What do you guys do this time of year to get your yard weed free for next year?

others will reply, but I would suspect some type of granule as a pre-emerge. That said, it may be too early for next year and you would be applying now for the winter weeds. Then again in late winter for spring weeds.

Pre Emerge now for Winter annuals such as Poa, henbit etc... You are pushing the envolope on running late time in my oppinion so if you want you better do it now. Ive had my golf pre emerge apps down for about 2.5-3 weeks now

Joel,
I use Simazine (Princep 4l) as my Fall pre-emerge.
Then I use Pendimethalin (Prowl) as my Spring pre-emerge.

Wouldn't hurt to put lime out as well.

Simizine (Simtrol 4L) as fall pre-emergent, for existing weeds Celsius WP if the temps are up in 90's or above, if they are like they have been lately Three Way for post emergent.

You guys using pendamethlyn as your pre emerge should try spectacle. It's fairly new on the market and comes in flo and a WDG, but it will give you 5 months control. It's taken the golf market by storm and is the best out there for poa and crabgrass

Has anyone used the Hi-Yield weed granules as a pre-emerge with any success? I guess its similar to the Scott's Weed and Feed and I use the Scott's in my yard on stickers with great success, so thinking of trying the Hi-Yield in the garden for weed control.
