Spot on!! I learned the hard way, good thing it was the back yard that was damaged! Thanks to your videos Travis, I am on the right path!! LOL The battle continues!!
Oh no...live and learn as the say. Won't make that mistake again.
Great to hear, buddy. Really appreciate all your support! 👊
Great video - where were you 10 years ago when I got into lawn care LOL Ive burnt my lawn back then from not reading the label thoroughly. Have a great day man
Oh nooo. I bet that was a tough lesson to learn! Thanks buddy! Have a great day as well!
Very well articulated.
Can be a mine field out there.
👊👍🇦🇺
Indeed it is, my friend. Never know what you'll get for info these days. Appreciate you as always. Take care! 👊👊
Pro-Tip: if wanting a cheap alternative non-selective, the gallon made by Bayer is only about $11 as a ready-to-use. The downside is the sprayer is all but unusable because it’s like 3” long.
To apply it you have to either hunch over or spray most into the air. Just use it as a refill jug for a proper sprayer.
Great to know. Thanks for watching and sharing. 👊👍
Very well explained as always. Timing my scalp this year has been difficult with the temps not being consistent, but in our neck of the woods you get used to it. I had a run in with dallis grass last year. What a nightmare! Would love to see a video of your take on how to get rid of it.
Thanks man. Yeah, the weather is in roller coaster mode. Freeze likely tonight and tomorrow night. I have never had to deal with bad dallis grass, fortunately. I had a little pop up at my first house and I hand pulled every bit of it right away when the ground was really soft after rain. Hope this helps a little. I wish I had more insight for ya. White clover, poa, and crabgrass, I know but not so much dallis. Thanks again. Have a great rest of the weekend.
I've always had good success with spectraside products. Great information sir 💯
Solid product at a solid price 👍. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Appreciate you!
Don’t forget the old method of pulling those pesky weeds by hand. Sometimes I think my neighbors must think this guy is nuts!!
For sure brother. It's the one method that never lets ya down. Got a little hand-picking in myself the other day. Appreciate ya!
@paulscheirer3368 especially when you’re out there at 4:00am with a flashlight
🤣🤣💯💯
Thank you! We have st Augustine so we need the purple. I have never used the liquid before. We have done just the fertilizer and water for a year and we have done the weed and fertilizer pellets. They have done alright but we still heve those nasty stickers and bahia grass and now some dandelions. The st Augustine part looks really good so im going to try the purple liquid to help our lawn. 🔥 We have always used spectricide the white for our walkways and driveway and patios. Great products
Awesome. Thanks so much for watching and sharing!
Excellent works as per usual. Very encouraged about the season. Saludos from Georgia.
Thank you! Appreciate your support!
Thank you. Another banger as usual! Appreciate you...
Thanks so much. Appreciate you as well!
Great explanation! I really like the spectracide products also. They get the job done for less $$$
They sure do. Thanks brother! 👊
I have trees planted with a round border that has mulch. What would you spray to kill the weeds/grass growing next to the tree without damage tree. I have been just doing it by hand so that I don’t kill the trees
Good stuff sir!
Thank you. Appreciate ya watching!
super helpful. thank you 🙏
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
TY... (excellent content sir)...
👊Thank you. Much appreciated!
What a great video, thanks man. Would like to hear your opinion on how to deal with crabgrass if I have st. Auguestine lawn ?
Thank you. Hope it helps. You’ll want to control crabgrass with pre emergent control. Just make sure the product you choose is safe on your variety of st Aug.
Love your videos and following your program this year. Just applied my pre emergent. When do you recommend applying the post emergent? I live in NC and have Bermuda.
Thank you. Glad I can help. I like to wait until temps are warmer with highs in the upper 70s, low 80s. It just works faster with warmer temps. You can do it with cooler weather but it takes a bit longer to work. Hope this helps. Appreciate ya watching.
Can you mix different brand of firtilizer. Thanks travis
I’m my not sure exactly what your question is. Sorry.
Thank you, this was helpful. Is the purple top safe for Bermuda? Label only says St. Augustine and Centipede grass.
You're welcome. Thank you. I don't know if the purple is safe for bermuda. Can't think of a reason to use it on bermuda. Would definitely check the label before using. The orange is my top choice and I have bermuda.
Did a little more digging on this. Do NOT use on Bermuda.
Bought the wrong stuff a few years ago and half my bermuda turned brown. It took the whole summer to get it back, and even then there were still brown spots
Bummer. Hate to hear that, man. Thanks for watching and sharing. 👊
How’d you get it back? I used the wrong bottle for my st Augustine about 1-2 months ago and the whole front yard is yellow now. Not sure what to do
@@AznSyko34 raked out the brown, put down some fresh top soil and watered it consistently so it could fill it. Took the summer to get it back decent. Sold the house before it was back to 100%
@@umbreonix thanks for the quick reply! I’ll give that a try
What height is your grass at 6:42? Roto or reel mow for the first season? Thank you in advance!
Rotary mowed at 2-2.5”. Only rotary mowing from now on. Appreciate ya watching.
Tks!
You're welcome. Thank you!
I have posted twice here Travis and for some reason i don't see either!
Hmmm, that’s strange. This is the first one I’ve gotten. Maybe a glitch in the system. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
@BudgetLawns
Yeah I posted two different comments and saw them.posted then the next morning I didn't see it 🙄 interesting 🤔
The other day, this video kept showing 0 comments. Then all of a sudden, later that day, the number changed. There had to have been something going on on CZcams’s end.
@@BudgetLawns
Oh ok makes sense then!
Great video..is the purple bottle for st.augustine grass safe for bermuda grass? Tia
No, do not use it on bermuda that is or has come out of dormancy. Thanks for watching.
@@BudgetLawns any color bottle safe for both?
No
How do you know the type of grass you have?
You can try a plant ID app or picture plant ID on IPhone. Or you can see if this video helps. Thanks for watching.

Hey trav!! I have been applying the pre emergent, but still have quite a few I want to get rid of before scalping. I was about to spray my Atrazine, but I noticed some of my Bermuda going green. Will a selective herbicide from spectracide kill that Bermuda you think?
I wouldn’t use the atrazine on Bermuda coming out of dormancy. Only if it’s completely dormant. The other Spectracide selective herbicides will not kill the Bermuda. Thanks dude.
Double check my calculations with me. I’ve got a 15 gal boom spreader to pull behind my gravely. The orange label spectracide is what I am gonna use in about an hour. It states 6.5oz/1000sq ft
I’ve got about 21k sq ft of yard so that is 136oz of product.
How many gallons should I be mixing in my tank? I’m having trouble finding that to help me calculate it? Maybe 15gal to 40oz bottle?
@@1635mw Here's a link to the actual product label. s7cdn.spectrumbrands.com/~/media/HomeAndGarden/Spectracide/Files/Labels/Weed%20Stop/SpectracideWeedStopForLawnsPlusCrabgrassKillerConcentrate_LABEL_96882688845_SEP22_HG966244_1719352_1719353_1719351_40oz.pdf
I mix the max rate (6.4 fl oz) per 1 gallon of water. The product label gives a little more info than the website so check it out. But this is how I would do it, which is the max allowed by the label and label is law.
Ok! I was thinking based on one gallon, but the website didn’t say! Appreciate ya man!!! Woo pig!
Anytime man! Go Hogs! Let’s get the series tonight!
good stuff. have you scalped yet?
Thank you. No, not yet. Supposed to get a solid freeze tonight and maybe tomorrow night. I'll wait until there's not a freeze in the forecast for 10 days leading up to April 15th or so. Appreciate ya watching.
🙌🏻
Thanks brother. Have a great Sunday!
@@BudgetLawns the season is nearing! Thx for the tips!
👍👍
Thanks...I was wanting to use the orange bottle on my St Augustine since it kills crabgrass..I'll use purple
@@alfredkulhanek1889 Good call. Glad this helps. Thanks for watching.
