This is the reason I purchased a manual weeded to spot pull weeds in the summer instead of spraying herbicides. Great info Brian!

My neighbor should watch this. He’s tried twice now to painstakingly spot spray every weed (his lawn is at least 50% weeds if not more) in 90 and 100 degree heat. He also insists on irrigating daily. He’s to the “every other word is a cuss word” stage of frustration about why the weeds won’t die.

Your daughter is “the star” of this video

Great video! I am prepping for a fall renovation in my backyard and have killed off grass and weeds in high heat. However, in my front yard I am basically hand pulling weeds.

Adorable, you're a great dad. I also like the music. You're stepping up your game. Nice.

I always focus on not wanting to damage my lawn in the heat but very good point on how it's a waste of product to apply the weed killer when the weed doesn't take it up.

i have written down only to spray weeds between 50F to 80F, forgot to follow it, now have little dead patches all over my lawn. thinking of getting a weed torch to use in summer.

Can that same thing be said for warm season grass? I live in california i really only have some poa and clover in my grass, no broadleaf, I spray with spector for lawns and have no issues only the poa.

Well that's interesting. I have used that same product in early spring and have had really good results. Yeah, the weeds are popping up high fiveing each other all over. I have learned something interesting however. The front lawn is a mix of kbg, perennial rye and TTTF. The weeds in the front lawn are the most prolific. The rear lawn is 100% TTTF and there are very few weeds. Hmm..the thickness of the rear lawn is much denser than the front and I believe because of this the weeds don't get to compete. Any spot that is thin is where the weeds take opportunity. Even the spots of TTTF that are heat stressed and gone dormant are weed clear. All that being said since we can't mow weeds outside of the green grass, do you have any recommendations on yellow star thistle control? I've tried mowing it with a bagger, spraying it, tilling up the ground and spraying it, and this stuff just will not die. The plant dies away after the spray but will always come back. 🤦

JI have fallen into this trap af weeding NOW in summer heat. Thanks for helping me understand I need to wait. Question for you: The first weed that was most affected: What is the names(s) of that weed? I have it spreading in my lawn too with Rhizomes or Stolones (which ever!) So what is the name of this weed?

My lawn isn't damaged, but the weeds didn't die. I applied Tzone to broadleaf weeds 2 weeks ago because the label said to apply at least 3 weeks prior to seeding grass, and I'm planning a fall overseed with a KBG/fescue mix for the end of August. But since it's been so hot, I may have to wait until early September.

are there any videos on the channel on how you mow in, under and around all the stuff in the yard?

I can confirm that killing off weeds and the lawn for that matter is a very slow process when there is a drought scenario with 90+ temps. My first round of glyphosate was very effective and quick to work as I had applied a day after a good rain storm (in the evening out of the sun). I ended up with green stripes, hand watered a 'beam of water' directly into the living grass like a CNC machine, then followed up with another glyphosate app that evening. At another week later, the stripes are a still a very dull green instead of dead, so that uptake is very much slower at hot temps than when temps are cooler. The apps were needed though to stay on my front renovation schedule though, planned for Labor Day weekend.

On the weed killing subject. What can be used to keep Russian Thistle at bay or to kill them entirely though out the year?

I'd be curious that even if you applied some form of weed killer during summer that if you were to water that area, after its dried on of course, if it'll die off sooner. If its so hot, its also likely very dry and since the weed isn't growing and taking in the chemicals. Usually they'd be fried off in 2wks. But I'd agree that you'd probably do more harm than good applying something during dog days of summer and then repair that stressed or dead grass spot. I typically will spot spray with a pump sprayer or even just try pulling the thing out. Knot-weed is very annoying this time of year by me.

Interesting, I just used the concentrated version of this in a dial n sprayer and it killed my weeds in about a week. i sprayed when it cooled off for the day though. 90's during the day and tons of rain daily. Been a very wet flooding season for some reason this year I have always sprayed weeds in the summer and never had an issue killing them. I only use Ortho weed clear because it's the only product from the big box stores that works. I use round up 365 for all other areas and is the only product that kills the weeds and keeps them away for the whole year. I am pretty much the only person in the neighborhood that is weed free. I get everyones weed seeds blowing in my yard and drives me nuts. My lawn must be healthier this year because I've had minimal weeds. I have only sprayed roundup and a tiny section with weed clear in an area I'm expanding my zoysia here in Colorado

I used that exact product back in June was only in the 80s for temperature. It really browned out my yard. So disappointed. Not sure if grass its going to recover come fall. Its been a dry summer. Neighbors yards are green. They use a professional seevice.

I used the same stuff in May. No improvement for 3 weeks then June heat came and burned those spots on my lawn to a crisp.

Wonder what the results would be if you sprayed say around 8:00 p.m. or maybe 8:00 a.m.? I think the plants are still taking in nutrients they're just not doing it in the middle of the day,l ike you said when they're stressed.

Lawn is so stressed the weeds stand out. I just began to pick the spurge, knotweed and roadside aster. Ground is so dry they seem to come out whole with the roots.

I understand that the weedkiller is ineffective at high heat but my experience is if I leave the weeds alone, they spread like crazy - spurge being a typical example at this time of year which gets all over the place very quickly. If you let it go, by the time you get to September there's a lot of it in the lawn and now you apply the weedkiller you showed and yes it will kill the weeds but now you can't do the reseeding you need to do in September as you are advised to wait (a few weeks) after weedkiller application before putting new seed down. What's your perspective on that? I keep pulling the weeds (backbreaking as it is) and a bit of spot spraying so I don't lose those few weeks of new seed growth in September.

Lol she reminds me of my daughter..

She nailed looking cute!!!

Lol! As long as it looked goode from the street!

The best weed killer is a weed fork. Works at any temperature.

OMG, your daughter absolutely beautiful.

I just pull the weeds 🤷🏼‍♂️

didnt seem to damage your lawn thats what i would have been concerned about

Why just not pull out the weed down to the root?
