I'm super late on my pre e. I want to put it down now, but i need to cut.

Should i apply before or after i cut? Do i immediately water it in?

Thx

I wouldn't worry about the cut unless you are bagging/catching the clippings. Prodiamine calls for 1/2" of rainfall or irrigation within 14 days following application.

This is what the local site-one suggest, but says wait until the first cold or freeze, can't remember. Do you recommend this one? Will this kill my current weeds or do I need to apply something else for now on those weeds? And if so what do you suggest? Thanks

Sorry, I can't read the active ingredient in that photo. I googled the product name and it looks like it is a Pendimethalin product? If so, I don't have any personal experience with that active ingredient with regard to application timing or length of control. I would always recommend following the label instructions though.

10 times out of 10, a supply house is going to recommend a product they have on their shelf - and understandably so. My experience has been that it is usually best to walk in the door with my mind mostly made up about the product(s) I want to purchase. If they don't have what I am looking for, I simply thank them for their time.

Pre-emergents will not kill actively growing weeds - you will need a post-emergent herbicide for that. I use Celsius and Sedgehammer.

Hey ware, when am I allowed to out any down? When can I put pre emergent and post emergent? You know my situation.
I would not delay your fall pre-e app.
Ok, I just put down the prodiamine. Do I water it in IMMEDIATELY? or do I let it dry then water it in, or does it really matter?

Doesn't matter if it has dried or it's still wet. Turn on the sprinklers to water at least 1/2" in the morning
