Hi - I live in northern NC and my tall fescue lawn is going dormant with the heat but the bermuda is kicking in . Can I use now?

no, i would not advise this. your tall fescue is at a week point right now. that should have been done in the fall when fescue was at its strongest and bermuda at its weakest.

I'd trust the label. I had bermuda grass in a flower garden. I sprayed liberally from 1" or 2" and no plants were harmed save the bermuda grass. I sprayed in the Fall to good effect; 90% of the Bermuda grass was gone come Spring.

I only do it once a year, but it really depends on your grass species. Mine is a hybrid bermudagrass... and it goes dormant on winter. So I dethatch in early summer.

Depends on where you live, but I would wait until early next year (Feb/March). Grass doesn't grow well in the heat in general. I tried planting this last year in the summer and it didn't do much in the heat. When I planted it in Feb/March, it had enough time to take root before the heat hit in June and has been doing great.

I over seeded an area of my lawn with black beauty. It came up fine. The lawn is softer where I added black beauty. It grows well in normal areas. I would not use it in an area that is shaded or difficult to grow grass in.

According to the label, this product can be used to "suppress" the growth of tall fescue (such as in orchards, etc.) if it is growing vigorously at the time of application. After two years, the Bermuda grass I treated is back with a vengeance. Perhaps I needed to do two applications as now I have more Bermuda than before.

It will work well during the cool season. The grass part may go dormant but the clovers will remain.

Yes. I have Bermuda grass and a ton of 10 foot evergreen trees that are a few months old. I used this with a 500 gallon hit tub and drained it straight into the yard and trees. It's been two months and everything is fine.

Hi Nannette, I only used the Celcius for a small yard but had great results with it. You might try the manufacturer to see if they can help. Take care.

BE VERY VERY CAREFUL!!! I used on my yard to deal with a Bermuda problem I had and it killed the grass. I followed the directions but unfortunately I have a very large brown area. I used it in sept/oct and won't know if the Bermuda grass is completely gone till June. Sucks for me. Good luck.

Zoysia is a very tough grass. I have grown it in the past in Florida with great success. Your blades would have to be kept very sharp. You would also need to keep it on a low setting. I used a rotary mower on mine. Reel mowers are the best to use on Bermuda.

I think it depends on the kind of grass you have. I live in central florida and have Bahia grass, and no problems so far.

I loved this stuff... grows on the top of the soil so needs lots of water and moisture. but then again I have sandy yard. I live in the south, texas and when we had the drought it died.. I believe because of the heat AND the low humidity... it was terrible.. I have been thinking of planting again..it is beautiful I cannot deny that fact.....

I have Bermuda so I'm not 100% certain. The bottle does say cool and warm season grasses.

Probably so. You would have to spot test it. I do have some bermudagrass that has invaded some of my liriope borders. I was going to do a test to see if it would kill that or not. Overall product is working great after 2 applications. The woody part of the Bermuda grass is an off green color but the grass blades are all brown now.

I don't plant rye in winter, don't waste my time with it....but I do have bermuda and you MUST use a reel mower. I love my great states. I mow at 0.5 inches. Do some research on how to care for bermuda. Read the bermuda bible. Bermuda gets more dense when cut lower, it changes how the grass blooms and grows. You can have close to a golf course like yard with a reel mower. Golf courses use them and for their greens they use extremely sophisticated reel mowers with electronically leveling blades and many many blades. Reels are awesome.

It seems to work well. Stick it in the ground and you get a temperature. In realty it is probably not necessary here in the South, where you need to just be patient and recognize that you have an extraordinarily long growing season. More relevant in the cold climates.
