Yes, the ag extension guy said pre-emergent applied again late
summer would help control it.

That's bogus. Preemergent controls prevent the seeds from sprouting
in early spring.

They do the same thing in late summer, brainiak.


Funny how he thinks applying it in late summer is no good, but applying
it several times is a great idea.

I didn't know pre-emergent herbicide could read a calender.... someone
better tell preen.

When are we supposed to apply it
then, 3 weeks in a row in April? LOL

Know what too much will do? Root prune the desirables.

Like I told you before your extension guy did, timing is critical with that
approach. Too soon can root prune, and too late won't work. You'll still
end up with some of it.
