Hard to find but worth it
By Jb on 04/25/2013
Pre-emergent other than corn gluten is hard to find these days but it's worth it. We've used it for a few years now and it does a good job of keeping our neighbors' 10,000 dandilions out of our yard. Much better than weed-n-feed POST-emergent.

Unknown Effectiveness
By Ron on 02/15/2017
I purchased the pre-emergence weed control to combat spotted spurge because of the water restrictions in the Palm Springs CA area. Warning-the bag has no directions on what setting to set the spreader and the help desk has no idea what setting. Their recommended setting covered less than 2500 ft instead of 5000 ft. Let the buyer beware.
Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback! We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. Unfortunately, there are so many spreaders on the market that it is impossible for manufacturers to have a complete list of recommended settings. Also, keep in mind that different people walk at different paces. For these reasons, we highly recommend calibrating your spreader your needs. Otherwise, you should always start with the lowest setting on your spreader and adjust from there. You can view a helpful video about calibrating your spreader here:

Fertilome Preemergent
By Sara on 09/05/2016
I use this product at my home in VA on my fescue and at my Dad's in GA on his Bermuda/centipede. It has saved me more hous in weeding than I can say. I apply it in VA in Early winter, spring, and sometimes summer. I used to have seas of chickweed, lespedeza, blossom weed, spurge, corn speedwell, dandelions- you name it. Not now. Tip- apply two strips on edges. They get the wear and that's the weak link. I did Dad's house in GA for the first time this year. This product has is the only ingredient that the extension site says stops chamberbitter. We will see! I am also hoping it helps with Carolina Geranium too. I will update this later to say. Shipping from this site was great. Prompt and well packed.

Can't say much about the product yet. First application was in spring (2013) so I haven't really given it a chance, but it does look promising. Will re-apply next spring so I will know more by mid summer (2014). Can say that the service at Do My Own Pest Control is quite fast. Had the product just a few days after ordering and now have enough on hand to last a couple years. Only gave three stars because I still don't know how well the product works. Service is 5 star.

Good Pre-emergent
By Karen on 05/10/2020
I've been using this product for about 3 years as a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring. My primary problem here in Florida is the chamberbitter weed. I had thousands of chamberbitter seedlings every summer. Using the Fertilome with Gallery has really reduced the amount of chamberbitter seedlings that are sprouting each year. By hand-pulling the seedlings that do sprout I have almost brought the problem under complete control.

Hoping it works for chamberbitter

Keeping my fingers crossed!
By Bee on 09/04/2017
It's hard to review something like this when you've never tried it before and only time will tell if it works or not. But it was a great buy compared to just purchasing Gallery and it was easy to spread, so fingers crossed that it works like a charm! We'll see!

I used this product about 3 weeks ago. I have noticed that my neighborhood is now infested with dandelions. My property has been spared this year and i owe it to ferti-lome. I have had to hand pick a few dandelionsions but i am still very satisfied with the product. I also used another crabgrass pre emerant. I bought fertilome specifically to curb dandelions.
Best pre-emergent I’ve used.

Easy ordering and quick delivery
By Beth on 05/01/2020
I've just put this preemergent out so can't yet say if it works to prevent the chamberbitter (mimosa weed) I get in the summer. The broadcast spreader directions were not clear to me. I used a hand held spreader, and the product poured out at what I believe was too high of a rate when I set the spreader to what I thought the package indicated.
Broad Leaf Weed Control with Gallery
By Susan on 05/15/2020
Great product. I would recommend it. I had a huge crop of weeds this year due to the abundant rain fall. We have had 2X our annual rain fall. My weed crop was dying within one week. Weed and feed did not do that. I like Fertilome products and have used them for many years.
So far so good
By Sue on 03/27/2020
I ususally purchase from domyown for their prices and did so without pricechecking. I was later surprised to find the exact product at my local ACE hardware for $2.00 less. Also the delivery driver left the package at the wrong address, luckily my neighbors let me know. Back to the lawn, I applied the product about three weeks ago and so far no sign of weeds.

Chamberbitter DESTROYER
By Matt on 05/18/2019
Absolutely demolished the chamberbitter infestation I had. Applied in the fall and again in the spring and not a single chamberbitter came up. WORTH EVERY CENT! Will be laying down again in the fall just to make sure nothing gets through. I didn't treat my roses and of course I have a few ones pop up there but this stuff is amazing.
So far so good
