Yeah. This is the first time in 5 years I didn’t use a pre-emergent on my lawn this spring. I just never got around to it and didn’t realize how much it actually helps. This summer Im getting a lot of nasties. The I can love with some of it but the Nimbleweed really makes the lawn look trashy. It creates splotchy areas that are a different color of green and it grows at a different pace than my turf type fescue.

Got Indar from a trusted member here. It was a perfect timing for me.
You don’t need Indar. Bonide Infuse has the same ingredients as Monterey Fungi Fighter.

Right now, the enemy # 1 for my lawn is creeping Charlie. It is so aggressive and die hard. I underestimated it. It is everywhere on my lawn now.

You need to get some tenacity! Its one of the few things that will control Creeping Charlie. Aside from glyphosate.

I don’t want to hijack the thread but I would like to here the result of Tenacity on yournimbleweed first.
I used to spend quite a few bucks on extra special herbicide. It did not slow creeping Charlie much so I’ve been more cautious since.

Tenacity is a lawn herbicide, right?

Yes. Its for lawns. Its geared more toward grassy weeds and ivy where as 2-4d is good on broadleaves like dandelion and plantain. As mentioned its super expensive per ounce.
I just sprayed my Nimbleweed on Sunday. I used a spreader sticker along with blue marking dye in order to tell where I sprayed. Instructions say it can take 3 weeks to show but the targeted weeds will turn white and die off. A second spot treatment may be necessary. Ill let you know what my results are soon.

I will interested to see your results. I have a bottle of it too, and was planning on putting it down in lieu of Barricade etc as a pre-emergent herbicide (it is labeled as such). I was also planning on doing some re-seeding. But I never got to either. If the stars align right, I might get to using it on crabgrass.
Let us know if it causes whitening on your turf-type tall fescue.
Tenacity is a reduced-risk synthetic herbicide. It was formulated after someone noticed that some sort of plant suppressed growth around it.

I found my first rot of the year … a peach that had some bug damage on it. I didn’t spray that tree in the last round since it was close to harvest and didn’t want to add more Surround to the skin, but clearly that was a mistake!
The peach is Sha Zi Zao Sheng, its only the second time fruiting and its much better this time. The fruits are gargantuan and its super early. The taste is similar to a honey peach, excellent. The honey types are very prone to rot.

I let @speedster1 uses Tanacity first. If it works, I will consider it for creeping Charlie. I am not even sure. It takes over half of my lawn.
I found my first cluster of Black Gold full of rot. Not sure how it happened as I sprayed Indar right where this cluster was. Rotten year this year, I say.

I sprayed CaCl2 today… this winter i’ll just buy a bag of road salt. Seems to dissolve quickly in water. Have no idea if i mixed it strong enough or too strong. Only sprayed a few fruits.

Quite simply, it works and is working well for Nimbleweed. I have no doubt it will work for Charlie but ill let you know soon. Going to try and spray my dads infestation today.
As for the Nimbleweed, its reacted exactly like the literature for Tenacity says. It has turned white and is obviously dying. Its interesting to see the difference between how this product works versus how 4d or glyphosate works. Those typically causingnshriveling and Browning. But at this point there is not much change in the physical shape of the grass. Its literally turning white. The downside is that its even more visible in my yard now but it should allow the other turf to grow in. I’m planning to slit seed around labor day so this should be interesting.
