Thanks Allyn 🐐! Looking forward to new season!

When does the lawn season really kick into gear up there?

@@LawnInsider Should be early to mid April hopefully once soil temps get into the 50s🙂

Awesome Austin! I like knowing local folks follow the channel. I used the longer tip red one. It puts out a little larger water droplet, which makes it better for soil apps. Prodiamine is taken in through the root system, so you want the product to make it to the soil. Celsius is actually a foliar app, so it would be better to use the finer mist tip, but you’ll be fine. I’ve mixed both types of products and used that longer tip several times.

Thanks brother! Getting geared up for the season.

Yeah that was probably the coldest January we’ve had in awhile! Especially considering how mild we were in November and December.

I’ll probably scalp either the last week of February or the first week of March.

I’m not going to do anything special there. I just have to wait until the sun stays in the sky longer and it gets warmer. It’ll come back, just a little after the other part of the lawn. I know that’s not the exciting answer, but unfortunately it’s hard to replicate what some good sunlight will do for you!

@@LawnInsider I appreciate the answer!

Sorry I’m just now getting around to replying. Just until the grass is dry again, then you’ll want to water it in within 2 weeks.

We’ve gotten more brown since this video! We’ve had a cold start to the year. Nothing compared to up there I’m sure!

@@LawnInsider nothing like the 2021 freeze. Hope yall didn't have to go without power!

I have an older model that I’ve souped up a little bit but it’s only got one setting.

My label is in ounces, your order is right but if you’re putting out half the annual rate (.415 oz/1000) that would be about 12 grams I think.

Hey Leslie! So luckily my lawn is about 4,000 sq ft and I have a 4 gallon backpack sprayer. Since my lawn is relatively small, I filled my tank with water a few times and tested the pace I needed to walk in order to evenly apply those 4 gallons over the entire lawn. Once you do that a couple of times, you’ll start to get a feel for pacing. A good rule of thumb is to try and apply one gallon of product per 1000 sq ft of lawn. Every sprayer is a little different, but after you’ve made your first few trial runs, it’s a pretty shallow learning curve in my opinion!

I would go out and do a mock application with just water and calibrate it that way. That’s what I did with my backpack sprayer, just on a smaller scale.

@@LawnInsider awesome! Thanks for the advice. Love the content. Helps us newbies lol

Great question! I’ve used it for a few years now without any negative effects. My understanding is that Prodiamine only effects seeds/roots of plants that aren’t established yet. This is why you aren’t supposed to use it on new sod. My guess is your bermuda will continue to fill in and get more dense as you continue to cut it low.

If your sod is established, then it's fine. Meaning you can't see the lines anymore and you can't pull it up anywhere. If it's not established, you should hold off.

​@@LawnInsider I appreciate the reply! The middle is good but fence/foundation lines aren't yet established I'd say. Thanks for making your vids btw, I'm also in central Texas between Austin and SA and they've been helpful :)

You would use 1 lb in 25 gallons of water.

It depends on where you are, but it wouldn’t hurt you to apply the Prodiamine now. If you’re having average soil temps around 55° it’s time to apply the pre-em.

@@LawnInsider I appreciate the reply and the helpful information.

Usually it’s a lot cheaper going liquid, but in this case, not so much. It is a little cheaper per application, but not significantly. So long story short, because I already had the product haha

@@LawnInsider oh nice! Thanks for the great quick answer! I’m about to be doing the same thing here in NC so thanks for the good info!

You can’t go wrong either way! Whatever works best for everyone’s schedule/pocketbooks.

I have an older model Ryobi 4 Gallon Backpack Sprayer. It’s part of their 18V system.

I sure do! I apply half of the max rate twice. Once in spring and once in fall.
