Re: 'New' House old lawn Restoration 2020
Where are you getting that "one adds 2 ounces per gallon" of Ortho CCO? The label states, "1 fl oz/gal. of water/200 sq ft". Thus, 2 ounces of CCO is appropriate for 400 sq ft. Over what area are you spraying 1 gallon? If over 1000 sq ft, then the correct amount of Alligare Triclopyr 4 to mix into 1...

Re: Goosegrass breakout
Did you already read all search hits here for Tenacity+goosegrass? My initial review of such hits shows promise.

Re: New Yard New Project
Why not spray Tenacity (mesotrione) at seed down? Scotts Starter Lawn Fertilizer Plus Weed Preventer isn't the only option for mesotrione. Read the Tenacity label.

Re: 'New' House old lawn Restoration 2020
That, and I would spray 22 gallons over 22,000 sq ft, which is just how I roll and not what I would call "spot spraying".

Re: Weed ID help
All the same thoughts as Andy above. The succulent red stems reminded me of purslane, but like spotted spurge, it's WAY too early for purslane to appear, let alone be that mature. (And your weed looks nothing like purslane otherwise.) Before throwing in the towel, I also arrived at chickweed being a...

Re: Weed ID help
That there ain't no spotted spurge. Ya'll blind? :p Unfortunately, I'm not of any further help in making a positive ID. I have it, but it falls under the category of weeds that I know I can easily kill or pull without asking questions. I just don't remember ever making an ID. Spotted spurge, on the ...

Re: Grub Control - When
You have some, but do you have enough to justify applying pesticides and incurring the cost? Everybody has "some" grubs.

Re: Can someone confirm this is Ground Ivy?
I'll admit that it does conjure thoughts of Ajuga, but the leaf shape is more consistent with Ground Ivy (a.k.a. Creeping Charlie). But purple leaves? Maybe a seasonal thing?

Re: Weed ID please
Does this mean I'm going to have dozens of small hickory trees grow? Or do I not need to worry about these? From https://aroundtheyard.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17213&p=334571#p334571 Triclopyr is far and away your best option for chemical control. It's very effective on woody plants and gent...

Re: What is this and how do I get rid of it?
I've thrown in the towel on grass ID ever since NC State TurfFiles went offline. Find yourself a good online grass ID resource, and you will be your best bet for a positive ID. As Andy noted, you've got the plant in hand and can identify the key features by eye better than any pictures you take can ...

Re: Weed ID please
For example, Google "maple cotyledon".
If no obvious nut, let the first true leaves form to help ID.

Just use Google like you do for everything else. For example, "doyourown.com coupon code" leads you to:

Re: I need some help with this weed and a plan to attack in TTTF reno
Nope, right link. The sentiment stands, that Tenacity is great at certain things for which it was originally developed and less great at things for which it is currently marketed to increase sales. Members here have increasingly been using Tenacity for their go-to weed killer rather than reserve its...

Replace "crabgrass" with "chickweed" in the following:

Same. Brand-name Tenacity can still be had for $61–65 with free shipping. Don't just look on Amazon.com (marketplace sellers).

Re: I need some help with this weed and a plan to attack in TTTF reno
You can certainly try spraying Tenacity, but understand that the likes of Andy and myself never reach for Tenacity for post-emergent broadleaf weed control. There are far better products for that, like using triclopyr to control clover or chickweed. Each herbicide states how soon it can be applied s...
