Lawn pre emergent time

[TexaRican]

Y'all facebook guys check out the Southern Lawn Syndicate facebook page. Formerly known as the Texas Lawn Nuts facebook page.

I wish you had not posted this. Been following for a week or so and now have a lawn inferiority complex. Looking at reel mowers and actually contemplating scalping my bermuda in this heat. The process....

I’m still fighting crab grass. Will laying down preemergant in a month and again in early spring knock it out?

Same here, not sure if its crabgrass or dallasgrass but going on a 3 year battle. I started hitting it with Roundup in the center, but its hit or miss on whether or not the full plant dies or not. I bought a gimicky grass puller gizmo and was not strong enough to pull the whole center core out like it claims.

too early still IMO...

Starting to see a couple brown patch spots popping up? Do guys have any secrets for that? I have put down granule fungicide twice already this year. Brown patch kicked my yards tail last year....

Thanks Joe

Are you sure it's brown patch and not grubs? I thought brown patch didn't show up until a little cooler temps hit.

You are correct. Just a reminder that it is right around the corner. I put mine out on September 8th last year and will probably do the same this year. Could even wait a little longer but you wait to long and you can miss the window.

Amazon truck just showed up. I got the bug for this stuff now. Waiting til Labor Day for this.

[emoji1787][emoji1787] it has cost me some money for **** sure. I wouldn't scalp this late. I scalped my back yard a month ago just to see how it would do... it was awesome. Going to level my yard in the spring. Just sprayed T Nex and chelated iron yesterday, curious to see how that works. Hopefully rain didn't wash it away.

I out first round of pre-emergent last week and will do it once more I’m about a month or so. Also hit it with a round on fertilizer over the weekend, hopefully rain soaked it in good last night/ this morning.

Nah, I was kidding about the scalp but it looks like that's the "in thing" on SLS. I'm very happy with most of my yard right now except for a portion in the back that I'll probably scrape and re-sod next spring. Got nice 419 for about 1/3rd of the back and regular bermuda in the rest of the back struggles. Funny thing is the same grass front and side (large corner lot) is some of the best on my block.

Anyone use The Andersons Crabgrass Preventer with 2.5% Balan. Just picked up a bag at my local feed store and it shows to treat poa annua.

Last winter Poa Annua took over my yard and I battled it all spring. Based on my research Po Annua starts to germinate when soil temps drop below 70 degrees. I plan to monitor soil temps and apply just before it hits 70.

I lay pre-emerge down every six weeks

We just discovered dove weed in our back yard. Looks like some fun stuff. NOT!

Is that zoysia?

Neil Sperry just said you have 7 days from today to put it out.
