When using a pear burner to kill weeds, do I need to burn it to the ground or just make the leaves curl?

Fire worked pretty well. Few black spots here and there, but a bunch of dead weeds that nothing but paint thinner would kill are now gone

Should be able to find some hose end bifenthrin pretty easily. Hose everything down including shrubs and flower beds. I spray my bushes and beds with Demand CS and Tekko and spraying my lawn tonight with Bifern and it does a good job for me. I haven't noticed any mosquitoes yet thanks, I will give this a shot found Cutter brand (contains bifenthrin) hose end concentrate that I sprayed the entire back yard including bushes and various flowering vines, also sprayed the patio & deck. Seems to have really put a big dent almost immediately. We also put up aion mosquito barrier pods (4x) around the outside of the immediate yard. The past 2 evenings, I don't recall seeing a mosquito ...

Looks great Derek, lol I painted some of that stuff you told me to get on my dallis grass. I have giant dead spots everywhere think I might have painted a little too much, but of course still have some dallis grass. Can’t seem to get it all.

Got one fugly side and one pretty side I feel that pain. I was a little rambunctious with pre-emergent weed killer this spring. Just when the grass was really coming in the contractors started on my siding and roof ... trampled it to bits. Now it's hot and I'm trying to help it recover.
Pass the gravy.

Last summer I had the "spurge surge" as Derek called it with some Dallisgrass, marsh parsley and Astor weed. MSM Turf (Derek`s recommendation) did away with away with all but the Dallisgrass that I hand dug out. Spot sprayed with a marker every week till they were under control. What a difference a year makes. This year I have almost NO spurge compared to last year and none of the other weeds listed above. I`m also Extremely happy with the areas where I had KRB, and I sprayed with glyphosate last spring. Those areas have filled in fully and no KRB has tried to come back at all. It looked like a$$ for a while but great now. We are covered up with grasshoppers where I live, but I`ve been spraying Bifen XTS @ the .06% rate and it does a great job so far. If they make it on my lawn they are going to die. For some reason we are covered up with wolf spiders this year. I think they are after the dead grasshoppers and crickets that the Bifen has killed . It was 107+ yesterday and only 6 weeks away, give or take from Fall preemergent application time. Come on Fall.

My spurge is probably a 1/4 of what it was last year since not forgetting the Gallery apps. You need to share more pics of it more often. You've done an outstanding job on it.

Derek can you positively identify these 2 and the weapon of choice to take them out please? It’s rained 3-5 inches every week for a month up here and has everything trying to get screwed up again. Evidently all the rains washed my pre emergents away and I had to hit the spurge with MSM last week but it didn’t touch these 2 and I don’t want to put the wrong chemical down for them.

Top one kind of looks like Dallisgrass hard to tell when it’s short though. When it grows up does it have 3 shoots off it with seeds on it? If so it’s Dallisgrass and that’s what I’m dealing with in my SA right now. I’ve killed a bunch of it but it keeps coming back. Zombie grass.

Derek can chime in and give you the CORRECT answer, but I`m going to give you my best guess. Here`s a good chart for weed identification. I still have a hard time identifying some weeds, even with a chart. My best GUESS is the top one is Crab Grass and the bottom one is Virginia Weed. Quinclorac should take care of Crab Grass and I think Virginia Button weed (if it is) is hard to get rid of, I've never had to deal with it. If the top one is Dallisgrass you need to dig it up like I had to last year. I get Dallisgrass and Crab Grass confused without a seed head. . Good luck. https://aggieturf.tamu.edu/turfgrass-weeds/Derek can you positively identify these 2 and the weapon of choice to take them out please? It’s rained 3-5 inches every week for a month up here and has everything trying to get screwed up again.

I thought the top one was crab grass as well and it could be but as good as I thought I was identifying weeds I’m needing back up support this time around. This yard was 100% weedless but then the rains and floods started and messed everything up. It’s pouring buckets again as I type this and I haven't watered the yard since the first of May but it’s washed all my treatments away at this point.

Got in an early mow today and the temps were in the low 80`s for a change. My last N application was 2 weeks ago. I ended up with .35 lbs. of nitrogen per 1000 after one pass with my Chapin spreader and called it quits. Interested in seeing how long it will hold its color till it needs some more. My June app of N was a little over .6 lbs. per 1000 (I was aiming @ .5 lbs) and I wanted to dial it back some with the July temps being what they are.
