I have bermuda grass coming up thru my raised bed garden. How long does Grass B Gon take to work?

You should start to see some results in about 5 days. Be careful about spraying any surrounding plants. Some species are impervious to Grass B Gon but some are not.

I bought this and it takes forever to work. Over a week! It does finally work but that was too long for me. I threw it away and bought something else that works in 24-48 hours. I hope this helps!

I usuallly seed in the fall, but did it in early April this year. The grass started to come up in about 14 days and looks great.

This stuff works great With your garden sprayer blast into the mound for about 10 seconds. Spray the mound itself and all around the perimeter Soak real good You will have a good kill within 2 hours. Next alternative gasoline and a match burn baby burn......lol

Not sure on that grass, but it works great on fescu, Bermuda grass, not great for thick weeds, run time around 45 min, as edging around our place only takes 20.

Phil, I don't think normal grasses like blue grasses or broad bladed grasses have rhizomes. This stuff won't kill that type of grass. It kills bermuda grass which has rhizomes. Nothing else we tried will kill bermuda grass.

It takes about a week, maybe a little more, to see it begin to work. Within 2 weeks the nutsedge is obviously dead or close to dead. This stuff works great on this weed that I can't otherwise kill. There isn't much I can us on my floratam (version of St Augustine) grass. Sedgehammer (which goes by a couple other names as well) finishes what the atrazine doesn't touch. Be prepared to spray a few times though because the first pass will miss some. It only kills the sedgeweed that is actively growing.

If you want nice grass you should aerate your lawn once/year at least. This involves putting little holes in the ground the grass is growing in. If you already have grass growing & just want it thicker,whether you aerate your lawn or not you can just throw the seed on the top of the ground. The birds will thank you. They won't get it all & some will grow but it's better to aerate,spread the seed & water it everyday for a couple of weeks. In the south it will grow like normal grass.If you're above the Mason - Dixon line my experience with this product is you will need to mow twice a week. This seed will grow grass where other products fail. If you want nice grass you should aerate your lawn once/year at least. This involves putting little holes in the ground the grass is growing in.

I cut grass out of my cactus bed. I think it would cut Bermuda grass. It will work to cut the grass if it is a small area because it is a slow process.

No It's not this is the best time to seed your lawn now. Just water it twice a day for about 3 weeks and you should be ok. I hope this helps you out.

The run time will vary with the height and thickness of the grass. On an average my guess would be 20 to 30 minutes. I have two batteries one for front yard and one for backward. An average suburan house and lot.

have tried this 2x. did not kill entire yard, seeds took temporarily. the grass later died or diapeared & the weeds came back or a bald spot appeared. in other sections of yard had almost 1/2 yard cleared, all that hapened after temp.growth was the ST AUGUSTINE & BERMUDA pushed out new grass. my guess is that your yard has 2 be as bald as the MOON!

You will probably do a little damage to the surrounding grass but should fill in in a week or two. You just need to hit the top of the dandi weed once or twice over a week or two to kill it permanently. John

Well directions say it has to happen during germination ... Which I assume to be spring. I'd test it on a small area and see the results. It did not seem to kill crabgrass on the spot. Kind of seemed to help the other parts of my lawn from the crabgrass invasion so to speak.

I spread my seeds outside in a flower bed with average/slightly improved soil but nothing special, gave them water, took maybe 8-11 days and they sprouted like crazy. They can take the cold but I plan to keep a patch going year round. Where my bed sits, they get about 4+ hrs of sun in the morning. If you don't have a garden or a bed, you could use a planter. I have used that method too and it worked fine.

I believe the package says either 4 or 6 hours, I live in south Louisiana and rains here can easily be 10 to 15 inchs in a weeks period. I have sprayed prior to a week long monsoon setting in, within 8 hours, a week later where I had sprayed was brown and dead. This is grass not weeds or briars. I was amazed. It made a believer out of me. BTW, I do mix it a little heavy handed though.

I had some old grass, and a lot of weeds. I scraped and pulled, then ran a pronged hoe thru the yard, and garden raked to smooth it out.. I spread out the seed and then covered it all with humus and watered every other day for about two weeks. The grass when it is brand new will not choke out the weeds

First you have to wait for it to take effect. (kill the bad area) Then the area needs to be prepared. If it's a small area, it's simple, if it's a whole lawn, it's not so much. And the area of the country you live in will determine timing of things. It's not something that can be answered favorably without more information. I would suggest to contact your local state agriculture extension agency. They are experts in what works in your area. I've followed their advice for years and have excellent results. (I'm in Tennessee) It's a bit of work, but certainly worth it.
