If you or anyone else prefers Lowes they have the same product and the same price. But they are only shipping to store for free and not to your house. I didn't check to see if all that is the same prior to this post.

To be upfront going into spring. I am not a licensed professional applicator. Just a lawn nerd. I prefer to backpack spray just about everything but understand that is not feasible to most so granular is the way to go. I took over a couple neighbor's lawns at no charge as they were asking for help. One had tru green and the other had nothing. Both were terrible. Both Bermuda. May 2022 is the oldest one. Used some high end herbicides on one and 41% glyphosate on the other. Both were different situations as one was full of King Ranch Blue Stem and the other Dallis. The high end herbicides did a great job but needed a follow up app of 41% gly the following spring. To tie Preemergent back to this I/they have only used granular Prodiamine Feb/Aug and their lawns are very clean this year. Couple broadleaf weeds here and there but nothing noticeable and those are easy to kill. It's taken 2 years of not missing a pre app to really show but when it does it shows.

May God bless you Derek...for those who ask, receive, in God's terms; it's amazing how many of us don't ask God, or a neighbor, for help. To be upfront going into spring. I am not a licensed professional applicator. Just a lawn nerd. I prefer to backpack spray just about everything but understand that is not feasible to most so granular is the way to go. I took over a couple neighbor's lawns at no charge as they were asking for help. One had tru green and the other had nothing. Both were terrible. Both Bermuda. May 2022 is the oldest one.

MERCY - not receiving what you deserve GRACE - receiving what you don't deserve "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness." America's MESS / is being repaired by God's miracle fixes I'd rather walk with God with no questions answered than to walk thru life without Him and know the answers

For the stupid price/results of pre-emergent these days, I'll use my weed popper tool and get some exercise to boot.

I have approximately 5k sq ft of mowable yard. I picked up 4 bags of K8 fert today at the feed store @ $28 per bag 40lb bag.

If you`ll buy Prodiamine 65WDG and a backpack sprayer you will save a lot of $$$ over time. I bought 5 lbs. in 2020 for less than 100 bucks and have been very happy with the results and savings. Still have enough for several more years to. You can but it cheaper today than I bought mine 5 years ago. Less than 70 bucks with free shipping. https://www.solutionsstores.com/prodiamine-65-wdg-barricade-herbicide

I had left over lesco stonewall that I used back in mid Feb.

I had left over lesco stonewall that I used back in mid Feb. The max rate of Prodiamine 65 WDG per 1000 sq. ft. per year is .83 oz so a 5 lb. jug will last quite a while. I do a split application in the fall (Sept 1-15) .42 oz. and another in the spring (mid Feb.) .42 oz. Fifth year spraying and very few weeds or Poa Annua. Prior to 2020 it was a mess. Poa was out of control lots of broad weeds. I actually think I`ve gotten better results spraying vs. granular for about 15% of the cost..

Is it to early for weed and feed ? trying to get a handle on clover . You can rollout with it now. There is one rated for Bermuda and one for St Aug. Also read the application label for best results. I believe the grass needs to be damp for the herbicide to stick to the leaf and work. Been a while since Iโve read the label.

And some good herbicides you can add to your spring app for cleanup if needed.

Well, I did it.
Ordered 10 cubic yards of compost delivered on Friday. Spread about 8 Sat and Sunday over about 5500-6000 square feet.
4 blisters later and sore but the yard will hopefully green up quickly!

Finely getting some rain for the weed and feed , have been spraying Weed Stop also
