Hi Yield Preemergent

Anyone had any luck with this product? I'm planning to put this out this weekend. Says it has "Dimension" so hopefully will work. I'm in South MS.

That’s what I’ve been using for a few seasons now and my winter weeds were significantly less than before. Easy to come by here in hardware stores.

Dimension is a good spring pre em. Does well with crabgrass.

Very good product.

I'm putting out Lesco Stonewall 0-0-7 this morning. I want to get it on yard before weekend forecasted rains.
There was a slight, almost insignificant, rain this morning. I assume it's still ok to put it down? Am I right?

this is off topic but figured I'd ask since I saw your reply. I know you and ronk are very well respected on lawncare so wanted to know a VERY GENERIC timeline from spring - fall on what to put down and when. Here's what i have in mind for this year as a starting point:
Pre-emerge: very early spring as soon as soil gets to 50 (already did this, put down lesco 0-0-7 prodiamine)
Fertilizer: couple months later. Maybe late spring like April? No idea what kind to use, last year I used milorganite just because I'd heard it highly recommended
Fall: another pre-emerge to help prevent the cold weather weeds, maybe like October? I did not do this last year
Obviously this is a very rough timeline I'm still very much a novice and am trying to learn more year by year. Last year I put down a generic Scotts crabgrass preventer + feed type of thing early and milorganite in summer. I'm trying to tweak things for this year to do even better.

Well since you are in Birmingham, AL, bermudagrass lawn, I’ll always start suggesting you follow general recommendations of the AL Cooperative Extension Service (Auburn U) and I’m going to post a few links that can assist you with lawn management, maintainence, herbicide recommendation and month by month garden calendar which includes lawn recommendations.
Home Lawn Maintenance
Home Lawns: Chemical Weed Control
AL Gardener’s Calendar
If you like a one page “cheat” sheet, consider this lawn calendar template from the unit of GA which should be applicable to you in Birmingham (Auburn had had similar lawn calendars but I don’t see see them on their website any longer)
Hopefully before long a 2024 lawn thread should be stickeded to the top of the H&G page on TD - it was was removed a few weeks ago, but the OP did an excellent job of summarizing lawn care info recommended by many of the knowledgeable posters on this board in first 2 pages of the thread.
And of course always post your questions on here for lawn care guidance - more than few very knowledgeable people that can help with recommendations. And of course just follow all the lawn related posts - you’re going to become knowledgeable very quickly.
Back to your original question, you’ll likely want to begin fertilization once the lawn fully greens, and you’ve cut the lawn once or twice - I’m guessing that will be late April/early May in the Birmingham area. ronk is a lawn professional by trade and knows more about Bermudagrass than anyone on this board as his own lawn is bermuda so follow his recommendations on fertilizers, etc. over any other, including mine.
Lastly, b/c you referenced it in your post, avoid Weed & Feed products - handle your weed control and lawn fertlization as two separate lawn management activities.

Heck yeah this is great thank you!

I’ll post my general plan for Bermuda and then my extensive plan for Bermuda. Fortunately Bermuda is the easiest grass to deal with. Do you have common or a hybrid?

Wonderful! And unfortunately I have zero clue what kind it is.

Thank you! I have made some changes so I’ll post those.

Sorry if this is ad nauseam, but what is the consensus for Lesco 0-0-7 pre emerg for south Louisiana this weekend? Saw that lows are going to be low 40s/mid40s and highs in mid-60s dropping to mid-50s by end of next week.

Good time to apply it. Better to err on applying it a little too early than a little too late.

My lawn plan is rarely the same year to year. I like to play around with a few things to see if I can get more desirable results. The plan this year is as follows.
Soil temp=55 degrees any pre em with prodiamine.
Lawn is roughly 50% greened up 33-3-6. That is roughly tax day. I'll also do another round of prodiamine at this time if not slightly earlier.
4-5 weeks later I'll do 46-0-0.
4-5 weeks later 33-3-6
4-5 weeks later 33-3-6
Soil temp hits 70 I'll do specticle. One app at the full rate.
0-0-62 In November/December
Spot treating in cooler temps with a three way herbicide, warm temps with msm, and hot temps with Celsius. I'll add sedgehammer to Celsius or msm if needed.
Propiconizole and/or Heritage on stand by for spring dead spot or helminthisporium.
This past year just to change things up I did a half rate of fert every 2 weeks on the front and alternated spraying iron in between. I will say my front looked better than my back. I have about two months to decide if I'm going to do that again.
