Joseph Strattard the round up will penetrate down into the roots to full kill it off. Digging it up doesn’t always ensure you get it all. By applying round up, you are forcing the chemical down into the roots to kill it deep.
Great job, great video. My lawn has clumping tall fescue and quack grass pretty much scattered throughout. Is that a situation or any pretty much have to nuke it?
$100,000.00 to anyone that can tell me how to kill creeping Fescue (not tall fescue) without harming the grass around it. I will gladly pay this amount and more because I will make Billions off the product.
What can you recommend for a lawn that has lots of tuffs of grass all over the lawn? There Are lots in our backyard and starting to show up in the front. I would rather not use chemicals as I have kids on my lawn every day. It looks so bumpy unpleasant to look at.
You can remove it whenever you feel like it! I prefer in August or September so I can grow need seeds in the Fall. I killed all my Kentucky blue grass and put in turf type tall fescue in Michigan.
This looks OTT to me. You only need to carefully spray the Round Up on the leaves, which are then absorbed into the root system, killing it. But I agree with just going out and replacing the area with turf is far more practical and will work. Reseeding is best done in the fall/autumn.
First of all thanks for the video. As far as nutsedge or killinga. PLEASE DONT PULL IT. Only makes it worse use sledgehammer works wonderful no more nutsedge. Another fix I’ve found. Don’t just go spray a bunch of chemicals first find out what the weed is and do a little research then one you know what it is then you know how to treat it. One weed one of the most important that has taken me many years and lots of money we need to discuss further called common Bermuda grass or wiregrass. Here is a list of selective herbicides that I have found to control it ORNAMEC with Aqua Zorb Fluazifop-p-butyl Kills Bermuda grass/weeds but won't harm the fescue. Only kills Bermuda when leaves are green in the warm season or actively growing months Aqua Zorb is a (surfactant) which makes it stick to leaves. Baby shampoo works the same. Surfactant. Turflon ester does same as ORNAMEC cheaper price Fusillade 2 & Turflon works well too for Bermuda treatment Bayer makes a product called Bermudagrass control for lawns easy to use just hook to garden hose and spray just make sure it’s during warm months when it’s actively growing. BNSF Makes a product called PYLEX which works great however it is expensive would recommend if you can afford it. You can use glyphosate/Roundup if you are doing a yard renovation or planning on putting a piece of sod down however here again make sure you spray during active growing season or none of these products will get down to the root spraying during dormant season colder weather will only result in wasting time and money and applying product where you don’t need it. As far as weed control in your lawn I have found the easiest way is to use Scott’s Weed-B-Gone garden hose may take several applications but you will get there. As far as fertilizer goes I would recommend malorganite for a safe and cheap fertilizer to apply anytime with great results. If you core aerate in the fall and oversees with a high quality turf type fescue or high quality grass seed your on your way to a beautiful lawn in the spring core aerate and over seed goes hand in hand in the fall. A few last tips I’ve learned over the years. Don't leave any leafs on the lawn because they don't break down good in the soil causing future problems. Spot treat weeds NO blanket granulated weed and feed. Your paying from product that you don't use and spreading chemicals you don't need. Spot treat weeds that's what the Scott's professionals do Leaving fertilizer to do fertilizer work. Getting just the weed that needs the treatment.
