@brad munger Don't know if you have your answer, but the pre-emergent only works to prevent seeds from emerging (maybe the name makes more sense) - dandelion and other from seed weeds. You should spot spray for weeds here and there or, as I used to call it, blanket spray (like the hose end bottle) with a "post-emergent" spray if you have a field of dandelions. ****But if you have reseeded or over-seeded, make certain to read the label. Spraying new emerging grass seedlings with selective post emergent herbicide can stress your new seeds and wipe them out even though it's not labeled to do that.

For Pacific Northwesterners, I've used 3 of the products shown in this video, on a lawn that is primarily tall fescue with some ryegrass and kentucky blue blended in (multiple varieties of each). I've had best results with the Spectracide product (quickest and most effective weed killing with least damage to grass). The difference between the three was fairly minor, to be honest, but enough to notice. Just putting it out there in case you're making a decision about which to go with.

Fun fact: Dandelions were first brought to North America to be used as a food crop. You can use them to make coffee, tea, and a host of foods, and dandelion greens taste very similar to other vegetable greens (So long as they're fresh) and the flower is quite healthy for you and also looks nice (to me at least). I completely realize this makes me weird, but I'd rather have a yard full of dandelion flowers than grass, because at least you can eat the dandelions.

I live in southern MN and sprayed weed b gon on 5/3/20, 2 oz/gallon. Then it got cold again, 30-50 F. A bunch are dying but a bunch survived. The creeping charlie doesn't seem too phased. I bought this house in fall 2018. Last year I paid a local landscaper to spray, aerate, and reseed but they suck. My neighbors are all rentals and my house was a rental, mowed by the landscaper I hired. This year I made a deal with my south neighbor to mow her lawn, set at 3.25 inches, and spray it to keep weeds from creeping back to mine. Anyone hit it again after 30 days like the bottle says and use a 4 oz dose the 2nd time? I bought some 20-0-2 liquid I'll spray when my newly seeded areas grow and get mowed a couple times. I'm in an uphill battle. Should I rotate herbicides or stick with 2 sprays/year of weed b gon? Thanx in advance.

For spraying, if you want to be super specific about application, there are foam applicators that you can attach to your sprayer nozzle (slide on and fixes with a rubber band). You spray a little to saturate the foam, then wipe the product onto the weed. I've had pretty good results with this. It completely eliminates overspray or wind carrying your product onto plants you want to keep it away from.

He specifically discusses glyphosate and making sure it is not in the product you purchase. Neonicotinoids are an insecticide. There would be little benefit to including an insecticide in a selective herbicide that is most likely going to be used to spot spray.

For manually pulling dandelions (and other tap root weeds): first, get them as early as possible - the longer you wait, the deeper the tap root goes. Second, the trick is to loosen the soil around the tap root as much as possible. You can use almost anything to do this, from a Hori knife to a screwdriver, to even a butter knife (yes). Drive your tool of choice straight down (repeat - straight down) into the soil, about 1-2" away from the center of the plant, and to a depth of at least 4" (6" is even better), then pry the handle of the tool toward (repeat - toward) the center of the weed. This will push the blade end away from the root, effectively loosening the soil without risking damaging the tap root. Third, repeat this until you have worked your way in a full circle around the weed. Fourth, drive your fingers down 1-2" into the soil, using the holes you just made, and grasp the tap root itself below the top of the soil. Don't squeeze too hard and slowly (repeat - slowly) pull the tap root out. Once you have it all out, knock as much soil off as possible into/around the hole you just made. Congratulations, that weed is history and you just aerated a tiny section of your lawn. Note: if you don't get the entirety of the tap root, don't worry, just make a mental note. It will take a long time for that weed to grow back, but when it does, remember that you need to go deeper next time with the tool.

Remember that dandelions are serving a purpose for your soil. Now, that doesn’t mean that you need to leave them (I do so long as they aren’t so bad) but if you understand the purpose it can help manage them better. First, dandelions de-compact soil. Second, they pull deep soil nutrients up, specifically calcium. There are other benefits, but if you can keep that in mind, and of course, keep the lawn thick, you can reduce your dependence on herbicide products.

On March 16th, I removed the bulk of weeds from my lawn by hand and purchased again the Scotts Thick Lawn product. The next day I spread the seed mixture only to see no germination to date. I believe it’s due to the cool climate. I really wound like to learn the proper way to seed as well as prepare the lawn for various seasons.

The first thing you want to do before any spraying is to go out and pull off as may seed heads as possible. Even the tightest of them that haven't opened yet. It is essential. Crucial. Imperative. Each dandilion seed head has between 54 and 172 seeds per head. While it likely would be better for them to open and allow bees and the like to polinate them naturally it is not ecessary for them to do so. Dandilions and their heads don't need to open to produce viable seeds because much of the time they self polinate. All those sprays do is kill green growing parts of a plant. Much of the time they kill plants by accelerating their growth. Removing seed heads will force a dandilion to put its' energy into vegatative production and help it die off. The seeds are NOT green and or growing. They live dormantly through most sprays. In fact I think seed production is assisted by sprays although I've no scentfic background to prove that. Why do I always have dandilons after having a spray company for the last 5 years? They left seeds heads on. The hundred dandlions that were on your lawn each with 54-172 seeds had the potential to become 5400-17,200 plants. 100%, before any spraying of any plant go out and remove any and all seed heads or don't bother.

First time using it this spring I added some extra water to the sprayer after I was done, grabbed a couple of empty soda bottles, filled those until the sprayer was empty and dropped them off at our local hazardous waste disposal site. You appear to be quite deliberate and thorough so I was curious if you had different or better strategy in general for dealing with leftover spray.

Ryan, on my lawn renovation (reseeeded in fall) I over did it with tenacity when i did the 2nd spray (2 weeks after the first) i must have mixed a little too much and now i have patches of my tall fescue that are white. if the grass is just white and not brown, it should come back right? (maybe stunting it isnt too bad because i did an overseed at the same time). some of the grass has some light green at the base but some of the grass is mostly white.... sad too because my lawn was looking great!

It will absolutely come back. Temporary bleaching for fescue is a common side effect.

I'm pulling the flowers when they're yellow before they spore. Spot spraying with %100 vinegar. Popping them out with that stand up weeder thing that you step on. We'll see if that works?

How about we leave the dandelions alone because the bees and other pollinators like them? Then you can remove them later once more things are in bloom.

Sorry If I asked this before somewhere but, with a weed killer like these, how soon can you seed or overseed new lawns. all the online details or specs don't specify if you can use it while seeding or how long I would need to wait before putting seed down and covering it with a blanket. Thanks for all you've done to keep us informed. I really am in a pickel becasue of the half acre that's on a steep hill that's been plagued with weeds and dandilions of all sorts, I'm really hoping I can get something down before the heat really sets in for me in New Hampshire.

Each product should have something on the label about seeding but generally it's 3-4 weeks after spraying

Hey Ryan, you know I’m a fan, but there are some gotchas to watch out for with these products. If you use any of them you need to keep those grass clippings out of your garden for several weeks after, and maybe longer. Also, in hot weather, these products and especially ester based products will drift, killing flowers and vegetables even in a neighboring yard! Believe me, I’ve seen it happen. I’m not saying not to use them, but use them wisely.

Hate to admit it but I am one of those people that accidentally grabbed a weed and grass killer and spot treated my lawn. The next morning we get up my son looks out the window and asks why our lawn is polkadotted LOL! I literally almost passed out as I had round yellow polkadots covering a lot of the lawn. I actually found some spray paint for grass online for people who have dogs and damaged areas so I absolutely bought that and touched up the spot while I waited for them to heal up and it actually worked. So yes, always read the labels! 🤦♂️

I just reseeded my lawn yesterday and applied a starter fertilizer with mesotrine in it. I’m sure in a month or two weeds are going to be growing in with the new grass. So what would be the next step in fertilizers to put? I don’t want to put something and kill off the new grass.

I ended up getting some T zone and that stuff destroys weeds within a few days. It's probably similar to what you used because it's ester based as well. Weed B gone can take awhile or may need a second application in my experience even with dandelions.

My large side yard is 1/5 dandelions. I sprayed with the type that attached to the hose. They wilted well. I plan on buying the Greenworks dethatcher. Should I just reseed then to help new grass grown where all the dandelions are. They had the long stems when when I mowed seemed to just lay over. they all didn't get cut well.

I’m trying to renovate my backyard, but is covered in all kinds of different weeds. I’ve tried pulling them out by hand but there’s just too many. I want to spray roundup, but I have dogs. How would you recommend going about spraying with dogs.
