Preemergent Spread for Crab Grass Control

Yard

2/10/2022 – Spread 40 lbs of Pendulum 2G to control crabgrass in the yard. The last application on 10/26/2021 using the cyclone seeder set at 2 seemed to be about the right rate and it did control/eliminate the burweed. At the setting of 2 it appeared to spread 3.5 lbs/1000sf. The application rate table in the Label indicates that rate would provide a 4-6 month control. Spreading in February then would work until June to August.

So, 40/3.5=11,400 SF.

The plan is to spread:

  • the backyard, 4,000
  • south and west of the greenhouse <<1,500
  • two passes along the rail fence at the road to cover the flower beds and into the fence
  • the weedy spots in the front lawn primarily down the center where the septic tank field lines are as well as the large round places.
