pre emergent


Will pre emergent prevent new weeds from popping up in St. Aug. even if there are existing weeds that have been sprayed with weed killer (I used Bayer Advance)but not yet fully eradicated?

pre-emergent stops seed from germinating, therefore it will prevent weeds that aren't there now from becoming a problem. Should have already put some down, but putting it down right now is better than not. Then, in another couple weeks to a month, treat the weeds that have grown in with post emergent depending on lawn species. ( I have had great success with sethoxydim for grassy weeds such as crabgrass)

Weed and feed is a waste of money because the two applications need to occur at different times of the growing process in order to be effective.

Absolutely yes. Most of the weeds in your yard right now are winter weeds.(that can be prevented by applying a pre-emergent in the fall) Putting down pre-emergent right now will prevent weeds that thrive in warmer soil temps.
