Question for lawn gurus

Postby mshunter77 » Sun Aug 20, 2017 1:20 pm

Just moved into a new house. The yard has not been obviously not had much weed control done. Any point in starting to work it now or just wait until next season.

Now into fall is a great time to work on it. If u need to seed its better to do now (fall) than spring.

Get a cool day and hit it with some herbicide.

Never to early to clean it up.
If I don't do it, I ain't gettin nun.......So i'm doing it

I use Simazine (October I think) as my fall pre-emerge on Bermuda. Then Prowl (Ag name) before Spring.
Maybe you can check your PH now & put out lime now.

I've got a small yard, maybe 1/2 acre. Bought it 3 years ago and seem to have less and less Bermuda each year. :lol: Started trying to get it back this year but it's a losing battle so far. Gotta get her back in shape in the next year or two before we get ready to sell.

^ha...even a rose is considered a weed in the wrong setting.

we used to run a chisel plow 6 ways over bermuda patches in cotton fields in the off season and then burn it once dried and still had it just as bad in the following spring
