I'm curious what you're coverage density was in the surge product.
This will be my 3rd year with tenacity…..it’s completely transformed my lawn ……two best things I’ve ever did ….1)tenacity application in the fall 2) stop mowing grass so short. in my opinion….those are the two BIGGEST things
@@ZeroEight New York(cold season) 2 3/4” in the spring and fall ….when the grass is growing really good and 3” in the dead heat of summer to try and keep the ground temp down
It says it’s sold out 😭
i mow mine 3/4 inch bermuda grass texas
@jeremy I’m in NY too, Long Island. It’s like a weird microclimate… I’ve been mowing year round at about 2.5 ( but my mower is electric so it’s really light, so it may be “floating” some). Some tenacity and a good split app pre emergent really made the biggest difference! I had exactly 2 crabgrass plants this year. My only nemesis is bent grass, and poa in the spring. Gonna hit the fall pre emergent this year for poa.
I’m right with you 🫡
I use your lawn tips every year thank you.
Much appreciated, glad they have been helpful
Honestly I could not focus at all on the weeds, or the amazing transformation of your lawn because I am mesmerized by the absolute beauty of your property....Wow!! It is just breathtaking, and I am looking forward to all the projects you have going forward and the fall colors of all your trees.
Thank you so much, its unreal how bad it was here but the location is so nice. Not sure if you saw my mouse problem video ruclips.net/video/x9_5rp0g6Ro/видео.html but after solving that I feel like the lawn is easy.
Very long time subscriber and I’d just like to thank you for all the content. Sincere congratulations on all of your success and I look forward to many more of your videos.
Thank you so much I really appreciate the kind words
@@SilverCymbal another long time subscriber here and really glad to see how your channel has taken off. Do you know if Anderson's and Tenacity can be used on St Augustine grass?
@@srkd7901 Thank you. Andersons is fine for St Augustine, but Tenacity is not. Check out my weed page and choose warm season, you do need to choose a product that fits the weed, but they are good choices. Hope this helps: www.silvercymbal.com/controlling-weeds
@@SilverCymbal Thanks mate really appreciate it 🙏
Thank you for your videos. I've watched quite a few and I'm impressed by the wide variety of information you offer. Lots of different topics. Please keep them coming. I've learned a lot.
Thank you so much for the frequent uploads. The quality of these are impressive too.
Outstanding video. Been using Tenacity for almost 3 years now since first watching your videos and it continues to work great! Thank you for the updated version.
Your overall presentation, video and audio, is the best online instruction around. I've purchased nearly everything you've recommended for lawns and tools.. Great channel.
Thank you so much for your videos. You're the only one I've found that does lawns in NE. We're almost neighbors 😁. Your content gave me the info and confidence to make my lawn GORGEOUS with a reasonable budget and equipment. My friends are stunned when they find out i do my lawn myself.
Just moved into a new house with lots of weedy lawn. Thank you so much for the info! Great timing.
Just started watching this whole month I’ve been studying your videos will transform my lawn this year 💪🏽
I have been a fan for many years of your videos. We miss you in Massachusetts but it’s nice to see you enjoying the next chapter in New Hampshire. Wishing you and your family good health. Thank you for all the wonderful information.
Thank you so much I really appreciate that.
Great video, thanks for the information. I've got lots of weeds to get rid of and this should do the trick! Thanks again for posting another great video.
Always love your lawn care content!
Your channel has given the most practical and useful info of any channel here on RUclips. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, very nice of you to say
Holy sh**!! What a transformation!!! Looks amazing and your views are stunning! Well done 👍 great video
Another great video Silver. I hope you love NH and your new compound. Take care. Bill from Worcester
Love the new addition on tenacity bottle. I lost my needle and haven’t been able to use product.
Great job with the lawn! It’s looks awesome
Same here, Tenacity is amazing!
Tenacity also is special because you can seed very shortly after spraying!
Cheers,
Eric
The most amazing video and channel of Lawncare on RUclips. I’ve learned so much. Thank you ❤
Love you channel and have seen tremendous results in my lawn! Can you do a video of how to remove tree roots that have surfaced from the lawn? Tree companies want hundreds of bucks to grind them out but I feel like you can figure out a clever alternative!
Love all your videos, but the lawn ones are my favorites!!!!
Very much appreciate the tips man. Great video as always 👍
I'm in the middle of this process myself. I wish i knew about that Andersons weed and feed before now. I did tenacity at the start of summer in a blanket treatment that took care of some of the issues. In the last month I've done 2 blankets of momentum 4-score that has nuked almost everything that isn't grass, it even hurt the common Bermuda creeping in the fescue. Now I'm planning on tenacity with overseed and a spring preemergent.
Sir this video is a homerun! I can totally agree with Tenacity. It’s my goto product. I look forward to getting the granular weed and feed. Thanks for sharing!
I'd love to see a video on how to seed an alternative to the monoculture lawn that doesn't need fertilizer, herbicide and frequent maintenance but still looks nice. A meadow like lawn with hardy plants like microclover, perennial Rye Grass, Roman Chamomile, some fescue, English Daisy etc
That's easy, just don't maintain your lawn. Those plants will have no problem coming in and colonizing your yard.
@@mplslawnguy3389 Not that easy - you might get lucky but there is a high chance that junk plants will take over if you don't seed anything.
@@Leonidimus59 Weeds are just something we say are weeds. I have a few things that most people call weeds in my garden that I just let go. Have no idea what they are but they flower like crazy.
Yes this is the way. Not monoculture non native lawns.
You are very talented with this stuff
Thank you for the awesome information! With fall now here and folks looking to over seed etc. how long would you say should someone wait after applying granule and spray herbicides? My front lawn is a mess and I'd like to start removing the weeds asap to make way for new seed etc. Thank you for your great content!
Always great info thanks again brother
Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!
Your new place is looking great.
Here's what I've been waiting for!! *watching*
This is a great video, this year my yard and weeks went way overboard. I am usually ahead of it each year, but this year I was hurt and had back surgery, so couldn't do my normal yard work like i usually do. So next year, this will really be a game changer. The only other question i have, this year moles showed up in mine and my neighbors' yards in droves, do you have any tips on clearing them or killing grubs and such to get them out? Learned so much from your channels, thank you!
Thank you. After this drought, I feel like I gave up a few years of work.
After this dry Summer here in Mass I'm applying Tenacity, then a Core Aeration, followed by Jonathan Green Black Beauty Ultra. Hopeully in a month I'll have my lawn back. BTW...yours is looking spectacular.
You sound like you are on the right track. The BB Ultra is a great choice. I have 5 bags I just bought in the garage, this place needs it. I should hopefully have that video up by next weekend. Thank you for the nice words.
I love Black Beauty seed. My real issue is watering and the perimeter of my lawn. Wherever I have a watering problem I have a weed problem.
Can you seed/overseed a week after using Tenacity?
Jeff, Ihope you have better results than I did last September. I’m in Massachusetts as well. I killed the weeds with Tenacity, core aerated, Same seed as well as JG starter fert, then top dressed with peat moss with a roller. I have irrigation and got barely any grass. I even skipped the pre-emergent this spring hoping for more germination. I’m left with a huge lawn full of weeds again. Back to the drawing board!
Your Lawn looks incredible. 😎
Thank you, its coming alone. Consdiering I spent 2 weeks battling mice I am so happy I could still work on it.
There are very few channels where I know I'm going to enjoy it before I even click on it. Yours and Project Farm always get a view, often 3 or 4 for refreshers, and get a LIKE before the video even starts! You should COLLAB with PF.
Grate Video. Thank You.
I surprised this wasn’t mentioned considering how thorough Silver usually is. Tenacity is also a pre emergent that is safe to use before seeding.
That new bottle is much better. That syringe it use to come with was kind of a pain in the ass.
You are 100% right. The only reason I haven't yet is that I haven't used it personally for that but I know people absolutely love it for that function. All great points and useful info, thank you
Great info
First, I didn’t know I had dallisgrass! And didn’t honestly know about that weed before this video and had assumed it was all crabgrass.
Thanks for the detailed and straight forward guidance! Another excellent video.
No problem glad it helped. Dallisgrass is a perennial too so its defintiely something you want to get rid of. At one time dallisgrass was believed to be a good plant for animals to graze on but ended up being toxic to them. So it isnt really good for anything these days
I’m in the process of swapping my Bermuda grass with horse purse lane. It’s so thick and springy and only needs water once a week or so in southern Arizona. It’s insanely drought resistant. You can mow it. And it’s really hardy to being tread on.
Thank you posting this video! We're struggling with weeds. May I ask how long after applying the Anderson product can we start using the Tenacity one? Our lawn is probably going to need both 😂
Great video. I’m thinking about insourcing my lawn care since my guy is up to $100 a treatment and according to my nest cam, he’s not at my house for more than 10 minutes. I get the weed control part, but do you have a video and product you recommend for the fertilizer schedule? I’m also not sure about grub control….
Awesome video! How long did you wait to put down the tenacity after the Andersons granular?
Excellent video. I bought the surge fertilizer in video because I have a lot of weeds on my lawn. I also plan on aerating my lawn and adding more seed. What order would you recommend? Can I aerate and then use surge fertilizer and seed afterward? Thanks!
How long did you wait between the first application was put down and when tenacity was used?
Hello, Thank you for all your information, your channel has helped me a lot. Could you please let me know (if you can) how long I need to wait to seed after applying The Anderson's weed & Feed? Also, how long after a tenacity treatment before seed can be spread? I looked on the lables, but could not find the information. Thank you
Good luck watering that in. Hasnt Rained here in NY all summer!
cap, it’s rained in NY all summer long
@@ttteslafanboi-torontorapto6785 not south of Putnam County. This was the year……I was gonna make my weeds into a lawn. I bought a 275g tote and piped it from my gutters to a sprinkler pump. It rained exactly two afternoons here. Not even a lot. Every storm didn’t materialize over my house. The tote has been empty since June.
It has been really challenging this year, I am amazed I didn't lose the whole lawn, I am hoping next year the weather is a little easier on the landscape
@@SilverCymbal i turned into one of those old people who says "we need the rain"
Love your videos and appreciate the knowledge you're sharing! Have an ugly lawn in western MA that I'm hoping to improve following your approach. (Is that Mt. Cube you can see from your spot?)
Thank You, Great info to save $$$
Glad it was helpful!
Great turn around Silver. Now with the bigger property will you be looking into maybe a Perma-Green or is this still manageable with a backpack sprayer and spreader.
I just noticed the SURGE Fertilizer isn't for sale or use in Nassau or Suffolk County in NY which is where I live. I wonder why.
Thank you so much!!!! ❤
Another great video. First video I have seen someone talk about andersons post emergent product. Everyone is always about their pre emergent. Anderson makes great products too. I know pre is best in spring and sometimes late summer going into fall for us warm season grass folks. what I like is you made a video for someone who just moved into a house and have to deal with the weeds now. So what would be a good strategy to use for the pre and most emergent products in a full year calendar? TIA
Silver,
I’m in zone 7b. Backyard is about 1200 sf and a mix of fescue but mostly weeds. Prior owners never took care of it. Thick weeds. I need to seed now. I do like Anderson products. So I van weed and feed with their product and then seed with tall fescue? I’ll get tenacity, but have such a large area of weeds to kill. Thank you for your tutorials. I’m going to take pix along the way and I’ll tag you on IG since I’ll be following your advice. Lawn is half full sun and half moderate to most shade.
From my experience Scotts weed and feed granules takes twice as much product as what it says to get only mediocre results. Its only worth it when I get a bag on clearance. Your original lawncare video from years ago along with some special products for southern soils, weeds, and grass was a great source to improve my lawn.
Looking forward to part 2 (over seeding!). Always concerned about my well water with these things. I need to do more research. I bought a place with a disaster for a lawn. Weeds out of control, moles, and ants galore. :D
Keep an eye out. I will be showing my well filter setup I put in here. Obviously its good to reduce any chemicals but some are naturally occuring and the filter will remove all of them.
@@SilverCymbal Perfect! Your videos have really been helpful! Appreciate ya.
Unfortunately my well pump is 700’ down and we have a softener before any faucets. I hear salt is great for the lawn………not
@@Samlol23_drrich Most of the time, the outside spigots are plumbed around the softener, this isnt just beteter for the lawn, it saves your well chemicals from being depleted. Maybe that is what you have?
@@SilverCymbal definitely not. Its what I should have. The pitiless adapter line runs below the frost line into the side of my foundation. Two feet later in hits the pressure tank and tee, then to a whole house filter and softener. All copper within 5 feet of each other. Then to the rest of the house. I thought of tapping into the line after the tank but before the softener. Then I would need to run it to the 4 outside spigots and cap off the existing lines. Major pain. And my auto top off for my pool ran all summer and used all my salt and clogged my filters. Arrgh.
Can you suggest to me which is the best lawn type for me? I live in an area that is classified as BSh according to the Köppen-Geiger climate classification.
In other words, it is considered a hot semi-arid climate. the average annual temperature is 27.2 °C | 81.0 °F. Precipitation here is about 511 mm | 20.1 inches per year.
Why not use a tow-behind sprayer (Northstar) and blanket spray tenacity along with another broadleaf herbicide like Speedzone? Wish I'd heard of Andersen's weed and feed before so I could've bought that instead. Based on your results, you obviously hit the nail on the head.
Is this something I can do in the middle of summer? Should I start this at end of summer for my zone?
What’s a good weed killer for horse herb? I live in south Texas
Do you recommend Surge solely in the spring, or is a fall application beneficial too?
You are my lawn guru😂.
Please, please, please post or send me a lawn maintenance schedule. I live in NY and I never know when to seed , weed or feed. Every year my lawn looks great for 1 minute and then overtaken by weeds, dead or bare spots and just awful the next minute. HELP!
Enjoyed the video! Do you know if Tenacity will take out Lespedeza?
I’m in the south so we have to use sod any tips on low cost lawn renovation for laying sod?
Good video! Stuff works but I hate the white it gives off on the weeds for 3 to 4 weeks. Now I just sit back & leave it up to the pros.
Surge is essentially T-zone or Speedzone in granular form. Good combination but granular is not nearly as effective as liquid; much more expensive as well. Tenacity is a great pre-emergent when seeding but definitely not the best post-emergent like the products listed above. Just get T-zone and you’re set across the board
I don’t think TZone will take care of crab grass so that’s where tenacity has its advantage.
@@aaronpitts6429 i would go quinclorac for crabgrass over tenacity. Tenacity will kill immature crabgrass but not past the 2-3 till stage
Your videos are great. What kind of spreader do you use?
Hey SC. Love the vids! Your new property is awesome. Please let me know if you want help with beneficial native plants? I can see some really beneficial beautiful species thriving up there.
Any suggestion for a different brand, or things to look for, if Andersons isn't available for purchase in Canada?
I have a clumping fescue dominated lawn. 13,000 sq. Feet. Should I just kill it and start over in the spring? Any info would be great. Been a sub for years and love the information you give us.
my yard is probably 85% weeds so the surge most likely would be best for me (based on your recommendation) however the seed i bought already has fertilizer. would you recommend using a different product or is it okay to use the surge first before seeding with what i’ve already purchased?
I just found your channel and have enjoyed watching your videos. Where we live, we deal with a terrible weed… it’s called bindweed or wild morning glory. I looked at the list of weeds that tenacity kills but this one is not listed. Would it be best to go with the Anderson Surge product first …looking for any help or recommendations. Thanks!
I sprayed Meso4SC before, using the right concentration and surfactant (Drexel Hum-AC 820 Humectant Surfactant) before, and it didn't do that much in terms of killing clover and crabgrass. I read that Meso4SC is the same as tenacity, so I'm wondering why I didn't get good results? Maybe the surfactant that I used is not the proper one? I'm not sure what to do anymore, as I can't get rid of clover and crabgrass on my lawn. Any ideas?
Mine has been attacked with Japanese still grass... Any ideas on how to get rid of that? It's a huge area manual is going to be very tough.
I'm in late March in the northeast and need to spot spray some Tenacity to control some weeds coming up in a new house. Is the best time to do this now in the early spring, or wait until more stuff blooms / comes up and do it in April or May?
How soon after spreading the weed and feed can you go and spray tenacity? Then how soon after that should you apply the grass seeds?
My house use well water for drinking. Would these products ok for that?
Question the blue dye will that stain anything that it gets on i.e. stone, driveway, harscape, etc? I was just wondering before I started to spray as I have weeds in cracks in the driveway, in some of the stone garden bed and patios and did not want to end up with blue spots where I sprayed. So was just wondering as then I can just avoid those specific areas and just use it in the yard proper.
Nice video! This is exactly what I needed to hear. BTW? Did you get rid of the Walker Mower you had?
Yes, while they are an amazing machine, they won't handle the extreme slopes I have at the edge of the lawn. You can see what I am using here, not sure this will be the final mower but its AWD and so far hasn't tipped yet! ruclips.net/video/HH2XpH7BgoQ/видео.html
When should pre emergent be applied? St agustine and Bermuda grass.
Hi Silver Cymbal - love the videos and purchased tenacity, Lazer, and surfactant and mixed as directed. The dye did not stick to the lawn at all, just rolled off into droplets. You could not tell where we had sprayed. We've tried twice now and no weeds have died. Could there be something wrong with our surfactant??
For some reason I have had to double up on the lazer lawn dye or else it doesn’t show.
If I have a lot of weeds but smaller yard can I just use tenacity all over instead of the Andersen product?
Yeah I believe so. He used the Anderson’s to cover a larger area of land
I have two questions: can it be used on lawns in the southeast? I know some broadleaf herbicides can’t, and I can’t find anything on the Amazon listing that says either way. Second, can it be purchased in a smaller bag? My yard isn’t large and spending $90 on such a big bag seems like a lot to try it out. Thanks in advance for any help, and thank you for all the great content over the years.
can you leave unused tenacity in your sprayer for storage and easy use for future applications?
I have lots of weeds and will be applying Tenacity. However I have a question regarding Mallow. Cheeseweed Mallow. How do I get rid of it? Cut down and spray or spray on the leaf itself? They're like 3 ft tall!!!
So can we do the weed control now and then oversees since fall is starting and if I do the weed control how long before I can seed? Thank you so much for the awesome videos!
Yes, fortunately these products will not hurt new seed at all. You could seed the next day, I am planning to overseed on Tuesday myself and will share a video soon after. The only thing these products cant be used on is new grass (sprayed on it) that has started growing for the first 6 weeks. But before that new seed is just fine.
Is it too late to put Tenacity down and then reseed ? 5a
Here’s maybe a dumb question. But what do you do with your sprayer if you have extra solution in it? Do you just keep it in there till next season and use it then?
Is weed and feed product okay to use in earlier season? early-mid march. I'm in the south on 2 acres and I'd say 85% weeds the rest is bermuda. Not sure what the best route is for this time of year to kill everything. I've used tenacity before on smaller property and it worked great, I just don't think it's practical/economical to use on 2 acres of almost all weeds. Any tips? Thanks!!
SC, I’m having a tough time with clover in my yard. Used Tenacity (1 tsp to 2 gals) and it did great on everything (other than the clover). Any tips to help with the clover?
I use “crossbow” because of the triclopyr in it. (Also has 2,4-d) Kills all the clover and ground ivy I have creeping in from neighbors .
I’m going to give this a try, thank you! BUT, how long before the dog and kids can go out in the lawn??? 😊
?
Might try the weed and feed, but can you loan me your $1,400 broadcast spreader for the weekend? Wow!
How do you protect other plants and trees adjacent to the lawn from getting nixed? I was thinking of just covering everything in cardboard for a couple days, but am curious if you have a particular method.
Great video! What season is best to do this whole process?
Thank you. The time is right now, you can still start now. Fall is best for the Northeast and later in September to October works as you get to warmer parts of the US
Will these products/chemicals work on Saint Augustine and Centipede grass lawns in Florida?
Does tenacity kill burmuda grass or zoysia? I heard you couldn't use if you had these grasses
