Best Granular Pre-Emergent

Alright, I need a good granular pre-emergent. Is the Scott's Leafy Weed Preventer OK? Or is there something that is seriously much better? I do not feel like messing with a spray.

Yup, that first one is it Ware, thanks! I'll try it for now and see if I have any complaints.

Need a good spreader now!

I wouldn't judge the success of the scott's product this year since you are way past the ideal time to spread that pre emergent. I'm not sure but I beleive the ideal time is spring and fall so you are preventing winter and summer weeds. I wonder if you could put enough down for control into September and then drop a 6 month preventative.
I used

and spread the whole bag on 8000 sq ft to get longer control.

I'm still fighting crabgrass but this was the first time I've dropped pre emergent down on my lawn.
Oh yeah I know, I'm just moving to a new house in 3 weeks with a much larger yard and am sick of messing with the spray types so wanted to switch to granular.
