It's a great product I still use a granular pre M early spring n fall less weeds to kill during the growing season. Keeps the cost of Celsius down to a minimum Pre M much cheaper and only need to spot spray a few weeds as they pop upI refuse to use that stuff. I have a centipede turf lawn. We do have a LOT of weeds in the spring pop up and my wife gets on my tail about it. I tell her to hold on...
About May, I will mix up 8-12 gallons of spray using Celcius WG herbicide and some of that blue stain/marker and spray it all over our yard (~1 acre).
About 3 weeks later, the weeds are gone, I've put out some fertilizer and the yard looks great, wife isn't complaining anymore. I would have to do all of this if I put down a pre-emergent..... How do I know? Because I've done it. I'll have to apply the Celcius again in late August or so, if we have decent rain through the summer, but that's it.
The Celcius is not Home-Depot grade, weak garbage. It's professional-grade, high-quality stuff that WORKS. It's not cheap, either, that's why you've probably never heard of it. The name is now owned by Bayer, but they don't have the stones to try to get a big box to sell it....
This stuff (and a few others rocks) No more crabgrass, weeds etc. Sure, over time it will wear off the second half of the growing season but my lawn is so care free now I only need it in the spring. I see you are up north so this is the link they also have a southern formula.I have never used a Lawn Pre-emergent before and after watching videos of people that do........ it still doesn't make sense to me.
So you buy this Pre-emergent and apply it to the lawn and it prevents (doesn't kill ) weeds from coming up. So basically your trying to prevent weeds from coming up that may or may not grow in the areas that you apply the pre-emergent . Isn't it more economical to just fertilize to choke out the weeds and and apply a Liquid Weed Killer ? What are your thoughts ?
This and a soil conditioner. Not sure if a lawn pre-emergent is a 2-n-1. I have a lawn spray that's super thick. I poured it into a bottle that screws onto the hose. In Colorado we have alot if clay soil so it's necessary to treat it for lawnsI have never used a Lawn Pre-emergent before and after watching videos of people that do........ it still doesn't make sense to me.
