I live in Florida, and have St Augustine grass. I have a 5x10 patch of SOLID dandelions and WANT THEM DEAD!! Will this do the trick? Heat an issue?

I am not sure. Google Image Herbicide, and you should get info on what it will control. I used this product over a year ago, and it completely got rid of nutsedge and bahaia grass. I live in Mississippi near the gulf.

don"t know about Bermuda grass but it does kill all types of sedge plus other pesky weeds. outside temp does matter. never put down in the growing season. use only after grass is out of the growing season, I would guess between oct to april. in the growing season it puts too much stress on the good grass. I also live in fla on treasure coast. try it on a 3 x 3 foot section as it only takes 3-4 days to notice results. good luck

I used it for spots of "bentgrass" and it killed it. Unfortunately I sprayed in the fall, I know it killed it, but I'm away and can't say how it is now. Asto area I would say at the mix amounts in directions 8 oz should do the job with some left.

My question exactly, my husband likes to keep the St. Augustine LONG, but I can't stand the noise, the mess, etc.......can anyone else weigh in about the issues of St. Augustine and a push/reel mower. I couldn't tell from AMERGIN's post......do you mean you mowed 2-3x PER WEEK? Of course that would be in Florida, we are here in central Texas, no rain in sight.......so i bet it doesn't grow as fast as in Florida. Please let me know what other info you get, thanks.

I can only tell you that when I torched between my patio stones all the weeds died and did not come back, but the grass between the stones burned off and grew back very nicely. What I don't know is what variety of southern grass I have, so there is the possibility that all types of grasses may not like being burned. Think about it, the farmers burn their pastures in the spring to kill off the weeds and the pasture grasses regrow. Why not try a sample patch to see what will happen?

I see no reason why you couldn't if you live in a warm climate. When it cycles through the cleaning process I believe it discharges a pretty salty solution that would probably kill the grass or other vegetation that may be in the area of discharge. we are thinking of doing the same thing at our Florida house but I have to solve the discharge problem first.

It will cook everything the heat touches. This is like a giant blow torch. Not a good idea for a new lawn IMO.

this work well in the heat during the summer.... u CAN apply this during spring as it NEVER burn the grass. Remember Feed and weed application do not work too well in the heat or above 80 degrees......

Sorry, I can't answer your question. It I'd difficult to cut taller grass, but when you cut the grass regularly it works well. We're in Northern NJ, so we don't see a lot of St. Augustine grass.

Not great. If it's too long it will push it down before it cuts it. If you have heavy dandelions, it doesn't do well either. I mow our lawn pretty regularly so this doesn't happen, but it is something to watch out for.

Yes, it will definitely kill your grass. I have tried several recipes to rid my gravel drive of weeds, but none of the "natural" recipes kills the roots.

It kills Bermuda Grass. If that is what you have it will work and will not disturb other plants in the vacinity.

Probably just where the legs are, but I'm only guessing. The paver bricks that we have it on don't get hot at all but those would definitely kill your grass!

I wouldn't recommend this to you. I have terrible results. Try ammonium nitrate on your lawn. It works wonder for me.

This herbicide works fantastic on removal of Bahia grass in your lawn. I used it in a lawn of St. Augustine and centipede, with patches of Bahia all over the yard. I used a pump sprayer and spot sprayed each patch lightly. after a summer of use with this product I removed every spot of Bahia from the lawn. this product will burn the other grass a little (turns a little red) but it recovered in no time. I used the MSM that came in white pellet form, you will get a measuring cup with the product. fill this cup to the bottom line on the cup. I put this in a Gatorade bottle with a little water to mix the pellets good by shacking the bottle vigorously (with top on bottle). then put this measurement in 1 gal of water. (just a dab will do the job). my 1- 2oz bottle will last for many years. this is very good herbicide to rid Bahia from lawn. Good Luck.

yes. works well on winter grasses. do not use on st. augustine. That's what bonus s is for.

Yes it can - I live in FL and have Floratam (a St Augustine variant) You may need to remove every other row of tines as shown in my review. I have used with all tine rows populated, but eventually the motor overheats and shuts down - too much stress on the motor. With every other row used, the motor keeps going and I saw no substantial difference in the amount dead grass pulled up.
