Why would it? Celcius is not a pre emergent.

The label says not to use it on PRG.

You will be fine. From the label: "Bermudagrass may be treated with broadcast applications of Celsius WG Herbicide prior to overseeding. Allow 14 days or more between broadcast application of Celsius WG Herbicide and overseeding with ryegrass. Intervals less than 14 days may cause undesirable reductions in the stand of ryegrass. When making spot applications, allow 28 days before overseeding ryegrass."

My back yard is still mostly weeds. Could I put down a ton of PRG or ARG just to try to crowd things out over the winter? Should I even bother? I was hoping maybe I can have a decent back lawn until I nuke it in April/May.

I mean, yah. They are likely warm season weeds that will die off once the temps cool down, but I think you should be able to crowd out some cool season weeds with the PRG/ARG

Do you think the seeds will have a hard time reaching the ground to germinate? I can go real heavy. This shit is cheap. I guess cutting as low as my mower can go may help.

You're right I kept reading. Thanks

Yes, they will. I would mow as low as possible and then dethatch or do a light top dressing or something

Dang thought I could put off buying the sunjoe until spring. I guess I can hand dethatch again though. Shouldn't be as bad as last spring since it was probably the first time the lawn was dethatched in 20 years.

Or just rent a power rake. Beats manual dethatching by a landslide

Hi everyone. Those of you who ordered the Champion GQ from Hancock Seed, did you receive it yet? I ordered mine on Aug 31 but yet to ship. Emailed them last week and they told me within a week or two. Just getting antsy. I'm in the Raleigh area and with our temps I know I still have a little time. I just like to be prepared. Thanks

 

[justin144]

Mine shipped next day. I ordered in July.

Thanks for the info, I planned on ordering from them but didn't realize there was a wait time. I better order sooner than later.

I ordered from Seedworld USA arrived yesterday. Ordered last Thursday.

@Nick2879 have you received your CGQ yet? I ordered from them too and haven't received my shipment confirmation yet...

@Steverino, @Thisguy, and @justin144 have you guys over-seeded yet?

@Ware, @WDE46, @Slim 1938, @Wfrobinette will you guys be joining us?

 

[justin144]

I have not put seed down yet. Weather is still in the 90s in Dallas. I'm hoping it will be cool enough to get started in about 2-3 weeks.

I only put annual ryegrass in my backyard which is still mostly weeds. It was somewhat of an experiment. It looks pretty nice and survived the recent heat over the past few weeks easily. The area I dethatched by hand did much better than the rest of the back yard. That was the experiment really haha

 

[The_iHenry]

@justin144 We still have high's in the 90's but I plan on over-seeding this weekend.

@WDE46 I was planning on skipping the dethatching part but now that you say that... well looks like I'll be dethatching.

I already put down prodiamine. I really wanted to but timing isnt working out for me. Next year for sure.

 

[justin144]

@The_iHenry I would be worried about the grass sprouting and then dying from the heat. Not sure if that's a real possibility or not, honestly.

I too am planning on over-seeding my Bermuda with PRG in the Phoenix area. I probably have a few weeks left to go before I need to start. I usually wait until the golf courses nearby start and then I go for it. Our daytime temps are still in the 90s with nights in the upper 60s to mid 70s.

I only have 900 sqft, so it's not too much effort, but I want to try to keep the seed cost to under $50 (second baby just arrived...).

What is the best quality seed I could use to keep the seed cost capped at $50? Would 10# of ChampionGQ really be enough? Barenbrug?

Any other good seed options to consider? I have done the Scotts/Pennington PRG stuff before and it was 'OK', but I am hoping to improve the quality of the lawn this year.
