Hi,
A bit of lawn background info: I beat it to the ground till recent (lack of knowledge). With help from TLF, I applied these things in last 2 days: for fungus Scotts DiseaseEX, for fertilizer - Vigoro 29-0-4 granule, for insecticide - Ortho B-gon Insecticide granules. I slightly watered them in, I doubt I even put down 0.5inch of water because my lawn was being over-watered till recent (rains and my lack of knowledge). Now I want to go ahead and get on top of the weeds - already gave them a 2-3 week head-start.
About the weed problems: There are a ton of small weeds - broadleaf types from what I gather (ones which look like small plants - having bigger leaves and stuff). Some are the kind which have a purple stem and small leaves all over etc. If i start attaching pictures, there would be more than 10-15. They are rapidly spreading across the lawn.
I read a lot about how good Celsius/Certainity are in the high temps of GA + warm season grass. I intend to buy both of them, mix together and do a spot application as a broad control (tired of trying to ID all of the weeds) first and then figure out what ones remain and counter them with specific chemicals. Before I go ahead and order both the products, I have some questions after reading a lot of posts in TLF about them:
1. Do's and Don'ts of mixing either?
2. When do they NEED a surfactant? GA temps are in the high 80's right now and the forecast predicts them to be mid 90's next week.
3. I keep seeing this in posts- "Yearly Mark". What is this and how important is this?
4. Thoughts on blanket spraying?
5. Anything that either product doesn't outright cover?
6. Would you add any other weed killer to the mixture?
7. I read about the Bermuda Triangle. For future reference, does Pre-emergent (Barricade) need a blanket type application?
Thanks!
