One sentence "may seem expensive but cheaper per gallon.". I also realized I've had to treat and retreat with box store concentrates so in reality cost way less. I also figured out from this video that the tall yellow grass overtaking the lawn is Nutsedge, checked labels and box store weed killer doesn't kill it, no wonder it's flourishing.

This year, the creeping charlie is all gone except around the flower beds they avoid spraying. I'm using Speedzone in a hand sprayer there and have gotten good control in these small areas. My infestation was pretty heavy a year ago so I guess I needed to be more patient to get rid of this pesky weed.

I have eliminated 99.9% of Charlie and 99% of sedge from 2/3 of an acre of lawn. I started hand picking the Charlie early each Spring and continued into the season until the ivy was gone. This took a LOT of walking the yard. (I’m retired by the way and have lots of time for this) Over the course of several years, Charlie is all but completely gone. I might find a few new ones each year but for the most part, it’s GONE. As for sedge, I hand pick it also in the same fashion. You have to grasp the plant down near the base to pull the whole plant out by the root. My next target is corn speedwell. I also eliminated dandelions the same way, using a weed puller. Tenacity works well and I’ve used it on creeping bentgrass with limited success. Much of it has remerged and I’ve given up on trying to stop it.

@griffmillerii1885 5 жыл бұрын

OK, I just made up a gallon of Tenacity/surfactant/dye and hit some spots in St. Augustine lawn in SE Texas. Now we wait. :^) I would have done it sooner (got my stuff about 3 weeks ago), but reading the directions, I need to do it in between waterings, and I'm having to water pretty much every day right now. I just bit my lip, turned off the sprinkler system, and put out the Tenacity. I hope it works without killing the grass, because down here, once it gets warm (basically March or April) we can't use pre-emergent anymore. I'll update here in a week. Wow, is Tenacity ever concentrated. I think with one bottle I've got a lifetime supply.

@griffmillerii1885 5 жыл бұрын

OK, the Tenacity is definitely working. Just about everywhere I sprayed it, the targeted weeds have turned white. Some took longer than others. It's a bit freaky how paper-white they are. I've since read that it's better if you apply Tenacity when it's not too hot (I forget the exact temperature threshold) so when I apply some more this weekend, I'm going to do it in the evening. I did notice that in the sunny areas of my lawn, the grass itself did pale a bit, so it was probably a bit too hot at the time. It's regularly in the high 90's and beyond where I live this time of year. So, this is great. I have something I can use post-emergent on my lawn for weed control. I use Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns in the early spring, which works well but I can't use it once it starts getting warm, which happens around March or April here. I suppose from now on I can keep using that pre-emergent or Tenacity, switching to just Tenacity post-emergent. I don't think I should use Tenacity in my beds in any case, but there I can continue to use Spectracide Weed and Grass Killer (like Roundup but a different chemical) if I'm careful about overspray. Only thing left is something to kill nutsedge in my beds - for that I want to try something called Sedgehammer. Has anyone tried that?

@griffmillerii1885 5 жыл бұрын

BTW, someone had asked if Tenacity is safe for bermuda grass, and I had promised I would report back what Tenacity did to the bermuda grass in my St. Augustine lawn (where bermuda grass is not wanted!), but I can't find where I wrote that. So, FWIW, it looks to me like Tenacity is killing the bermuda grass in my lawn, which is great for me, but not so good for people with bermuda grass lawns. I think Silver Cymbal posted somewhere in these comments a better product than Tenacity for bermuda grass lawns. HTH.

The syringe made this job aggravating and messy for me. Today is exactly 1 week after my first application and the weeds are turning white while the grass remains unaffected. I’m going to apply the 2nd treatment next week which should kill any weeds that were missed last time. GREAT stuff!

Excellent video. Our lawn is overloaded with creeping charlie. Not sure we have that much grass left. Can we reseed after we have treated? If so, when?

@stephensohasky4959 2 жыл бұрын

I have to give this a try. Last year I paid for an extra service. The hope was it would take care of creeping charlie etc. I had some effect but it's back. I will report back in a few months.

Super excited to try this. When dead, do you recommend to leave in lawn and allow grass to move in, or remove?

Great video, at the time of spraying what was your temperature and the month you sprayed tenacity? Your lawn looks great. Thanks

Great video. Just sprayed some Tenacity Tuesday myself. 2-4D is another great choice for Creeping Charlie if you aren't planning on seeding anytime soon. Where abouts in MA are you?

Hi i had question i'm gonna get a container of tenacity i have kentucky blue grass and i have in some spots of Crabgrass that are in a single blade form in the early stage! Can i spray the whole lawn just make sure i get all of the Crabgrass? Would that be ok or no thank you in advance.?

@SilverCymbal 5 жыл бұрын

I don’t recommend whole lawn spraying, it uses a lot of products and is too east to over apply and potentially cause damage. Do spot spraying like I did and if you want to see this done for an entire yard and how fast it is watch my other video where I turned my lawn around using Tenacity and some other great info I think you will like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLpnZq983bbNh6M.html

I haven't had too much luck with Tenacity in the transition zone where I have a mix of fescue, bluegrass and rye. It turns most of the grass white where it is sprayed. If it's not heat of the summer then some grass does recover after about a month. If I keep spraying it every so often, my grass is going to have white patches all summer long making it seem like the lawn is diseased. I wish it came in 1/4 size and cost bottle so people can try it out.

Sorry to hear that something doesn't sound right. Just be sure to use the surfactant (not soap) and check your mix but I have the same grass as you and it has worked really well. You will get somewhitening at times but you shouldn't get it everywhere. Also you could try a lesser tip on your sprayer.

Thank you for your video. I am very interested in using these products. I have a couple questions - do I need to clean my mulching mower blade the first few times after spraying, so-as not kill the grass? Does the dye permanently stain rock, or concrete? Thank you.

@SilverCymbal 5 жыл бұрын

No the dye won't cause any long term staining, if you get it on something you don't want it to it's gone witha few days to week. You don;t need to do any of that with yoru blades, just spray and watch the weeds go and mow as usual. Just dont mow for 2 days before or after application. Other than that always read the label but you are ready. Everything you need to be weed free: Tenacity Weed Control: amzn.to/2JM4APm - Surfactant: amzn.to/2Xz6dod - Dye/Colorant: amzn.to/2XRUT6V 2 Gallon Sprayer: amzn.to/2xBJP3k
