How to kill weeds in your lawn without killing the grass is a question commonly asked by lawn care enthusiasts. Weed control can be a full time job and really takes the fun out of your lawn care program. The weed control that I like best doesn't involve a weed spray or chemical like spectracide, roundup or image weed killer. The best long term weed control is to grow a healthy lawn and mow it regularly at the correct height for your grass type. This creates a natural weed control because the tight turf creates a situation where weeds have trouble competing with the lawn for the resources they need to grow.
The best way to immediately get rid of weeds without killing the grass in your lawn is to simply pull the weeds manually. That said, chemicals can help initially kill broadleaf weeds and other lawn problems like crabgrass.
Options for chemical weed control fall into 2 categories for application; liquid or granular. Both types of weed control products have their pros and cons. Liquid weed control products like Image weed killer or roundup work very quickly to kill weeds. The downside is that they are also much more likely to damage or even kill the grass which is what we don't want. I wouldn't use roundup on weeds within your lawn because it's a very powerful herbicide which WILL damage any grass near the weed being sprayed. Keep roundup for ornamental beds weeds growing in places like your sidewalk. Image weed killer works great for tough weeds like nutsedge but even it is hard on the nearby grass.
Granular products like Spectracide weed control work slower than the liquid versions but it is also much safer for the lawn. When it comes to herbicides you want to use as little as necessary to kill the weeds and nothing else. Granular weed control like Spectracide also contains Dithiopyr which is a pre-emergent to prevent new weeds from growing back once they're gone. Remember all we're using Spectracide for is to buy us time to grow a healthy lawn.

Good video, I've been taking care of my yard for over 35 years, and all of your statements were right on. I would also recommend against relying on Scott's Bonus s Weed and Feeed. It doesn't work and it's expensive. Years ago it did, but they keep weakening the fertilizer and weakening the weed killer. And so you have to use twice as much but not all at once or it'll kill the grass

Another great video Ron. Your recommendations regarding selective and non-selective herbicides are great. I see some of the questions and responses you're getting are specific to different geographical areas. Perhaps helpful to recommend to the audience to contact their local ag extension office for help in identifying proper timing of when to apply specific products. I've found the local Master Gardeners on staff are very helpful and can also make product recommendations for my area.

Great point Blake. Quite often the recommendations are on the product labels but I can definitely see how local knowledge would help you make more effective herbicide applications. Thanks for pointing it out.

Ron your videos are super informative. I'm in Georgia with about 9ksqft of Bermuda. About a month ago, I treat my completely dormant Bermuda with Prodamine and Image. Used a sprayer, followed your recommendations. ** Now , the thing is, there was Poa already hanging out in my lawn...so I'm sure the Prodamine soaked in but that stubborn grown tall PoAnna, just "ate it" ( ate that Image-I feel like, smh)** So last week I cut my lawn to down about 1 inch. I have thatch issues too, but that's another story ( smh)...I "Chopped them Po-Heads, right off!" But, guess what - they're back....waving Hi to me every time I step outside. I've read that Negate is a good herbicide for Po. I purchased the 1.5 oz bottle. I mixed it following the instructions from the manufacturer (Poored entire bottle into gallon of water for base. And I am set to mix 3 ounces of that per gallon per 1k..Cool) Now, my grass is still in dormant mode on many sections, except for Po-- he's fully grown and alive. There are some green bermuda patches here and there n my lawn... My question, should I wait until after full green up before hitting Po with that heavy Negate spot treatment and just keep on cutting lawn down to 1" every week? Or should I just hit the Po now even in this transition, spring up?

@RonHenry 3 года назад

Hi Art. I would wait until the lawn is greened up before applying the Negate. Be sure to also use a surfactant with it for best results. If you apply it now, you're likely to slow green up. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Hey Ron, I am not suggesting it for others, however I have used roundup on the tougher grassy weeds while my Bermuda was dormant. It did not harm my grass at all.

Ron Henry it was the grass and weed kill. I tried while the grass was growing one year and was completely upset all year long.

@RonHenry 4 года назад

Heya Julian. Given that you've recently made the investment in planting new Bermuda, I'd do my best to keep herbicides off the turf. Once the new grass is fully established, you can use Spectracide but until then, I'd just weed manually. I know it's a huge pain, but it's the safest option for the turf. It's what I did for my lawn when I overseeded.

Hi Ron. This is the second video that I'm watching. I gave a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button from the first video. Great content and love the delivery. I'm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the weeds were out in force this year. I like the information you provided and for full on lawn care and tackling the weeds, I'm going to try the third product you recommended. I'll see if I can get it from Home Depot first and if not, then Amazon. I was thinking to apply it in the spring; which the time they recommend putting down fertilizer. We do have fertilizer that is laid in the fall so to nourish the lawn through the winter and then early spring we fertilize again. So, what do you think? Thanks again and take care.

@RonHenry 3 года назад

Hi Stacey. You should hopefully be able to find the products shown at your local Home Depot. They're fairly common. Something else you may want to consider is pre-emergent. It's a special herbicide that's applied twice per year (spring and fall) that prevents the weeds from germinating in the first place. I have a video here that talks about different options and how to use it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p1sazlEXAXc.html Hope this helps. Really appreciate you watching.

Hi Mgz_ Once you kill the weeds, just start mowing your lawn regularly. That will get rid of the dead weeds and also stimulate new growth in the grass. If you'd like a good starter fertilizer for a recovering lawn, this is a great choice: golfcourselawn.store/products/12-12-12-starter-fertilizer-with-3-iron-and-bio-nite™-granular-lawn-fertilizer After the fertilizer application, just mow, mow and mow some more. Let me know if i can help with anything else. thanks so much for watching the content. I appreciate the support. 👍😎

Thirty years ago when we bought this house there were lots of weeds and the grass looked sick. First thing we did was get a soil test done. The previous owner had been using chem Lawn. The lawn was green but sick. There was no potash whatever. I put 0-0-60 down. Spent countless hours pulling Dandelions, and used Weed be Gone . Spiked airated like crazy. Limed like crazy as the PH was like 4. We applied Fleet Farm 27-7-7 granulated fertilizer with iron. I still take soil tests every other year. I try not to use pesticide. I've found Tenacity for spot weeding. I have the best lawn in town, at least that's what I've been told. Weeds don't like a thick healthy lawn.

@RonHenry 2 года назад

Completely agree fiddleguy28. One of the best weed controls is to grow a thick lawn. Weeds have a difficult time competing.

Hi Ron. I laid down a couple bags of spectracide Recently in my lawn to help with a crabgrass problem. The bag mentioned not being able to lay grass seed for 10 weeks. How soon have you tried to plant grass seed after using Spectracide. Your videos are really helpful. Thanks a lot!

@RonHenry 4 года назад

Heya Ryan. I would really wait the 10 weeks on the grass seed. Depending on which type of grass seed you're putting down it probably represents several hundred dollars. If you spread it before the 10 weeks is up, you'll likely get some germination but not as good as if you'd waited. If you want to still give it a go, I'd recommend doing a really good aeration of the lawn prior to spreading the seed. This will damage the pre-emergent barrier making it less effective against preventing germination. Does that make sense?

@spchief 4 года назад

That does make sense. I bought some Arden 15 seeds that I hoped to plant this year but I think 10 weeks probably takes me completely out of season for growing new grass. Is there anything that you recommend that I can do in the meantime that might be helpful for growing new grass using seed next year?

@RonHenry 4 года назад

Hi Ryan, I'd work on getting the soil as healthy as possible. So do a soil test assuming you haven't as yet and make the amendments to get the soil into primo shape. www.mysoiltesting.com/shop?aff=11 Again, you *can* overseed this year but I'd be sure to aerate heavily before doing so in order to make the pre emergent less effective. 👍😎

@MikeBee77 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, and I agree that RoundUp is super harsh, in fact it is harsh for the environment snd bad for your health so, I wouldn’t use that junky product at all, instead there are products like Avenger Weed Killer or Bonide Dead Weed Brew, to kill anything instead.

Great video, Ron. Quick question: I noticed that Spectracide Weedstop has a concentrated liquid formula as well as a hose sprayer version. Are these acceptable alternatives like the granular version, or do they have the same downsides as the liquid agents you discuss?

@RonHenry 2 года назад

Hi Arie. Yes, the liquid concentrates work well while not having to apply to wet grass like the granular. If getting rid of existing weeds is your main goal, I'd go with liquid vs granular. An alternative to Spectracide that's professional strength is this product: golfcourselawn.store/products/broadleaf-weed-control-triad-select-3-way-herbicide Hope this helps.

Thanks for this informational video! It is appreciated! Btw. Beautiful lawn!! P.S. I have an huge area on my driveway in the backyard that has been taken over by all different types of weeds (even those prickly ones) after the tree next door at a rental until has been cut down last year. This year the weeds have spread almost the entire width and I am about to use a weed puller and dig them up completely. I was gonna use a weed killer that last up to a year, but I don't want birds and squirrels to become sick and die from coming in contact with the area, so I was thinking of going the homemade vinegar and soap method and then pin down a heavy duty landscape weed barrier to hopefully help keep them from regrowing. Any tips at how to kill these off permanently? Or do you think because the tree stump is still there, the weeds will just continue to return every season?

Great video, Ron! I’ve recently used Image on my lawn as I’m just getting a good Bermuda lawn established. I’ve noticed some discoloration as you noted in the video. I’m curious how long this discoloration will last? Is this something I can mitigate with proper fertilization? Thanks. Take care!

@RonHenry 4 года назад

Heya Bailey. It will last about 1 week assuming that your turf is healthy. I hate that particular side effect of Image but the product really does work great against nutsedge. The big thing is to not over apply the product. Literally all you need is one pass over the nutsedge. No need to soak the area. Using a liquid fertilizer will probably help the lawn recover a bit faster. Granular takes longer to break down so by the time it starts working your turf will like have recovered anyways. A good liquid option is this: amzn.to/2WRaPrI It's very similar to Brandt Supreme Green product I apply in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uedc-v-lnbY.html Let me know if I can help with anything else! 😎👍

Hey Ron, great video as always I just got a house in Alabama. The yard is Bermuda grass and over run with a ton of weeds. I understand the importance of mowing regularly at the proper height to encourage healthy strong grass. Should I be mowing and then use the granular Spectracide? Or treat the lawn, wait the 2 weeks for the weeds to die, and then mow?

@RonHenry Год назад

Spray Spectracide and wait 2 days before mowing. Even better, spray Celsius. It's a better herbicide that Spectracide and can be used over a broader temperature range. golfcourselawn.store/products/celsius-wg-broadleaf-and-grassy-weed-control-for-warm-season-turf

@GoFastGator 4 года назад

While it’s not normal for sure, there are times I would recommend using RoundUp on weeds in a lawn. Especially Bermuda. Bermuda will self heal so quickly that for light invasions of notoriously nasty weeds, ie. Dallisgrass, a spot of round up painted onto a weed (rather than sprayed) is far safer and much less expensive than specialty selective herbicides or resorting to off-label use of something like MSMA. 2-3 weeks and what little damage you do to the Bermuda should be all healed up!

@RonHenry 4 года назад

You'd think that Brian But I watched my neighbor (not Alex) have dead spots of Bermuda that lasted the entire growing season from using RoundUp. Granted he did spray it onto the weeds but it just goes to show that Bermuda doesn't always recover quickly depending on what you hit it with.

@GoFastGator 4 года назад
