    Easy to use for First timer!

    By Lg on 03/14/2017

    Research enough on this stuff to be an expert. Conversion was easy when using Google. I used a little pill cup with tablespoon, ML, oz markers to properly mix the product. Took the average of the label recommendation @ 0.185-0.55o oz per 1000 sqft. Came out to ~ 10 ml per 1000 sq ft in 2 gallons of water. Took 3.5 refill @ 2 gallons of my E-sprayer. But was done in <1 hour for 7K sq ft yard. It rained the next 2 days so hoping to see no crab grass or other weeds when April hits

    Prodiamine 65 WDG Is a Blessing to my Centipede

    By Anonymous on 06/10/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I sowed my grass in April of 2012. It was used for crops prior to building a house and seeding. I had the ability to water and thankfully received a good amount from the Big Man. However, I kept noticing that the highest part of my yard, didn't come up as expected. Crabgrass outgrew the centipede so I was left with a major problem. In March of 2013 I applied Prodimine 65 WDG to prevent the crabgrass from coming up. It worked great!!!!!! The spaces where my grass hadn't came up, were now dead and the centipede was able to grow across. My yard is not fully covered, but should be by the end of the growing season. If I hadn't sprayed, the crabgrass would have came up and the centipede wouldn't have been able to spread like it did. I used about 1 pound per acre. In the lower parts of my yard the centipede came up really good last year. As I speak, the crabgrass is starting to come back in the lower part because it is very heavy and fertile soil. You could literally grow anything on it. I wish I would have applied the whole 2 pounds per acre so I would have had a residual of approx. 8 months. Lesson Learned. I highly recommend to anyone who is having a weed problem. I am a happy customer!!!!!

    5th Season using Prodimine

    By Joe on 01/21/2015

    Verified Purchase

    I spray 8 acres every winter using this product. It does an outstanding job as a pre-emergent for crab grass and annual blue grass. I tank mix this product with glyophosphate and trimec, my Bermuda turf look great.

    Lawn treatment for Fox tail and crab grass.

    By Ray on 04/10/2016

    Used this for the first time spring of 2015. Mixed 4 oz. per 15 gallons in my sprayer. Laid out the yard in 1/4 acre sections using google earth. Have been fighting fox tail for years. After using Prodiamine had no weeds in the treated areas. Didn't do another application in late July like I should have so had some fox tail show up in the fall. In 2016 will do two applications and plan on great results.

    Works well on Poa Annua/Annual Bluegrass

    By Tom on 04/16/2016

    My Tall Fescue lawn was under heavy attack by poa annua. Frankly, I think it came in from all the fescue seed I bought and laid in the last couple years. I mixed up a recommended solution in a Northstar 16 gal. sprayer w/ electric pump, attached to my lawn tractor and gave my 1/2 acre backyard a treatment last fall, around Sept 15. We had plenty of rain to soak it in. I would say the Prodiamine was 90%+ effective in preventing germination. I did pull about a dozen plants, however, this spring. Also, it must have got about 100% of the "winter weeds" because I don't see any at all, like chickweed. I know it worked because a spot I missed way in the back sprouted a huge crop of poa annua which I will get this fall. Poa is a formidable enemy. My front yard will get the treatment this fall, anytime after Sept 1. (Raleigh area). I put Prodi down in Feb this year on the front lawn to control crabgrass and thus far haven't seen one blade of crabgrass, but it's a bit early yet. This stuff works. Getting the mix right takes a bit of brain power because the instructions are not especially clear.

    So far so good

    By Jed on 02/08/2018

    Over the last 3 years I had a growing poa anna problem. Every year, it got worse no matter what I did. I used granular from the box stores at double the rate, it didnt matter. I put down prodiamine last sept at the .4 oz. / 1000 sq ft. rate. So far, the yard looks great. No poa anna, no henbit that would usually be showing up. This stuff works!

    First year user & palan to use for many years to come!

    By Chelly on 06/29/2016

    I decided to purchase this product based on all of the good reviews we saw here & on other sites. We made the right decision! Not one blade of crabgrass. Not one weed at all! It's been a little over over 6-7 weeks since application and we are getting all kinds of compliments on the yard this year! Someone told my husband that he didn't deserve me while talking about the yard. LOL Very easy to apply with my new trailer sprayer!

    Effective Pre-emergent

    By William on 08/25/2016

    Have been using Prodiamine 65 WDG for the last 2 years and it has done a phenomenal job. Although a few weeds pop in-between applications, they are easy to just pick out myself and toss in the dumpster. The alternative of using a post emergent every 30 days is a poor way to control weeds and crab grass.

    Large Lawn

    By J. on 05/13/2017

    I have used this product for several years and it has done a great job of controlling summer weeds and crabgrass in lawn areas. I use a 25 gallon spot sprayer so it takes about a day to treat about 4 acres. I have found that it is best to premix the product . It is also important to keep the tank mix agitated.

    Works in my St. Augustine yard

    By Matt on 04/29/2016

    I follow Randy Lemmon's schedule in caring for my St. Augustine (Raleigh) yard. His schedule calls for applying Barricade 3x a year. After several years, the difference along my property line compared to the neighbors is night and day...nearly no weeds at all, just wild Bermuda that we all fight down here.

    Use only if you care about your lawn looking great

    By Sooner on 03/16/2018

    Read the label and follow directions. This is the best pre-emergent for cost. This is cheaper than a buying a fertilizer mixed with pre-emergent. I used to spend extra on dimension, but this works as long as you get it down early.

    Great product!

    By Richard on 03/02/2020

    This is my fourth year using this product. I put down two applications per year and my yard normally stays weed free. I do get a minimal amount of weeds which have been easy to combat with a post emergent product. Maintaining my property has been a learning experience which does take a good amount of time, but when I compare it to the high cost of a lawn company and see the results that I've been able to achieve, I feel that it's time well spent. At the same time, the customer service at "Do my own" has really been there for me with suggestions and solutions when I've had questions about there products. Hope this is a help to all!

    Works like a charm

    By Chris on 05/31/2019

    Purchased this product from domyown and applied it according to label instructions and this worked perfectly. The WDG works far better than just a granular premergent because you can cover the entire area vs hoping you've spread enough granules to cover the treatment area. Anyone giving this less than 5 stars either didn't apply it correctly or waited too late in the season. Thanks domyown!!

    Mixes Very Good

    By Gordon on 02/22/2019

    This was my first experience with this product - I was concerned about how hard it would be to get it mixed good. I used a small scale to measure .4 oz/K sq ft, very accurate. I used a gallon of cold water out of the faucet into a 5 gallon bucket and used a long paint mixer on cordless drill. It mixed very good just running the water into the bucket, probably didn't even need the paint mixer. I then poured it into a 4 gal backpack sprayer, added Turf Mark Blue and filled with water. With the marking dye, I got very good coverage on the 18,000 sq ft lawn.

    Good Product!

    By Roger on 12/18/2020

    Prodiamine 65 WDG is a very effective pre-emergent granular product. I used it in October of last year and had very few winter weeds. I used it in October of this year and so far have almost NO weeds in my large lawn of 2 acres. The 5 lb. jug will last a long time. I use 6-8 oz of product in 25 gallons of water and try to broadcast uniformly. I can easily tell when I miss an area by the weeds that come up in that area. It will also mix with some other herbicides. Optimal use in North Central Texas is probably Oct., Feb.,and May, but one select season is very helpful in controlling weeds of that season.

    Prodiamine

    By Troy on 03/27/2020

    Got quick, and product is great!! Weigh it out on a scale being it is a dry mixture. For a hand pump sprayer , I used 80 Grains weight for one gallon of water @ 1,000 square feet of grass , grass type is Tall Fescue And Blue Grass . Should provide about 2 months of control , A split type app. Reapply again after 2 months (Apply before rain, so it washes into the soil .) Plan you over seeding according to the app At the end of the protection of after the 2 months scheduled ... Measuring out in tiny bags for easy use of and label ???????? Best regards, Troy.

    Effective and economical

    By Rick on 09/29/2017

    I used this for the first time last Spring and was pleasantly surprised to have very few weeds for the entire season on all of the problem lawns I maintain. It's now almost October and I have seen very little Crabgrass,Spurge or Oxalis. I also like that it doesn't have obnoxious fumes while spraying as my 2nd favorite preemergent does.

    Great product !

    By Jose on 04/11/2019

    I came across this product on a Youtube page when doing a search for ridding my lawn of some nasty v-shaped tiny stickers. These things I believe we tracked into our yard from a local park, as we'd see them under our shoes. At first it was a small patch, which within weeks pretty much took over our yards. These were aggravating as they are small and stuck in our carpet and tracked inside under our shoes. I purchased this Prodiamine 65 WDG and sprayed as directed, and within a few weeks I noticed no new weed patched forming. The existing adult weeds, I treated with a store bought weed killer, and managed to clear my yard from this infestation. I've continued using this and have yet to see a return from this pest.

    prodiamine

    By Rick on 10/05/2020

    I bought this for a fall pre-emergent of crab grass & winter weeds. It is important to get it down relating to ground temperature & just before a rain to make sure it gets into the soil. You can not believe how fast this company shipped my order to me. So I was able to meet these requirements & I will be doing business with these people in the future.
