Still got weeds in the lawn

Posted by Woodster on October 9, 2012 at 6:50pm in Pesticides

Hi

I've recently scarified and over-seeded a lawn. I dropped in today to have a look and i was surprised to see as much weed as before the over-seed.

I'm not sure what to do and I've not yet attended the PA1 & PA6AW courses so can't spray yet although, this job is at a friends house. The lawn is looking pretty good for what is my first ever job to over-seed and lawn which was in need of some love.

What do you think I should do about the weeds and what process to get rid of them should I take?

    Try a granular need and feed if you cant spray but it won't be as thorough as a sprayer applied selective

    Simples, get your friend to buy some domestic grade selective lawn herbicide like veredon and get him to apply it. Job done :-)

    Cheers both Dan and Brian.

    At what point is it possible to apply any herbicides?? I over-seeded three weeks ago for a point of reference

    Get it applied asap, the temperature is dropping fast

    it depends on the herbicide. For professional users Spearhead cannot be applied for 6 mothers after seeding but React can be applied more or less straight away (at least from memory!)
    I'm afraid I don't know much about domestic weed killers and if they can or cannot be applied on newly seeded ground.

    Well I'll look into the domestic market products and check it can be applied this early, thanks Nick

    There are very few selectives which can be applied so soon after seeding. I searched recently and ended up using holster which was for use 6 weeks after seeding.

    I've just searched for Holster but its for professional use and I haven't completed the PA1 and 6 yet. A stream is at the bottom of the garden and I'm concerned about using the wrong product, I'm going to have to call someone in I think, I don't know what I'm doing yet
