What product that you can actually buy works on weeds/crab grass post emergent and won't kill burmuda. I am currently experimenting with the following.

Bayer season long
Bayer with crab grass control
ortho weed b gone and crab grass
Image weed and crab grass

I used the ready mix for hose with each. I'm not interested in stuff that kills grass, I'm not interested in vinegar, salt bs. I know that prevention and thick grass is the best option but we are past the prevention phase and until the grass gets growing good I need things that work. Any other product I should try????


I suspect the Bayer sucks

The ortho is starting to work quick, a little yellowing of grass I assume by the quiclorac

Going to look at image now.

I used the bayer on my clover. It seemed to do ok. Took a while for it to kick in though.

Yep, clover and the broad leaf stuff seems like anying does ok. Crab grass and what I think is nutsedge are the issue.

I have been using Round Up for southern lawns this year with good results. Spray applicator for you hose. Has worked well on my San Augustine lawn.

St. Augustine is fairly easy to take care of, Bermuda can be much more difficult from mine experience

I had an all St. Augustine lawn, I just used Scotts product and it was one of the best looking lawns in the neighborhood. I moved and now have Bermuda style grass.

I had to hire Citi Turf to apply 8 apps per year, they have made a big difference in my yard.

Hiring someone isn't an option lol. I guess I could but that kind of defeats the purpose of things lol.

I have so many different things popping up this year I'm just going to mow and let live.

Quinclorac or metsulfuron. Just have to look at the active ingredients at Home Depot. Not sure what you would find but I imagine quinclorac might be available.

My local guy suggested Ortho Weed B Gon. Hooks up to your water hose. Has worked very well for me and $12 a bottle.

Ain't that the truth. When I lived in Plano we had all Bermuda. I kept it looking good but it was a chore. Now in Houston I have all St Augustine and it's a breeze. Water, Pre-emergent, Scotts. Easy as that.

That one and image seem to be doing best so far if the grass doesn't actually die.

I have a mix of grasses right now and haven't had any die, just the TARR, but I am fixing that now.

Just hope you don't start getting Take All Patch, Grey Leaf Spot, Brown Patch, Large Patch, ect............ then it can start to get expensive and be a pain.
