UMC Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I always hear that it's best to spray for weeds in the fall with something like 2,4D. So, would that mean like right now? Late Sept? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod1 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Any time the weeds are actively growing is a good time to spray...weather permitting. Spraying after the first hard frost can help get the harder to kill weeds like creeping charlie or thistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Right now is not the best time to spray. The plants aren't very active and they haven't begun to store nutrients in their roots yet. Wait until mid-late September when the plants start to prepare for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuleShack Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yep, the later in September the better. That way you kill all the weeds. They still pop thru out the month, so the longer you wait the cleaner your lawn will be come spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
