@5:10 For those without granular Urea on hand you can also buy diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and use 10 oz per gallon to reach the same 0.1 lbs of Nitrogen per gallon of water.
I do commercial applications of lawn weed sprays, among other things, and we use speedzone quite a bit. We don't do a home mix for our adjuvant, but we do use a chemical surfactant called Syltac and/or Ranier-Surfactant. The big thing to remember with speedzone is that you can not use it in 70°plus temperatures, or it'll burn your lawn.
Hey man, we definitely appreciate this comment! A lot of time and energy goes into these videos. We're not just trying to talk to a camera like they did in the old days 😂
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. No matter what I’ve put down the past 2 seasons, I always end up with a bunch of thistle in my yard that I end up hand pulling at some point. Will definitely give this a try this fall
Great video with lotsa good info! Cool shout out to george, i’m one of his subs also. So ya weeds are taking over my neighbors yards and its just a matter of time!!
Hey man, I really appreciate this comment. A lot of work goes into these videos, so when someone notices it hits home for me 😂. I truly do appreciate the support! Thanks for watching
I do the same, wear respirator and goggle as well as boots, and gloves. But I also wear a white tyvek suit that has hoodie. 👍 great job using PPE. One can never be too cautious.
Adding urea or ams as an adjuvant is good. The ams is an acidifier. Also... Spot spraying with the fertilizer adjuvants might make for some uneven growth spurts where you spray vs don't spray. Great vid. Love that it's backed up by some science to explain why instead of just "how". Also, it seems like speedzone is discontinued by Gordon in the 20oz size. Or maybe is being rebranded as trimec speed. Bonide weed beater ultra is essentially the same product as speedzone if you can't find it in stores etc.
Speedzone is discontinued but you can still buy it on Amazon in the 20oz bottle. I'm gonna look into Bonide, I've never heard of it. Thanks for dropping all of your knowledge Joe. I appreciate your insight!
I have quackgrass bad in my backyard. It's absolutely brutal. There's nothing you can do to control it other than reel mow. It tries creeping in my front lawn but can't handle being cut so short
My only concern would be that the grass would absorb more of the herbicide. A lot of herbicides stress the grass with normal use. I’d assume this method would be best for spot treating if potentially stressing grass is a concern.
I definitely don't mind supporting a channel with buying promoted products if they are within a few dollars of the competitive price. However, I often find if you go local and look for products you can find much much cheaper pricing out there. I bought a 50lb 46-0-0 micro urea for a little over $30.00 in my area. I did buy the mixing paddle from the link provided. Really like your videos keep up the great content!!
Dude 100% buy local urea. Definitely the smart move. That's what I do. I just usually have 50 ppl asking me for links to urea so I added it. A lot of ppl tell me they can't find it. I definitely appreciate your support Tony. Thanks for watching!
Oh dang!!! Always epic to see new things on youtube! Learning so much thank you Jesse!!! That backpack sprayer is sexy!!!! 😂🤙🏾 PS That rap song in the beginning is fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Soooo could I use DEF with the citric acid? Love your videos, and how you YT lawn guys are boosting each other up by sharing to your group about the others page. Princes lawn rocks and you guys do so well with your explanations and cross referencing. Keep rocking it. Also which state do you live in. Thanks for the videos.
Has anyone tried using diesel exhaust fluid as urea for this? I saw that video from George of Princess Cut Lawn about using diesel exhaust fluid as urea fertilizer and have been using it to spoon feed my lawn, getting pretty nice result from it. I'm thinking it might work for boosting herbicides too.
I've been doing this for years but not with the intent of weed absorption, more so to combat the yellowing of the damage caused by the herbicide. That explains why I've been good weed kill.
If you're getting yellow you might be applying too much herbicide. I usually get zero yellowing, but I use the low end of the recommended rate. And yes, nitrogen is definitely helping with the green up, two birds one stone!
@@LAWNLIFE I’m looking forward to the fungus preventative video this year, but living in Iowa our current conditions are almost right for fungus so I may already have my preventative down before that video comes out. Keep up the hard work!
May be a silly question but are you doing this in addition to your regular nitrogen treatments and other enhancements? For example if I am spoon feeding nitrogen and turf titan items would I add them to this cocktail or do them separately before or after the herbicide?
Man, I live just down the street from you in Anoka. I'm working on my lawn and would love if you could lend a hand. If you're up for it it's free content for your channel😊
Thank you for this .. I am going to buy this . Can I buy this is port Huron as I live in Canada and I can get it on my next visit. Does this kill dandelions
Awesome video, thanks for the information, I have one 1 question, this work with St. Augustine grass? - I ask because I have been told that some herbicides solutions can burn/kill the St. Augustine grass with the weed.
He's in hardiness zone 4, and St Augustine tolerates 7-12 with effort and is best in zones 8-10. Minnesota definitely doesn't (or shouldn't) grow St Augustine.
Hey I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now, great job! With the herbicides is it safe to blanket spray your entire lawn or do you recommend spot treating? Also, what is the difference with “spiking” the herbicide with urea compared to using something like tenacity? Thank you
which herbicides should NOT be used together? i have several SINGLE ingredient herbicides (tenacity, fusilade, empora), and would like to combine them for a single treatment. another option, simply rotating between single herbicides monthly.
Can’t you use a surfactant as well with the speed zone? I mixed tenacity,speed zone,surfactant…it did a lot of damage to the wild violet and clover I had in a couple days.
Yes you can. Urea acts as a surfactant but not as well as a non-ionic. I didn't want to tell people to put the kitchen sink in their mix. Glad you're getting a good kill!
That will work better as a surfactant than the urea will. I didn't want to overwhelm people with three different ingredients. But definitely put it on if you have it.
dude where in mn you from? id love to drive buy and look. looks super nice. also what kind of grass you have? looking to burn my stuff up and start over. thanks in advance
@@LAWNLIFEso much harder trying to say everything correctly on camera than one would think. Awesome video, really helpful. Also like seeing the shoutout to George, he's got a lot of great content and seems like a good guy.
I'm in Minnesota as well, and I'm having a myriad of problems and welcome any and all advice. I have a yard that is very sloped from back to front. The back and side yards are primarily shaded throughout the day. I believe I have all manner of species of weeds not to mention moles and or voles. Where should I start? What order should I take the various issues.
If you have tunnels going through your lawn that collapse when you step on them, it's definitely moles. Take care of those first. I've had the best success with traps. After that I would wait until August to start attacking the problems. If you kill the weeds now you won't have anything but bare dirt and won't be able to seed until then.

Use Ammonium Sulfate fertilizer to help bring down your pH of your soil. The CA in this video is used for bringing down the pH of your water (the carrier).
It does work as a surfactant also. You're also not hurting anything by adding a non-ionic surfactant, which may work slightly better than urea, but I didn't want to tell people to throw the kitchen sink into their mix.
@@LAWNLIFE Cool, I didn’t know urea acted like a surfactant, first time I’ve heard that, I have been known to add ammonium sulphate & baby shampoo to glysophate when doing a total kill off ,it takes a couple of weeks to work but everything is killed on one application, Does ammonium sulphate have surfactant properties too?
Awesome video, I've used Gordon's speed zone and it has killed pretty much every weed it comes in contact with. @Jesse - Through my research, I've found that PBI Gordon has discontinued this specific SKU, have you done any research digging to see what other products from them have the same active ingredients with the same concentration. I did some digging but was too overwhelmed.
They have discontinued it, but it is still available on Amazon. I did some digging before the video and it seemed like their replacement wasn't getting that great of reviews. I didn't check the active ingredients though.
@@LAWNLIFE I have a degree in food science - that amount of citric acid could become your new ranch dressing....put that sh*t on everything 🤣 ...in tiny doses
I would test a spot first. A lot of variables with liquid fertilizers cuz there's so many different mixes of things in them. I'm sure it'd be fine in most cases but I'd definitely try just a couple areas first before going crazy
I hate using tenacity or other products like it. Not that it doesn't do the job, it just lights your lawn up for way too long and is an eyesore.. I now just have a company spray it instead. Does this stuff do the same?
I'm not a fan of tenacity either. Takes way too long and the bleaching is ridiculous. Speedzone bleaches weeds a bit but not your grass. Label says 7-14 for a kill. I'm noticing around 1 week for 75% of it to die. The bleaching isn't as bad as tenacity either
@@LIGHT7CODE7 😂😂 so many other great options instead of tenacity. I'm actually thinking about doing a video on why tenacity is a joke lol. Thanks for watching man!
Any suggestion on what to do for salt damage? My neighbor keeps salting my yard, so I've been watering like crazy and put down a light coat of starter fert. (got it on video, since they don't cross the property line, there's nothing I can do, so say the police.) Typical MN passive/aggressive behavior.
Your sprayer doesn't spray 1 gallon of water per 1,000 so why mix it with 1 gallon? I know you can go over twice to spread that gallon over the 1,000 sq. Ft. But why not figure out what your sprayer puts out per 1,000 and mix with that amount of water. I mix my 2.6 ounces with 80 oz. Of water for 1,000 sq. Ft.
I'd be very careful lowering the pH of 2,4-D and others - you risk changing (increasing) the half life by many orders of magnitude (you should ask yourself why Gordon's didn't lower the pH in their medium from natural to acidic?)
I've heard good things about speed zone. But it's a shame I can't order it. Not in my area or state. Don't know why, but when I try to order online, I always get a message saying that it can not be delivered to the zip code.
Allowed, but only to state certified applicators. Not to be sold to, used by or stored by non certified people. Says so on the label. Some states have gone after online vendors selling restricted products to non qualified people.
Yes. You can DEFinitely do that. Ha. Just make sure you're doing your math right so you're not putting down more than 0.2 lbs of Nitrogen per thousand square feet. You'll have the potential of burning your lawn if you do
@@LAWNLIFE can you hit your boy up over at princess cuts and fact check him on his nitrogen break down for the DEF that he had used. He stated that it would be a 15-0-0 for a 2.5 gallon container that contains 32.5% Urea. Help me out on this one if possible. And thanks for the reply.

You are better at lawn care than the Vikings are at football.
🤣🤣🤣
Cousins will make a run....said no one ever!
SKOL!
How safe is this for dogs?
Label says to keep humans and animals off until it dries. I usually wait a day and turn on my irrigation before letting anyone back onto the lawn
If I'm concerned about crabgrass as well can I mix quinclorac in with Speedzone?
Yes you can
@@LAWNLIFE thank you! My lawn is off to such an incredible start, and I owe it to you and this channel! Keep up the awesome work
@@reflex191 these are the best comments. Love it! Let me know if you ever have any other questions!
Im in Lino Lakes. Why won't they let us order Triad here?
I'm not sure. probably something in it that's banned here. Never tried using it. You can order T-zone as it's very similar
@@LAWNLIFE tenacity also can't be shipped here
@@Birdknowsbest try ordering from domyown.com I've ordered tenacity from there before and Triad shouldn't be banned here. I just looked it up
@@Birdknowsbest i was trying to order Tenacity and now i know why :D.
I'd be very careful lowering the pH of 2,4-D and others - you risk changing (increasing) the half life by many orders of magnitude (you should ask yourself why Gordon's didn't lower the pH in their medium from natural to acidic?)
I'm lowering the pH of my carrier because it's way too high. Not the pH of the herbicide.
@@LAWNLIFE it's 2,4-D is very soluble in water. Look at pubchem. The 2,4-D pH will be 1:1 with the medium.
Skol!!!👊🏾💪🏾
I've heard good things about speed zone. But it's a shame I can't order it. Not in my area or state. Don't know why, but when I try to order online, I always get a message saying that it can not be delivered to the zip code.
Probably banned in your state. What state are you in? I can try finding you a good alternative.
@@LAWNLIFE in New Jersey
Allowed, but only to state certified applicators. Not to be sold to, used by or stored by non certified people. Says so on the label. Some states have gone after online vendors selling restricted products to non qualified people.
How much nitrogen and citric acid are we mixing with our 3/4 way herbicides? is there a formula?
05:03 I tell you at that time stamp.
@@LAWNLIFEIs the 3.5 oz urea by volume or weight?
What would you say about using DEF as the form of urea in this mix? (As seen in the Princess Cuts video).
Yes. You can DEFinitely do that. Ha. Just make sure you're doing your math right so you're not putting down more than 0.2 lbs of Nitrogen per thousand square feet. You'll have the potential of burning your lawn if you do
@@LAWNLIFE can you hit your boy up over at princess cuts and fact check him on his nitrogen break down for the DEF that he had used. He stated that it would be a 15-0-0 for a 2.5 gallon container that contains 32.5% Urea. Help me out on this one if possible. And thanks for the reply.
@@d9t2s52392 urea is 46% nitrogen so you have to take 32.5 x 0.46 to get 14.95%. Essentially making it a 15-0-0
LMAO! at night
Lol, @00:54
😂😂 Thanks for watching!
I thought Justin Timberlake would have a bigger lot…. Just me?
