If it sucks, can someone recommend a good one? I need to be ok for dogs since my dog is outside a lot.

Any preemergent will work just need to make sure you put it down prior to seed germination. We always use Barricade or the generic version.

This. Check the soil temp 2 and 4 inches deep. Need to get it down before it hits 50 degrees

The ground temp never gets below 50 degrees in Louisiana, ever.

It's safe for dogs, btw. Put it down now and again 2 months later for crabgrass prevention.

I use Amaze. No problem with it and works fine and just put it down again 2 wks ago. I just make sure I put it down before it rains so don't have to water it, but only work in soil.

I used Scott's Halts's for the first time this Fall, and it did great for the winter weeds. I reapplied in Feb, for the Spring weeds, and it didn't seem to do shite. I have more chickweed and poa than I ever have. Whether or not it will prevent crabgrass, I will have to wait and see, it's about another month or two until I will know.

I used a Scott's Spreader so I didn't have to calculate. Just pour it in, turn it to the setting it says on the bag.

I really don't give a shite about chickweed and poa in the winter, but when the bermuda greens up and there's crabgrass, after I used this product, I will be pissed and will write an angry letter to them.
