this in the spring my lawn is 70 percent creeping Charlies I have tryed every thing hopefully this works thanks for the video
Did it work on your lawn
Great video! Keep up the good work. You have a new subscriber!
Thank you for the nice comment and subscribing.
Thank you! Now I know how to do this.......simple and direct.
Thanks for showing the results. Very good video.
Thank you very much
Thanks again for the info, that is very helpful!!
I really appreciate that thank you
Thanks for this down-to-earth advice! I shall give it a go!
I love creeping Charlie. So glad to have it in my yard ☺️
Finally found something that kills my wild violet infestation and doesn't harm the lawn. Great product!
I purchased all the items needed from this video. Questions: Will rain or irrigation slow down the process? Is it better to apply late in the day so the product doesn't dry too quickly?
This approach sounds workable for me- Creeping Charlie has begun to take over my backyard and part of the flower bed there, where I have Sedum. I plan to purchase TODAY, 10/18/2021 and apply. Hopefully I will see some results by next summer.
Will you report back after you use and let us know how it works against the Creeping Charlie? In his video, he was showing what looked like clover in his yard, not Creeping Charlie.
Just treated the lawn, hope this works... I will update this page soon.. SE Michigan here..
Any updates??? I'm about 4-5 weeks in. I have had good results but some stuff has still not died completely. Creeping Charlie still present but still white at the tips. Wondering if I need a second application
Great vid. Everything explained well.
Thank you very much
What's the best way to renovate an existing lawn without nuking the entire lawn? Currently in our new home there is fescue with crabgrass and other various weeds. There's also quite a hand full of bare spots. I don't know exactly what type of fescue seed was used and I was wondering if overseding with SS1000 and KBG is okay to use or will it look horrible with uniformity?
Thank you and will give it a try. Have all the products now! waiting for the wind to stop!
Once again excellent video. For my renovation I will follow your plan. I’ll be applying tenacity to my entire lawn after aerating and the weeds appear followed by fertilizer corrrct?
Excellent video.
I definitely need to get this stuff.
I am thinking I will have to finally get some of this good video thanks
Thank you, if you spend your hard earned money on this at least the results are there and you won't waste time too. Thanks for the kind comment and for watching.
Very clear and easy to follow video. Thank you very much for your great videos. After tenacity application is it ok to apply a fertilize that comes with weed control+insect control. E.g Scott’s Summer guard. How long should you wait after applying tenacity.
What is the recommended temperature range for spraying Tenacity? What were the results on nut sedge? What time of the year are you showing here? Supposedly Tenacity can be used even if you overseed so I’m hoping to use it this fall before I aerate and overseed to control creeping Charlie. Great video and any help here is greatly appreciated
Thanks for making this video! I just got everything you suggested this week. If I cut the grass on Saturdays, is there an optimal day for applying? I imagine if I go a day or two before mowing, there’ll be more contact with the leaves of the weeds. But I can also see an argument for right after mowing because there’s a better chance of making contact with the weeds closer to their roots. Thanks!
No. Embrace creeping Charlie. Never mow again
Great video! Hoping to try this method on our property.
Excellent video. Our lawn is overloaded with creeping charlie. Not sure we have that much grass left. Can we reseed after we have treated? If so, when?
Awesome. I have been looking for something that's safe for my dogs. I plan to give this a try this week.
Great information if it works like you say because everyone who cares about their lawns has these two problem weeds. You are right about if you don’t treat for them they will grow rampant all over the place.
Thank you, I have some neighbors that have become all weeds now
Hi Silver Cymbal, can anything be done if weeds already taken over? Don't know anything about grass/lawn
@@lorettasanford6482 Even if weeds look like they are 99% you probably have at least 30% grass there. Watch my latest video and I show you what I did. ruclips.net/video/c54WSOI-MMc/видео.html
👋 hi! I have treated my lawn as you said. It had lots of crab grass and clovers. It is now turning white those areas treated as you said. Since there is large areas with these weeds do I have to add more dirt and then seeds? Or the good grass will take over? Now the weeds are all turning white. I am kinda stuck now. 😬
Once you mix the tenacity, do you have to use it all at once? Does it lose its potency if you don't use it all at once?
How soon can you reseed after using Tenacity? Love your to the point and easy to understand video.
Thank you for this information. I showed it to my husband and copied the information for him. Ann from Va.
Thanks for the info!
Thank you! Great video!

Super excited to try this. When dead, do you recommend to leave in lawn and allow grass to move in, or remove?
Thank you! I’m going to take the dive this year and do this (I hope, because I don’t feel well a lot.)! Can you still cut your grass every week, or should you hold off? I have a guy who comes one day a week.
I have the same question as Paul M how long before you can reseed
You're awesome! We just bought a house on 1.5 acres in Dallas, and the lawn is covered with weeds, patches of dirt, and very little actual grass. Is there a preferable time to do a big blanket of this across the lawn? Is it ok to do now, still in "winter," or should I wait till Spring?
This is what I've been looking for. My lawn care service has been very ineffective on my creeping charlie.
did it work? my lawn is covered in creeping charlie
Hi. Did you try the tenacity for your creeping Charlie weeds?
@@coracora7714 I need to change my comment about my lawn service. Last Fall, I noticed a marked decline of creeping charlie. They are applying Speedzone as their broadleaf week control. This year, the creeping charlie is all gone except around the flower beds they avoid spraying. I'm using Speedzone in a hand sprayer there and have gotten good control in these small areas. My infestation was pretty heavy a year ago so I guess I needed to be more patient to get rid of this pesky weed. Lawn looks terrific now and grass has filled in all the bare spots left by the dead creeping charlie. Yaay!
@@prsearls thank you so much! I will look into the speedzone.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you sir for the video.
Well done. Great video.
Hi i had question i'm gonna get a container of tenacity i have kentucky blue grass and i have in some spots of Crabgrass that are in a single blade form in the early stage! Can i spray the whole lawn just make sure i get all of the Crabgrass? Would that be ok or no thank you in advance.?
I don’t recommend whole lawn spraying, it uses a lot of products and is too east to over apply and potentially cause damage. Do spot spraying like I did and if you want to see this done for an entire yard and how fast it is watch my other video where I turned my lawn around using Tenacity and some other great info I think you will like: ruclips.net/video/VT73LKxPiWo/видео.html
Great video.
.......i will be trying this
Great video. Triclopyr is specifically for Creeping Charlie. I hear it works pretty good and is less expensive than Tenacity. Do you know anything about it? Thanks.
Awesome channel!
Hurray! Something for Northeast lawns. Exactly what “attacks” my grass each year, especially creeping and crabgrass 😡. Beautiful spring lawn goes from lush to 💩 this time every year. THANK YOU
Thank you, people don't realize how bad crabgrass gets for us. August is the worst so if you get this going in the next couple of weeks you will save a lot of trouble and next year will much much lighter too. - Everything you need to be weed free: Tenacity Weed Control: amzn.to/2JM4APm - Surfactant: amzn.to/2Xz6dod - Dye/Colorant: amzn.to/2XRUT6V

Silver Cymbal ugh...August! Can we go straight to September 😂
Don't rush it! We already lost 3 months to rain 😀
Just one question creeping Charlie is taking over my lawn this looks great but can you mow your lawn after applying this chemical.
I have eliminated 99.9% of Charlie and 99% of sedge from 2/3 of an acre of lawn. I started hand picking the Charlie early each Spring and continued into the season until the ivy was gone. This took a LOT of walking the yard. (I’m retired by the way and have lots of time for this) Over the course of several years, Charlie is all but completely gone. I might find a few new ones each year but for the most part, it’s GONE. As for sedge, I hand pick it also in the same fashion. You have to grasp the plant down near the base to pull the whole plant out by the root. My next target is corn speedwell. I also eliminated dandelions the same way, using a weed puller.
Tenacity works well and I’ve used it on creeping bentgrass with limited success. Much of it has remerged and I’ve given up on trying to stop it.
I just watched a video tauting dried molasses to remove nutsedge. Good luck!
Thank you for your video. I am very interested in using these products. I have a couple questions - do I need to clean my mulching mower blade the first few times after spraying, so-as not kill the grass? Does the dye permanently stain rock, or concrete? Thank you.
No the dye won't cause any long term staining, if you get it on something you don't want it to it's gone witha few days to week. You don;t need to do any of that with yoru blades, just spray and watch the weeds go and mow as usual. Just dont mow for 2 days before or after application. Other than that always read the label but you are ready. Everything you need to be weed free: Tenacity Weed Control: amzn.to/2JM4APm - Surfactant: amzn.to/2Xz6dod - Dye/Colorant: amzn.to/2XRUT6V

Good info, thanks!
How early can I put on my lawn and also how many days before it rains may I apply it ? I live in upstate NY
Do you have an equivalent recommendation for use in Canada where tenacity is not allowed?
Sly Tye you need to slap around your politicians
Beautiful place my friend
Thanks for sharing Sir👍👍👍
You're awesome.. thanks brotha.
Thank you
Great Video. When can I watering my lawn after apply the solution?
It’s rainfast after 6 hours, but I’d give it 24 hours just to be sure.
Great video. I also would like to kill grass on the flower bed, will this product kill grass as well or do i need to add something else? thank you.
Hey SC, two questions. I live in the burbs of chicago, when will be a good time to apply this and also can this be used in a garden to kill off the creeping charlie without adversely effecting soil?
chicago here too......i have same questions but how do we get him to answer? thanks
Thanks for this info…when can I water the grass after spraying this?
You are the best!
Toss the syringe and use a measuring spoon instead. The syringe gets sticky once the surfactant gets in it, then the dye makes it impossible to read. The syringe made this job aggravating and messy for me.
Today is exactly 1 week after my first application and the weeds are turning white while the grass remains unaffected. I’m going to apply the 2nd treatment next week which should kill any weeds that were missed last time. GREAT stuff!
Glad to hear it worked out well. Don't give up on the syringe, I find it very useful. When I am done I will often suck up some water a few times and put it in the sprayer. If you are using the dye I put the description I haven't had any issues. No matter how you measure, at least you are on your way to getting rid of the weeds thats what matters most.
All great stuff SC.
Thank you very much
Nice job
Hi there - after the weeds turn white and die - do we have to pull them? If you said the weed dies, root and all, then couldn’t we just mow them up? Or does the root stay pretty well connected to the soil, even though it is dead?
*do you really need to mix the colorant for this process? I a lot of creeping charlie that I really need to get rid of* 😊
Is there a right time of year to do this? Wouldn’t the hot summer months kill everything using the tenacity?
I was curious to know if you are still using Tenacity this year or are you trying another product? If so, what are you trying? Thanks.
Creeping Charlie is very healthy, it helped me getting when I had a bad cold
Thanks for sharing
Does it work for crab grass?
Hi on your sprayer which nozzle did you use? It looks like the blue one if I'm correct?
Thank you for the tip on killing Weeds on my lawn.

After applying this product what was your watering cycle or did you water after the 6th day?
My entire lawn is nothing but weeds. Looking forward to spraying it all down and starting fresh
Question...If I make a two gallon solution, as this video demonstrates, can I leave unused liquid in the spray tank for many months? Can it stay in the tank sprayer for a year and be used effectively next season?
How long does it have to be rain free after applying?
I've tried using tenacity twice now on my lawn that has creeping Charlie, nutsedge and clover. The first treatment didn't do much for me, but the second treatment was much more effective however there doesn't seem to be any effect on the creeping charlie. Any thought on why that would be?
Nice video!
What would you suggest if my lawn is made up of like 95% weeds? Spray the whole lawn?
IF YOU DON’T USE THE WHOLE (BATCH) YOU’VE MIXED-UP, HOW LONG WILL IT LAST/KEEP IN THE SPRAYER IF YOU PLAN TO RETREAT AREAS IN 2 to 3+ WEEKS???
hello can you tell me the preferred outside temperature to apply this product? thank you
New subscriber here. I have a question about the tenacity product. I have recently made a lavender bed for my fiance around the front of my home. The plants are spaced out some at this time so I am able to get in between them with reasonable space to spray. Do you think this would kill out the lavender?
If I spray this on my lawn, I’ll have nothing left to mow!
Same here
I used to think that same thing, Watch my project video where a dump turned into a pretty nice space with Tenacity: ruclips.net/video/VT73LKxPiWo/видео.html
Are you saying it killed your grass?
@@TommyG5585 I think he means that his lawn is all weeds so if he sprayed it there wouldn't be anything green left. BUT watch how bad my lawn was ruclips.net/video/VT73LKxPiWo/видео.html before weed control. There is grass in there trying to make it!
Hilarious!!!
Hmmm it works very well with clovers but didnt really work with creeping charlie... is there any other way?
I've used Tenacity for years in No. Virginia to control Bermuda grass and it works for that. I apply a pre-emergent like Dimension to prevent crabgrass. If the occasional crabgrass plant emerges, I just pull it out. Spurge power seems to work on most weeds. These unwanted grasses and weeds seem to really emerge during hot weather stretches. Any other recommendations would be appreciated.
OK, I just made up a gallon of Tenacity/surfactant/dye and hit some spots in St. Augustine lawn in SE Texas. Now we wait. :^) I would have done it sooner (got my stuff about 3 weeks ago), but reading the directions, I need to do it in between waterings, and I'm having to water pretty much every day right now. I just bit my lip, turned off the sprinkler system, and put out the Tenacity.
I hope it works without killing the grass, because down here, once it gets warm (basically March or April) we can't use pre-emergent anymore. I'll update here in a week.
Wow, is Tenacity ever concentrated. I think with one bottle I've got a lifetime supply.
OK, the Tenacity is definitely working. Just about everywhere I sprayed it, the targeted weeds have turned white. Some took longer than others. It's a bit freaky how paper-white they are.
I've since read that it's better if you apply Tenacity when it's not too hot (I forget the exact temperature threshold) so when I apply some more this weekend, I'm going to do it in the evening. I did notice that in the sunny areas of my lawn, the grass itself did pale a bit, so it was probably a bit too hot at the time. It's regularly in the high 90's and beyond where I live this time of year.
So, this is great. I have something I can use post-emergent on my lawn for weed control. I use Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns in the early spring, which works well but I can't use it once it starts getting warm, which happens around March or April here. I suppose from now on I can keep using that pre-emergent or Tenacity, switching to just Tenacity post-emergent. I don't think I should use Tenacity in my beds in any case, but there I can continue to use Spectracide Weed and Grass Killer (like Roundup but a different chemical) if I'm careful about overspray. Only thing left is something to kill nutsedge in my beds - for that I want to try something called Sedgehammer. Has anyone tried that?
BTW, someone had asked if Tenacity is safe for bermuda grass, and I had promised I would report back what Tenacity did to the bermuda grass in my St. Augustine lawn (where bermuda grass is not wanted!), but I can't find where I wrote that. So, FWIW, it looks to me like Tenacity is killing the bermuda grass in my lawn, which is great for me, but not so good for people with bermuda grass lawns. I think Silver Cymbal posted somewhere in these comments a better product than Tenacity for bermuda grass lawns. HTH.
