Preemergent......I am researching and will hopefully be successful when I apply spring, 2025. I would prefer to use liquid as that is easy for me and not confident enough to use granular and might burn my lawn. Can you please provide the steps I should take. I know timing is important and will purchase a soil themometer, then get to work. Thanks.

Why are you using the yellow top vs the orange top?
@LawnAmateur
@LawnAmateur Күн бұрын
@XORGNMN This was for demonstration because alot of people can't get the orange top where they live. So I wanted to show that the yellow top works also. But I prefer the orange top because it handles crabgrass and the yellow top doesn't.

@LawnAmateur

Don't apply seed after pre emergent. If you plan to overseed, do the overseed first and make sure the grass establishes a strong root system first then but down the pre emergent.

I just bought my 1st house and never learned how to maintain weeds by my parents. I just mowed for them as a teenager. Anyway, my lawn is getting out of control with clovers and other weed types so I'm worried and stressing my HoA will eventually say something. I've sprayed with Round-up safe for grass type (I have St Augustine) and manually pulled them and both seem to be working as they are turning yellow after one application 3 days ago. However, the spots I manually pulled now have dead grass spots. Do you think placing plugs on those spots will work to regrow my grass? If so, what is a simple way to plant them?

@jowats3540 Yes plugs will work. That's actually the only way to repair st augustine grass.

@beastrod00 the orange top ingredients may be on the banned list in Texas. So they may restrict you from buying that one. You can try Bioadvanced Lawn weed & crabgrass killer or Round up for Lawns if available
