Blue Marker Dye which can be safely and effectively used with RoundUp ?

[Rivets]

Don’t you understand that spellcheck changes weeds to “we end”. Sorry about that.

Thank you, Gym. Yes, for six years I've applied Tenacity 3x/growing season. But the last two seasons even double strength applications made no difference, even though there was mild blanching of the entire grass. So I gave me this year not knowing of anything except Tenacity.

It is hoped that using a sod cutter will remove most or all of the dormant parts of Nimble and other enemies.

All I can say is, I hope that stuff never makes it into my lawn.

Which "stuff" ?

From what I read nibble weed is hard to control. Never tried here but it might be a little more sensitive to Roundup than your regular grasses so try spraying at a reduce strength that how I control Sage Grass here. I used the Roundup as a growth regulator here so it is spray at half strength but it does take out the Sage Grass and leaves the the hardy multi-year grasses.

You also may want to use a pre-emergent to prevent seeds from spouting as that takes care of the crab grasses here.

What are your favorite pre-emergents?

The Nimblewill.

A neighbor gave me a new bottle of Barricade and it is alleged to be a pre-emergent stopping weeds for a year. Anyone here have experience with it?

Thanks for the tip! That’s really interesting — I hadn’t thought about using Roundup as a growth regulator. I’ve been struggling with nibble weed too, and if it’s even slightly more sensitive than the usual grasses, that could make a big difference. I’ll definitely give the reduced-strength spray a try like you do with Sage Grass. Appreciate you sharing what works for you!

That is inaccurate. See attached.

Read. The. Label.

(Not directed at you personally but, some small % homeowners not reading lawn chemical labels is why eventually none of us can have effective things …)
