Well the simple Dallis grass cure went no where. Some died, most is turning green again.

But as the lib's say "it started a conversation" which lead me to a site somewhat more legit than I. They say I am on the right tract to "Control" which is a best case. One more spraying of Weed B Gon with Crabgrass control after 30 days (19 now) and then again first week of April is an effective control. So I have hope.

Try this - Agorganics - worked as advertised on my basketgrass, would think it would do the same for Dallis grass (which is listed in affected weeds).

This is not meant to start an argument so please don't take it that way but if cinnamon killed Dallisgrass I would think it would be way more well known and way more expensive that $15. Bayer made a product that kills Dallisgrass in two apps and it cost $400 for a 6 ounce bottle.

I never heard of this stuff before, but after looking at very expensive chemicals (not as expensive as the Bayer fru-fru juice you mentioned) that also killed all of the desirable grasses, I decided the magic cinnamon potion was worth a try. I don't know how it works, but I applied to to thriving basket grass, and after three days it was dead.
You are not the first to fall for the logical fallacy that the only solutions to intractable problems are themselves difficult and expensive. That is not always the case.
The only unknown at this point is whether this product's effect on basket grass extrapolates to Dallis grass. I will leave to the OP to decide whether a $20 gamble is worth finding a solution to his dilemma.

The important thing is you got your kids out of the yard.

If a $20 solution cured the problem then this company would market the hell out of it and be billion dollar company by now. I said I didn’t want an argument but your response was a bit smug. So to add to that cinnamon won’t do shite to dallisgrass and $20 spent is $20 wasted.

The simplest and most effective method of completely removing all dallisgrass from your yard is a motivated 12 year old boy and a shovel. Paid my son 1$ per head bounty. He worked on Saturday and Sunday. We settled up at sundown every Sunday. Did it all summer long. Best money I ever spent. Cost me about 350$ (no OT pun intended) last summer. This spring, we had 20 or so germinate despite my application of pre emergent. He took care of those in 10 minutes. I have had maybe 10 pop up since then and I pull them as soon as I see them.

That’s a good strategy. I will add that pre ems won’t work on dallisgrass. It’s a perennial.

Anyone who starts with "I don't want to start an argument BUT" is always itching for just that.
I offered the OP a possible solution while you have done nothing to help.
And yes, my response was intended to be smug - congrats on picking up on that.

last year i tried celsius in feb followed by Hi-Yield Grass Killer a week later.
results were looking good until it eventually came back.
this year in feb i sprayed Hi-Yield Grass Killer at 1 ounce per gallon,it then turned purple/black and never came back.
centipede took over and dallisgrass hasn't come back.
will kill bermuda though,i haven't tried on st aug and does nothing to centipede.
decided this year i would no longer fertilize centipede and it is thriving.

Celsius or Esplanade- both Bayer products (not available at Home Depot) will solve your problem with the quickness.
Follow the label. Dallis grass- GONE.

The only way I got rid of it was pulled it up when the ground was really wet this past spring.

Ronk has posted pages of help on this boarb, probably more than anyone else so try not to get all upset when people doubt that spreading all their kitchen spices on the yard is a good weed prevention method.
Perhaps you could post before and after pictures of you dallis grass infestation?
Posted on 9/7/20 at 8:21 pm to humblepie
Humblepie,
yours is a reasonable suggestion, and I'll show my results below. But first I need to do two things:
1. Ronk, I owe you an apology for the smug and generally dick-ish tone of my responses to your posts. I am sorry.
2. If you reread my initial post, I indicated that the KSM (short for kitchen spice mixture) did work as advertised on my basketgrass, and merely extrapolated my success to dallis grass since it too is on the affected weeds list on that web page. That assumption on my part may or may not be valid, but it seemed reasonable.
Below is a picture of a portion of my yard, where much of the basketgrass is dead/dying, with a few leaf strings (that I clearly missed) still alive:
since I clearly missed them with the KSM.
I will forward Ronk's questions (why does this work, why doesn't everyone know about it) to the manufacturer and see what they say.
Finally, good luck to OP in finding an effective poison for your Dallis grass.

No worries. I really wasn’t looking for an argument. I would love to see what that company says about their product working on dallisgrass . I can see that it worked on your basketgrass.
I doubted cinnamon worked because I don’t understand what the mode of action would be. Weeds can be controlled through chemical, mechanical, or cultural practices. I just don’t understand cinnamon but it obviously worked for you so I’d like to read what agorganics has to say.

No response to my questions on how the magic KSM works, or why they aren't more widely known, so I'll make this offer to the OP. I have some left over treatment, so if you're in/near the Baton Rouge area I'll give your a pound or two to try on your weeds. Either it works or it doesn't, but either way you're just out a little gas money.
ETA - I see that jimdog hails from the great state of Georgia. If you're willing to try this stuff I'll put a pound in the mail.
