That was an awesome demo on surfactants. Always better to have actual usage shown for comparison. Thanks!
As someone coming from coolsesson land down to warm season land, this is beyond valuable info to keep a nice lawn
Alan, your grass is looking amazing again!
thank you!
Your Videos are always informative! Thank you!
Just recently did my first application of Image on my Bahia lawn. I also made a cheat sheet for mixing different applications for our other lawn, which is St. Augustine. I wanted to thank you for the recommendation, it seems to be doing the trick and I look forward to lessening the weed pressure on our new lawn.
So great to have a new video. Thanks for the information.
TY Alan very informative as always. Appreciate your knowledge and professionalism....BOOM..
I’m sold. Hybrid Bermuda owner here. About to jump on the yard mastery sprayer and this Celsius combo.
Your videos are great. Subscribed. Orlando area here. I just replaced my lawn last week (13,000 sq feet) with ProVista. I was tired of fighting the 5 year loosing battle the previous homeowners had here of Augistine and like 4 other mixed varieties plus 40 percent weeds and all sorts of pest issues. The cocktails of professional weed chemicals worked from time to time but the war was ultimately going to be lost. This time, I'm going to outsource the weed and pest control at least for a year or two. If i need to spot, I'm going to pull out the tactical nukes (glyophosphate).
Just put this down last week. I love this combo. I but the larger sizes so I always have some.
Good stuff Al!!! Keep on keeping on brother
I been using a Celsius and halosulfuron-methyl combo on St Augustine for several years now, it's my go to herbicide. It's slow but thorough, depending on the temperature it can take up to three weeks before signs of control appear for certain weeds. I highly recommend it. Celsius 2.4g /1k sqft and halosulfuron-methyl 0.9 g/1k sqft with NIS 0.5 fl oz /1k sqft
I used Celsius for the first time about a month ago (purchased from the LCN). I ended us using the lower rate. But since my area was not as large, I poured the granules out and made a "guardrail" like as if it were booger sugar, and then cut that in 1/2. Used the 1/2 packet to mix it into 2gal and sprayed. For the the tougher weeds, last week I did a second spot spray with the left over in my tank. So far it has been killing all of the weeds in my yard, minus the fire weed. The fire weed I will need to glove up and pull; glyphosate isn't even a guarantee on fire weed.
Excellent video and explanation!
I just took my new yardmastery sprayer for I drive. A couple things that could make it a bit more useful. The screws and nuts that hold the spray gun in place. Have them dimple the plastic or hot glue or just sticky tape the nuts in place. Once they pop out during assembly they are gone.
Include a purple 110 fan spray tip for those of us that can no longer gallop across the lawn. Same with a red flood jet tip.
Lastly if you ever remold the body, put a bigger depression for the pickup tube. No matter how much I tip a turn it there is always a cup or so of liquid left behind.
Putting those retaining nuts on the other side would have made it much easier to get to the screw head.
Great product.
✌️
Just want to mention muck (rubber calf high) boots and walking backwards hurts your back but keeps the chemical off of you. Great advice yet again al, love your stuff! I'm around this stuff all day folks, so don't worry about what I said at the beginning. You're doing a few treatments a year, we're doing 12 a day lol. Good info though Al!
Celsius XTRA…has sedgehanmer in it.
Just used my YardMastery backpack sprayer, love it
The only problem I have with mixing them is spraying that mixture around ornamental grasses. The sedge killers seem to hit them too.
Thanks That’s is a great sprayer
I just did an app right now full coverage on my two Parkway strips that seem to get hit the worst with weeds and spot sprayed the rest of my yard. Excited and nervous first time ever ever using this product.
that's why I call it "spraying and praying" ha ha!
Much appreciated video
Yes, just did my yard today
I have a cool season lawn in northern Illinois. I’ve already mowed twice this spring. Bulbs have been popping out of the garden beds for a few weeks. I even saw a couple dandelions poking their heads out of my lawn the other day. Full blown lawn season will be here very quickly.
Yup. Here in the PNW things are starting up. Mowed my lawn last week and about 4 weeks before that. Definitely have dandelions but nothing popping up. I think I have some POA going to seed. Thaaaat sucks.
Good lord - I am in SW Ohio and I don't know anyone who has mowed and the majority of the lawns are serviced and have been serviced once.
Im in south Fl and I use image herbicide on my Spf30 hybrid Kentucky bluegrass
Any updates on the Pro Vista in the back yard? Celsius is my go to down here in West Palm.
You should look at the Petratools cart sprayer. Really presents an enjoyable experience when spraying. No need to have that weight on your back.
6:10 Pardon?? 🤣
😂😂
Good catch
A new one!! Today is scalping day. No cigar to go with my celebration though
I like your content that’s why I am wondering if you could recommend someone that makes videos for cool grass.
I have some really good training that will help you with your cool season grass. It's at YardCareBootCamp.com and if you use code "RUclips" at checkout, it's only $7. It's the closest thing you can get to having me personally coach you.
Do ya’ll have Dallis grass in Florida? Seems like pre-emergent does beat it down some (my yard has less than the neighbors) but it keeps coming back. I hate having to dig it up every year.
Pray for us in houston. We had a rough summer and a freeze.
when is the YM backpack sprayer going on sale?
Purple bottom was my nickname in college 😂❤
Quick question, do you mulch or bag clippings after blanketing with Celsius or other herbicide?
@alan - thanks for your informative videos. Quick question for you. I have a fair amount of weeds in certain areas of my Centipede grass lawn. Would you recommend me using Post-Emergent weed killer first and overfeeding during the Summer or Fall? Or would you recommend me overseeding this year and tackling weeds next year?
If spot-spraying - does this change the ratio when mixing the formula since you will be attacking smaller amount of turf vs blanket spraying?
My grandparents have zoysia but I can’t seem to find a good seed online, any advice? I bought them a darker variety plug set, $60 of empire zoysia. Here in at Louis it doesn’t grow every long. I’m planning on top dressing to fill in some low spots
Any links to a great deal on the mastery sprayer. Its a lil pricey . Thanks for the great video.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on that new EGO tractor. Looking to get one very soon.
i mowed with it the other day, it cuts very well. Full review will be soon.
@@Thelawncarenut awesome thank you. Glad to hear
Y'all are lucky. I've pretty much given up on my lawn. Did a 100 % cultivation last year. Mixed in compost, raked out all of the debris, planted new grass, pre-emergent, post emergent. weed and feed, weekly irrigation, the whole works. The lawn looked beautiful all season. Come out ready to get at it this spring and the weeds have taken over 100%. I'm not going to be forking out another $10,000, every year, if I have this to look forward to.
Don’t give up! Weeds are bad all over for some reason this year. Follow the advice from Allyn and take back your lawn.
It's strange for weeds to grow over winter in cool season lawns unless you are pretty far south. Where do you live?
Not sure where you are located but winter weeds / weeds in general are pretty bad in much of the Northeast this season. I live on the NY state / NJ border and we had a very mild winter , wasn't super cold for long stretches and really only a handful of snowstorms , most of which not much accumulation. My lawn is still mostly dormant and when i went to apply pre-emergent a week or so ago , already saw some germinating weeds in the lawn. Not too bad but more than usual for this time and my mulch beds are loaded with weeds more than ever coming out of winter. Some of my neighbors' lawns have quite a bit of weeds already. Again not sure where you are located but I have family in NJ , NY and PA and most are dealing with the same due to the mild winter.
Follow Allyn's tips and advice , do an application using the professional weed control products and it will knock the majority of the weed pressure back tremendously. Sounds like you just need an earlier than usual selective herbicide application. When I use pre-emergent I usually don't have to even spot spray weeds in the lawn until late April / early May but i am going to need to do an earlier one myself as well.
LCN Love Your Content. I live in a county that bans all EPA Registered Herbicides. Do you have any suggestions for containing the weeds in a cool season lawn?
Hand pull. There are herbicides that use fhedta, but I haven’t found them very effective.
Hey Alan, great content and a lot of useful information. I recently moved and want to start my lawn with Zyosia from seed. Do you have any reputable companies that sell various varieties of zyosia grass. I checked your website, but couldn't find any zyosia seeds.
thanks.
it difficult to find zoysia seed. I don't know anyone that sells it currently, sorry.
I understand way even coverage is optimal, but I can't help but wonder, how dish soap as a detergent, negates or worstens how the herbicide gets absorbs into the plant?
hey allyn (aka hairy nightshade)- great vid. unrelated but wanted to ask what landscape edging you use. doesn’t look like anything the big boxes carry. thanks!
it's a custom poured curb - they use a machine called "Lil Bubba".
Great info!
Would it help to dissolve WDGs in a cup before adding it to the tank?
You could do that for sure.
Thanks for the info! I’m wondering when i can put down fertilizer and fungicide on newly laid saint aug sod. I’m getting a lot of contradicting answers. Any help would be appreciated, I’ve watched a lot of your videos but haven’t come across an answer to that
yep you can apply both on the same day and water them in.
Allyn, I'm right by you in Bradenton, and I've really started to try to get my lawn back, but I'm afraid it is too far gone. When do you make the call to start over and lay sod? The closer I look at it, the more it seems like I barely have St. Augustine left. The backyard is bahiiiiiiia and it is even more sad. Please help
For a newbie, can you use the dye additive so you don't overspray?
Thanks, Allyn. Informative and helpful as always. I just put down Celsius a few weeks ago. Will likely need another application. Wondering if in the meantime it could be helpful to put down some atrazine to help control the Bermuda in my St Aug. Any thoughts? (Southeast Louisiana)
atrazine won't kill bermuda in St Augustine so I'd just save it for another time
@@Thelawncarenut copy that. thank you
Always a good day when the VERY beginning has a Bahia grass call out....Quick question. When you spray do you use the hi or low speed on the Yard Mastery sprayer?
At 14:15 he says he's using the low setting.
low setting is all you need
is that celsius packet in stock anywhere? *edit* was able to find it on amazon
Mmmmm, smells like saving baby ducks!
I was wanting to see those grass plugs progression lol
I'll get an update in next weekend for sure. I had a lot of weeds in there I sprayed so Ill show that progress too.
Do you ever use surfactant with your RGS and the other lawn spray products?
Usually weed control is the only thing I use surfactants for. RGS needs to be watered in so there would be no need for a surfactant there.
Hey Allen,
NW IN person here. Any thoughts on how the insecticides will affect animals in the house, especially cats and birds? As well as products used inside the house?
Thanks
here is an article I wrote on pesticides that should help clarify thelawncarenut.com/blogs/news/are-lawn-chemicals-safe
How do I eradicate Yellow Celandine in Massachusetts
I don't ask questions much at all- Did you post the link for us with lowly cool season grasses? Maybe I missed it??
here is the video (I forgot to post it) ruclips.net/video/1tnEzjL-fIs/видео.html
Just wondering, I'm a nooby.. i thought celsius is supposed to be spot sprayed and not blanket sprayed? Also, i have a good patch of weeds that most likely need to be blanket sprayed, would that be ok? Would it kill my barmuda grass though? Really appreciate your thoughts and knowledge.
you can spot spray, zone spray or blanket spray with it. These methods are all mentioned on the label. So for your spot with a lot of weeds, that would be a zone spray. And it will not kill your bermuda grass - just be sure it's actively growing and not dormant when you apply, all good.
Need some sort of a database with current weeds in an area (I’m in North Texas with St Augustine) and a chart that shows what kills what… I try using the Picture This app and that seems to be hit and miss and then trying to go thru my 6 products I have on had to see what’s gonna kill what is a bit of a beating. I don’t have everything memorized and I have Atrazine, Blind Side, Brush Tox, Ortho Ground Clear 😂, and some other random box store post emergent stuff.
I want to apply this weekend
I live in Saint Augustine would this be right time of year? It will be dry and highs of 80 this weekend
yes, excellent timing right now
Allyn getting prepped to throw down pre-emergent here in PA. Got your lawn care app, but wondering if there is a way to access the previous 5 to 7 days to determine if there is a stretch of temps from 51 to 55. Thanks
Cannot purchase Celsius packs in California, do you have any other recommendations? Thank you.
Yeah, leave commiefornia lol.
When will the Celsius be available again in the store?
Later this week
Any tips to stop gophers before they pop up
Any idea when the Celsius will be back in stock?
late this week
Are there any concerns with trees or other plants nearby when using the blanket spraying method with this product?
yes for sure, you have to be careful of drift. You also want to stay away from the base of sensitive plants.
Thank you! As a novice to lawn care in South Texas, your videos are a great instructional tool for me. 👍👍
Allyn is there a production back up with the stress blend? I ordered some last week and I got an email Monday saying it’s on its way but when I look at the tracking number it shows it still hasn’t left South Carolina
hey Allan, no backups. Everything ships next day. If you ordered Friday then it will ship Monday.
@@Thelawncarenut no worries I just received it last night for some reason the tracking # wasn’t updating! Thank you so much you’re the boss 👊🏼
What is the best for crab grass on saint Augustine
I would make sure you ID what it actually is first. A lot of grassy weeds in Florida look like "crabgrass" but they aren't. If you reach out to your county extension office, they can help with proper weed ID. Once you know what it is, then you can choose the right product to go after it.
@@Thelawncarenut thank you for the advice. Will do
What would be the next step after spraying this application? Fertilize how many days after?
You could fertilize a week or so later, no problem. It won't interfere with the weed control results. I'm due very soon myself.
@Thelawncarenut thanks! You've been a huge help learning about our florida lawns. Also I've said this before but I commend the work you do to bring the best foot forward for the motorsports community by maintaining the freedom factory!
Good video, bro. You need to move up to the cool zone, where all the cool people live. Warm season does not look good, imo.
Love the videos, keep up the good work. PS. water is not wet.
Yessir gonna go mid rate. Don’t wanna blow my load early in the season and have the neighbors laughing at me cus my lawn is all raggedy. 6:20
Is there still time to throw some Prodiamine or is it late already?
Depends on your soil temp trend, when it gets close to 55 degrees you want to apply it.
If you are in Florida, you are still in the window for prodiamine. Get it down quick!
I live in Ohio. Can I use it on my lawn?
no this is for southern lawns
I also wear mask. I dont want to breath any of the mist when spraying
Save the ducks!🦆😆
1st
Dam lol
Pick-the-weeds-by-HAND!
Be careful Dawn changes the PH and cause certain weeds to grow larger instead of a proper surfactant.also try to walk backwards when doing a blanket app and use a blue tracker to avoid over application. Tips I’ve learned by experimenting hope they help someone
I refuse to cheat on my cool season grass!!! ...iam out ✌🏼
😂
Man i wanted to get this stuff buttttttt your sold out :(
restocked later this week!
