I like this type of videos! Thank you! This is like your old videos…back to the basics!! Remember we are still fifth graders that never graduated!!😅😂
😂 that's right!!!!
And often in the principal’s office, LOL!
Fifth grade has been the best 4 years of my life.
I don’t usually comment under post but you are one of the best guys on here and you give great information while breaking it down for the common man. Thank you
Awesome video, Allyn! Production value was top notch and your teaching style is very easy to follow and engaging throughout. Well done, and thanks for the info!
Image works great and is a lot less expensive than RoundUp. I counted 16 different types of weeds in my lawn including the dreaded.....dollarweed! Image killed them all.
Back to the basics! Love this style of videos. I’ve been watching for 3 years and have learned so much but I still come and watch these tutorials before/during applications. I don’t fear the burn, I second guess myself on misunderstanding the safety label sometimes.
LCN…I’ve been a viewer for a few years now and I’ve enjoyed all your content. I’ve noticed in the last year you have experimented with a new style and type of videos as you try to be creative and come up with new content. However, I’d just like the say that the normal, everyday, necessary tasks that you undertake in your yard and project lawns each year are more than enough to keep me coming back to view your content. Looking forward to what the 2023 season has to offer! God bless brother!
Thanks bro!!
I would love to see your neighbors reaction when LCN bat signal goes out(BAHIAAAAAAA GRASS) when you are down on the lawn!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!
image works so great on my bermuda here in texas. i swear by it and my lawn shows!
Very helpful! I'm battling weeds like crazy after being sick for awhile. All kinds of invasives have moved in thanks to the county mower who tends the curb and drags all his cuttings through the area to make sure we all get plenty of unwanted things in our yards!
Good stuff Allyn, especially like the integrated approach - only apply where actually needed.
That entire bottle of Image poured into a 4 gallon sprayer, treats 5000 sq ft. That's my entire front yard. That's convenient.
I spray to my side where I don't walk thru it, use blue marker, and with my pace it works out perfectly.
Excellent video Allyn, this is exactly what I was looking for. Now I can compare the actual cost of other products as well. I really like the text over videos and illustrations, it's great to hear what your doing, but to see it in writing makes it easier for me to remember. Thank you for all you do Allyn, I'm Subscribed, and I do use your app and printouts all the time.
Cool thanks Mikey! Enjoy the mow, bro!
You caught me! I tend to wander off straight line spraying if I see a big weed clump on the side. I can't resist! 😂
I do it too! (sshhhhh)
Great video bro and awesome Spring Fling T-shirt. Even a 5th grader could understand this video. Keep them coming LCN.
Exactly the answer I needed! I keep finding myself picking weeds and not real sure what product to use.
Thanks for this. I needed reminding and I have some of that. You are the best.
I think I will try it this weekend! Thanks again!
Another entertaining and informative video sir! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Brah!
Bring on summer. I'm about to purchase my fert and N-ext for the spring, summer, and fall. I found Allen back in 2018. The year before, it was our first summer in our house (first homeowners). I had no clue what I was doing with weed control, water, fertilizer, etc. So I hired True Green for the first summer we were there. My lawn was garbage. So I fired them and in January of 2018 I started looking into doing it myself and I found Allen. So glad I did. My lawn was lush and green that summer in 95-degree heat (my grass is KGB). I remember a day I came back from a fishing trip and nothing made me prouder to turn on the street I live on and seeing this green, thick lawn that was suffering and dying the previous summer, going to the backyard, and cracking open a beer and taking in the how good my backyard looked. I never turned back. Stick to a schedule. Lawn care doesn't have to take up your life. Feed it, water, it, and mow it at least once a week and it'll do the rest. Thanks for the work you put in to educate us, Allen.
Bro I LOVE that Papa Jim shirt in the thumbnail!
RIP Papa Jim
Welcome in Papa John 😆
ha ha! I knew you would notice that!! 😂
Great video! Easy for a newbie to understand.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I really enjoy these teaching videos the most.
I'm going to need to try some of that out! Looks like it works well
Always very helpful Thank you.😃
Great Video and great timing. I just sprayed Image this past weekend and the clover was curling the next day! Zone 9a Southwestern Louisiana. Our Temps have been steadily hitting 80 degrees this past week.
Have you put prodiamine out already? I’m in Allen Parish
@@jackderaway yes, I put it out last weekend in the same application with the Image and also Bifin IT. That probably should have been the second application of Prodiamine, but better late than never. Our soil temps are currently the lower 70's and the first application of Prodiamine should ideally be when our soil temps start hitting 55 degrees regularly. Good luck 👍
@@joeytrahan how’s that bifin it work out? You like it better than the store brands like sevin and spectracide?
@@jackderaway I use the bifin IT in conjunction with Tekko Pro and I can't complain. LCN did a video on why to use both of those and they have worked for me. I only use the Tekko Pro when spraying the exterior of my house and shop. Bifin, I spray the entire yard.
Thanks a lot for all the great videos, I started my business 5 years ago I got my self educated on this field because I wanna to help my customers in the best way and protect their investment of course my climate is very different then yours but it helps a bunch to see different methods and techniques.
Great video! Very helpful
I fired my lawn and chemical guy two years ago and started doing it myself. Thanks to your videos! I just used Image last weekend and I’m already seeing weeds turning brown. My Zoysia grass is coming out of dormancy and the scalping was scary but it’s really starting to bounce back nicely. Tampa Zone 9b
My biggest issue with the big company is I never knew when they were coming and I told them I couldn't afford them more than once a month. Sometimes they would come 2 or 3 times a month. It is hard to budget when they do that
Agree! Which is why if a homeowner is able to DYI it really is the better way to go.
that's awesome to hear! Right now we are very warm and dry as you know - so be sure your watering is in line too!
Do you use any protective clothing such as mask and gloves when applying this? I have never done this and I want to do it, but not sure what is the safest way?
@@j3d3d1ah Excellent question! The label will always tell you the proper PPE for the application. In this case, the PPE is long pants, long sleeves, eye protection (sunglasses are ok) and socks + Shoes. I have specific shoes that I wear when I spray weeds and other chems. I only use that pair of shoes for chemical apps.
Great up close camera angles of weed kill in Turf! 🔥
Great video! How do you dispose of leftover mixture. Since you're spot spraying, but calculated total sq ft?
Great video Allyn!! I was wondering what you would do about bittercress weeds that I found in some parts of the lawn. If it is mowed or pulled out does it spread? Would you just spray it?
Interesting to see they are identical!
On another note, if I’m spraying Tenacity for Nimbleweed would you recommend adding baby shampoo for a surfactant or does it already contain one?
I live in San Antonio and I have St. Augustine grass. My back yard has a section of just Nutsedge and different kinds of other weeds and the front yard has the common weeds like dandelions and clover. I was wondering if I could use Scott’s Halts crabgrass and grassy weed preventer for a pre-emergent and for a post emergent the image kills nutsedge or do you recommend using the image southern
Very helpful thanks
Very well done sir
Great video! Do you have a video for pre-emergent for warm southern lawns? specifically St. Aug.
Your tips are always great. I tried the image spray Sunday at 75 degree day. Today is Tuesday and I see no results. How did I screw it up.
Question for you, I have Poa Annua and have sprayed the stuff you recommended and laid down a Prodiamine pre-emergent as well. I have Zoysia grass that I'm planning on overseeding this spring because of some drought damage last year and poor sprinkler coverage. So this year, I purchased some Zoysia seed and going to try and put it out and see if that helps. My question is how long should I wait to put the seed down after applying the Image and Pre-Emergent? My thinking is that if I put the seed down now, these weed killers would hurt the seed correct?
Dear Lawn Care Nut, For some strange reason my Floratam does not like the Image weed killer. It kills the weeds and knocks the life out the Floratam in the process. The Spectracide Purple bottle works flawlessly. Takes a little bit longer but it works. What could be happening here?
Great video…Thank you
Great vid…thank you!!! More more more
I can't stop laughing at your "Baaaahiiiiiiiiaaaah grass". Love your content as well.
Nice technique Al. TrueGreen taught you well. 😁
Orlando st augustine yard (sand/loamy soil) - used the Image 2x within 60 days and did a decent job of the crabgrass (turned a dark blue before dying) and also some of the others. Im hoping my grass will eventually choke it all out. I do spot weed pull in between to maintain as well.
Great video.
Any advice for clover? Tall type fescue and looking good right now in the transition zone. Got a few mounds of clover and don’t want to use tenacity as it usually kills my grass.
Alan can't wait to get out in the lawn start raking and rolling and plugging the lawn
I know that feeling! When I lived in NW Indiana, I would use any excuse I could to get out and rake early on in the season!
I luv the embassy suites soundtracks in this one 😁
ha ha!! nailed it.
Kinda early to be crackin that Modelo, brother. Ha ha, great info, thanks!
Love the new take on the videos! Do you still recommend the sunniland weed and feed?
getting a little late in the season now. I like it in Jan and Feb mostly.
Hello, I do have a question. I live in central Florida and the lawn is St. Augustine. I want to transition to something more drought resistant, like Zoysia. What is the best (easiest) transition method? Thanks
Gosh I don’t know where to start!! I have burweeds all along the back part of my property and Bahia grass (I think that’s what it is… the fast growing weed looking stuff that had the V on the tip with the many visible soft black seed looking things). I have the clover looking stuff sprinkled throughout as well. What can I use to get rid of the mess and keep the grass? Very South Georgia (about 2 miles from the Florida line).
prefer atrazine for SFL lawns / saint Augustine. I tend to do a heavier concentration when I spray.. keep the lawn thick and high to crown them out. Also use milorganite and use the Scotts with atrazine intermittently as well. Not really watering too much, try to stay away from the fungus lol specially when it rains here so much.. but all knowledge my brother came from you. some of these herbicides are priceyyyyyy
I live in Florida and I have St Augustine grass 😩. My neighbor doesn’t maintain his lawn and the weeds have come over into my small lawn. Can I apply the Image fertilizer with Milorganite or should I fertilize first?
Hi Allen, serious question if I use the small packet of Celsius for spot spraying on my 3000 sq ft yard, can I leave the Celsius in that sprayer for several months or will it weaken???
Allyn, can i use instead prodiamine or dithiopyr for weed control for bahiagrass in the spring/fall ?
Another thing worth mentioning is that $155 gallon might only have a shelf life of 3 yrs. If you got a 5000 square foot lawn or smaller you'll be throwing it away which is really bad for our environment.
excellent point!
Will it be ok if I just blanket spray? So I don’t miss any tiny weeds about to grow . Thanks
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU..I opted for image because i really do not ever see myself needing avenue south big jug when its lil ol lawn of mine and i dont own a business to be purchasing a big jug. Thanks so much for this..can i still fertilize and use this or leave a few days between
In spring 2024 I have someone putting down liquid Stonewall pre-emergent. Say late Feb or 1st week of March. Can I come back a few weeks later with a granular preventer that does use the same active ingredient as Stonewall (Prodiamine I believe) ?
What kind of back pack sprayer do you like? Is it battery or pump?
Mister Lawn Care Nut dude I recently brought Tenacity Herbicide for my lawn but I just found out that supposedly the grass that I have which I truly do believe is Zoysia Grass is a bad product to use with Tenacity in order to kill weeds and crabgrass. I live in Easley, South Carolina that is the South East Of the United States.What Herbicide do you think I should be using instead of Tenacity?
Northern lawn owners need your recommendation. Upstate New York with subzero temps and about 45 inches of snow for the winter. :(
Thank you
Thanks ❤
Once mixed how long before the mix is no longer good? I think I remember seeing that it can be good up to 90 days before it has to be disposed.
Is the hose type image just as good?
What do we need to do with cool season grass in PNW are
What is recommended for northern clovers?
Mr Lawn Care Nut can these be used in late afternoon when temp drops below 85. I use to live in st.pete and that does not happen during summer daylight hours.. I now live in Melbourne Fla and we get a brisk east sea breeze in summer months and it does get below 80 by 6 pm so?
I bought a home that has St Augustine grass and didn’t really understand how to take care of it until watching this channel. However I am struggling with weeds really bad (gophers are making bare spots and I have to wait for grass to cover spots they destroy) I cannot find anything available on the shelves to help kill the weeds. Nothing can be shipped here. Anyone know of what I could use?
Is this comparable to Atrazine? I’m having a hard time getting Atrazine local to me here in Florida and I’ve tried to order on Amazon but they won’t ship it here. I need to do something about these weeds soon
Can you make a video or email with pics of most commons weeds on our lawn of Florida. I have a hard time taking pictures and hoping google can recognize them
What you recommend for crabgrass don't recall on seeing it on this product
What can I do when my lawn looks bad? Please advise
Hi my friend thank for your help,, I have a question about this this kill sedge ??
it does not do very well on sedge. I recommend "Sedgehammer" for that
What else can I use in Southern California because I can’t get does products?
My bahia is completely covered in weeds. Do you recommend do this?
Should you cut the lawn before spraying for weeds? Should that happen the same day or spray weeds a day or 2 before the mow?
If I leave Clover to grow in my lawn (the deer love it) is it detrimental to the TTTF lawn I have? Thanks! Also, I really like the content you produce.
It's not detrimental other than it competes with your fescue for space.
I'm at a point now where I can spot spray but last year was hellfire missiles for any results.
When I spot spray I just use my stripes as a guide and walk up and down each one like I was mowing
Any idea what a fine blade of grasses in my saint augustine Could be
Hello Allyn - 4+ year follower and customer. Your opinion on Celsius. I switched to it because it addresses signal grass (none others do that I could determine). I had also read that image can be more harmful to St. A. Celsius is not cheap but has worked very well for me (now that my spraying knowledge/skills have developed. Thx for all your advice over the years! David (Maitland,FL.)
Hey Dave - I like Celsius alot, works great, just a little slow. We have single use packets for sale now here thelawncarenut.com/products/celsius-wg it's expensive to buy it that way, but it's less outlay of cash up front.
Can you broadcast spray my entire lawn with Image Southern Lawn? I am in Georgia and have St. Augustine mostly in my front yard and Bermuda and some St.Augustine in the back.
Can I apply Stress Blend and spot spray image same day?
Do you see any issue in mixing up a batch and storing it in the garage (FL) for spot applications? Will the heat and/or duration of storage cause potency issues? I have 3x 1-gallon sprayers (glyphosate, atrazine, sedgehammer) that I use for quick spot applications
...I guess boiling down to the question to: what is the technical reason for "not spraying over 85F"? Loss of effectiveness?
@@cameronlemme8324 over 85F can cause damage to your good turfgrass. As far as how long it lasts mixed up, I don;t know and it isn't listed on the label. SO I recommend you try it and see. They sell single gallons of "ready to use" sprayes that you can store in the garage so I don't see how mixing it yourself would be any diffrent.
Recently realized crabgrass has taken over large sections of my front and back St. Augustine lawn. I’ve been looking into using a weed killer like this one. Does this not kill the St. Augustine when you apply it?
What they call buffalo grass in Australia is actually St Augustine. Buffalo grass in the us is a native prairie grass to the great plains that very recently people started using as a turf grass for its low water and mowing requirements.
Good stuff
Image works, but it is SLOOOOOOOOW. Keep it simple Allyn. How much do I need per gallon and which tip is the best to use. I got your backpack sprayer. I have been having issues with hose end sprayers
I sprayed Image to kill Poa 2 weeks ago and it’s hard being patient
Do I need to cut the lawn prior to application?
Could trimec work on zoyisa grass?
Hey Allyn, I see that you didn't use glyphosate on the FF although, it is ProVista. As an owner of Provista I am curious to know if that was strategy, or, if you were demonstrating the Image product. In other words, should I keep spraying the glyphosate as necessary or do something else.
Excellent question. Glyphosate can damage ProVista if it's dormant and this lawn is still coming out of dormancy so I elected to use the IMage for Southern Lawns which won't matter either way. I use Glyphosate all during the rest of the year when the turf is fully active.
Current grass is dormant (metro Atlanta). Is it OK to target all very sporadic green spots of growth?
Cool season grasses....start.your.engines!
Can I spray this product after i mow the yard?
Applying in 95 degree weather? Can I apply in the afternoon once it is below 85 and getting down to 75 overnight?
What's opinion on tenacity turf Herbicide?
Why have I never thought to prime the sprayer line by spraying it back into the tank🤦🏼♂️
