What can I use to rid my floritam grass of weeds. I have tried several products but they all seem to harm the grass. It there a product available either in concentrate or pre-mixed to use on my lawn. I live in Florida. Thanks, IP: Logged |

What kind of weeds do you have? How often do you fertilize? Do you have a sprinkler system? You can use atrazine and image but knowing what weeds you have makes it easier to answer you. IP: Logged |

Atrazine is available at Walmart, Ace hardware, Home Depot, etc for about $6/pint. If weeds are spotty then mix 2 gallons in a sprayer full and spot spray. If everywhere then use a garden hose sprayer and spray entire yard. Best times are late in evening or early morning during summer. Image is about $20 a bottle (buy at same locations). It also kills nutsedge. You can mix image and atrazine together but atrazine will likely cure your problems. If you use both, mix 3/4 of recommended amout of each and spot spray. Wear gloves, and glasses and washup after use -- just standard precautions. You can also add 1-2 drops of dishwashing liquid to help dissolve the chemical. Image takes weeks to work, Atrazine a few days. Let me know how it goes. Alex

FWIW, I live in Florida and have Floratam St. Aug. grass. I mix atrazine and Image, using both products at full strength. It seems to be a good combination for me. I usually spray about once every 6 weeks. I am still having difficulty with Bermuda grass in my St. Augustine yard. I'm thinking about using Prograss & atrazine next spring to combat it. IP: Logged |

Spectracide makes a product called Weed Stop for St. Augustine and xxx that they tell me is atrazine and safe for Floritam (variety of St. Augustine). IP: Logged |
