wild violets in fescue lawn
By Don on 06/25/2017
I tried many products and nothing would kill the purple violets taking over my yard. I order Spurge Power and after spraying the violets started to fade. That was 2 weeks ago. I now need to do a small application to get the ones I missed.

Weed killer
By Matt on 06/19/2016
Well it doesn't kill the grass in my yard it does kill everything else though my problem was clovers and creeping charlie thissels and dandy lions. Knocked them all down after a few applications of little over 3 ounces per gallon spray jug. Recommend 2 ounces per gallon. Anyway it did kill my flowers and other plants I had near so you will have too watch out for the over spray. Otherwise it doesn't work that fast, it takes about 2 days to see them die and then I resprayed in a week. Long story short use approx 4 ounces per gallon and it will do the job it's too bad the product only comes in a small bottle and the other is just too much money. I am from Madison Wi.

Spurge killer

Hey, it works! (But it also kills a tiny bit of grass around it already not drowned out by the spurge). For 2 years I was told by a Nursery that I had to apply a powder mixture that would keep spurge seeds from germinating the following year. It was a joke, I might as well have applied fertilizer to the &%$# spurge. Spurge Power works!

So far so good!
By George on 06/14/2017
Using to control spurge on centipede. This stuff is killing the spurge with minimal effect on the grass. Every previous year I have watched spurge take over my lawn and nothing else has seemed to affect it. Highly recommend!

I have a stand of violets growing in my daylilies. Looking for something to selectively kill the violets, but not harm the daylilies. - Central Virginia - Daylilies have begin to grow - Adjacent Lawn is fescue
Monterey Spurge Power should not be used on desirable groundcover or other ornamentals since it will likely cause damage to these plants.

Can I add spurge power now and add the Prodiamine weeks late ?
Timing is very important when applying pre emergent products such as Prodiamine 65 WDG so you want to be sure to apply before the weeds germinate. For the best timing on when to apply both products in your specific region, we would recommend contacting your Master Gardener at your local cooperative extension office.
Monterey Spurge Power can be applied to listed and warm and cool season species only as directed. Avoid applications to Centipede and St. Augustine unless injury can be tolerated. Avoid applications to unlisted turf species.
No, Monterey Spurge Power does not list buffalograss as tolerable species on the product label.

I have Bermuda will it make the grass brown as it kill spurge?
Monterey Spurge Power should be applied when the targeted weed is young and actively growing (and temperatures are above 55 degrees). Ester formulations work better in the cooler temperatures. For Bermuda, apply at the rate of 1.0 to 1.25 fl. oz. in 2 gallons to 5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. When treating warm season lawn that is completely dormant, the higher rates may be used. When treating warm season lawn that is actively growing, use a lower rate. Avoid applications to warm season lawn during transition from dormancy to green-up or green-up to dormancy.

Once the wild violets and other weeds are presumably dead, so I need to dig them up? Till the soil? What do I need to do to “clean up” the area before I start planting things such as hostas and azaleas in that area? I know to wait 4 weeks after application before planting. Just curious on what to do after they're dead.
Yes, it would be recommended to manually remove any dead weeds from the application of Monterey Spurge Power to allow room for new desirable plants to grow. Tilling the soil will help loosen it up and encourage proper drainage in the future.
Please review the product label for more information.
I'd like to give our lawn a spring boost with Scott's Spring Weed and Feed in March/April. Is it safe to follow up with Spurge Power a few weeks later?
Monterey Spurge Power is a post emergent that should be applied when weeds are actively growing and would not interfere with an application Scotts Weed and Feed application as long as you do not exceed the application rate per label.
For precaution, we typically suggest waiting 7 days between treatments to avoid overstressing the lawn.
