Anybody have experience with this stuff? I have a centipede yard, but have patches of Johnson grass, crabgrass, torpedo (frick my life), and other random shite

Yep. Had to order it from Thibodaux Feed and Seed. Knocked back that got damned patch of torpedo grass in my yard really well for the last two months. it's slowly getting green again but it gave the centipede room to breathe and get green as well.

There is some stuff called Eraser they sell at Stine`s and a few other places (not HD or Lowes), it kills anything you spray it on.

Boot still having some issues with dallis grass. I read on LSU's site that sethoxydim can be use to rid of dallis grass. Will it work?

It browned the few patches I have. I find the best thing to do is dig it with one of those little twister hand tools when the ground is saturated.

Wanted to give an update. I got 5 weeks out of it before the torpedo came raging back with this rain. I did mix it slightly weaker than the directions since I had never used it before


My yard is healthy as shite and dark green right now, so I’m going to hit it at full power now and see if I can’t get a little more time out of it

I did the same and it isn't doing shite for me. I'm completely discouraged with my yard this year. I feel like I'm ready to give up the fight.

I sprayed the entire yard, and went a little harder in the torpedo infested areas. I would have liked to have gotten more longevity out of it, but it did knock it back. Killed several large spots of Johnson’s grass in my backyard


My front yard is really nice after a lot of work. Back yard needs a ton of work

Since I still have some left I'm going to give it another good spray this weekend. I guess I have some unidentified stuff that it doesn't touch though. And unfortunately whatever it is I have that I sprayed with roundup and tried to dig up before has my yard looking like crap...and the stuff came back anyway.

Did you use the surficant with it? The reviews said it doesn’t work worth a shite without it

Sure did. Maybe I didn't mix it strong enough.

Research I was reading on sethoxydim showed that using a huge dose of surfactant made a significant impact. Recommendation I read was 1% surfactant.
