Is Ortho Weed-B-Gon a pre-emergent?
Comments (2)Thank you, that's what I thought but just wanted to confirm it....See MoreCan Weed-B-Gon turn a lawn yellow?
Comments (7)bpgreen - Im not sure what kind of grass I have but I know its not all the same type....some areas are much thicker & more dense that other parts of the lawn and its usually the thick/dense area that gets taller faster and thus alerts me that its time to mow. I purchased the home only four years ago and have never planted any grass seed myself (I bought the house from a very elderly lady that I doubt did any grass seed planting herself). I dont know how many sqft the bottle covered but I remember that it was a 32 oz bottle. I threw the bottle away after I had finished the application but I just did an internet search for a use & directions label and found something that said 6.4fl oz per 1000sqft. The area I sprayed measures about 20'x50' on one side of the walkway and maybe 30'x50' on the other side (looks like I may have applied twice as much as I should have, if the use & directions label I found online is the correct one). Any suggestions on what I can do to "save" the grass if it turns out I over-applied? texasweed - The grass is at least four year old, does that take it out of the "young" grass category? Also, Im not sure if this might help with a diagnosis but......up until this past week, Cincinnati has had a steady flow of rainfall over the past several weeks (at least 2-3 days a week) with temperatures around the mid to upper 60's. However, this past week there was ZERO rain and the temps got up into the low 80's....See MoreWeed-B-Gone killed my lawn
Comments (13)I have been a schlub before, I know what that feels like. It is always self-inflicted. Yes, temps in the upper 90's after a "more is better" application of Weed B Gon on cool-season turf will not only turn your turf into toast, it will turn you into a schlub. And more is better? Lol...how did that turn out for you? Been there, done that. Anyway, I'm not advising this, but if you want to try it, spot spray the weeds with WBG at the label rate. If you get any on your grass, and you probably will, expect to see the same results from 2 years ago on any grass that gets hit with the herbicide. Maybe you'll get lucky with a timely shot of cooler weather. Do not water for 24 hours after the application if you want it to be fully effective. If possible, apply early in the morning....See MoreAny liquid weed/feed or just 'Weed' for Floratam??
Comments (10)This one should work. Safe for floratam. Hose end sprayer. http://www.ortho.com/smg/goprod/ortho-weed-b-gon-weed-killer/prod11360002?locale=en_US More expensive that is also safe for floratam. Out of stock here but available elsewhere. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/celsius-wg-herbicide-p-1923.html Don't worry about the mediocre reviews for the Ortho product. Most folks don't bother to read the label and then misapply. I've used Weed B Gon products with great success. It's more about the ingredients than the brand and proper application....See Morekimmq
