5 stars for domyown.com. Tenacity had yet to work. Second application today. Hoping for better results.

I only applied it 2 weeks ago and it seems to be working. It takes bit longer then most of the other herbicides that I have used in the past. Don't get discouraged if a week goes by and you don't see any change, be patient Can't say much more until I see the end result.

Crabgrass has been overtaking my lawn and just about everyone else has the same problem in my neighborhood. Tenacity attacked and killed most of the crabgrass pretty quickly. It is working on other weeds at a slower pace it seems. I do believe the lawn needs a second treatment which I will apply before Sept. 1st. I will update this review after that. I used a surfactant and a dye with this product. Looking forward to using Tenacity as a pre emergent next spring.

After two treatments most of the bent grass is white. 50% of the crab grass is also white. There is no change in my turf grass. I is good that I am able to target the bent grass with out killing my turf.

Worked as it was supposed to. Instead of creeping bentgrass turning white (lack of chlorophyll) it just turned brown and died - or so I assume. Waiting to overseed affected area in the fall and then we will see what happens next spring. The only shortcoming is the way they provide to measure the amount of Tenacity needed. It is a somewhat thick liquid and quite a bit "sticks" to the dropper. Then you cant get it out of the bottom. Seems there should be a better way to do this.

Use this and speed zone for crabgrass and wild violets. Weeds will turn white within a week. Good stuff!!

I've used this product before and it worked well on keeping my creeping bent grass in check, unfortunately it's back, my fault since I spot spray with a 1 gal pump sprayer and can't see everything. I am spraying in the fall when the bent grass has already done it's damage, I am hoping this will prevent it from coming back in the spring.

Mixed the three solutions sprayed on lawn as per instructions and it took about a week to activate and suddenly all the clover crab grass and dandelion's started turning white. Good bye nasty weeds! This is a great find my neighbors will all be ordering soon thank you again. I have tried many other chemicals to get ride of clover nothing worked I would never use the nasty toxic stuff from Monsanto, this is the safest solution I could find.

I almost went with 5 stars but I just dont know enough yet. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow from the first time that I used Tenacity. After 1 week, my crabgrass began turning white. I just noticed yesterday that the clover weeds had begun turning white. I have some other weeds in my grass (not sure what they are) but i don't think I've noticed them turning white yet. This is only my first application and I used dish soap as a surfactant. I am thinking about investing in a true surfactant for my second application next week, we will see how it goes.

Easy to understand mix ratio. Effective weed treatment.

Did two applications per instructions with NIS 2.5 weeks apart. So far the dandelions are nearly gone and the chickweed is really stunted. Unfortunately only the very young clover has died off and even more clover has grown in the last 3 weeks. Any advise would help here.

After one day blanket spray I see the clover dying. But it didnt kill all the clovers. Have to back in 2 week to spot spray the one I miss. It did kill 80% of my clovers in my lawn.

Turned the creeping bent grass white in approximately one week. Only gave 4 stars due to the possibility of this invasive grass returning. So far so good.

I had been seeing a lot of you tube videos regarding tenacity and its effectiveness. So I decided to order it and see if it actual would work on my lawn (mostly Kentucky blue grass and Fescue) as a post emergent herbicide. Weeds like crabgrass, plantain, chickweed, spotted spurge and purslane were starting to take my lawn over. I followed the direction and mixed 1/2 teaspoon tenacity per gallon along with adding in 1 1/2 tsp of Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker Non-Ionic Surfactant and finally Turf Mark Blue Spray Indicator Dye (I did 1 once per my tank) to know where I sprayed. These measurements cover 1000 sq feet which is 1 gallon in the sprayer but I then adjusted these measurements for a 4 gallon tank (Chapin Tree/Turf Pro 4 Gallon BackPack Sprayer) . I applied when temps were under 85 degrees and made sure no rain or automated sprinklers would interfere with its effectiveness. I actually kept any water off of the grass for a week to make sure it had ample time to absorb. What I observed was that weeds after 7 days started turning white, that lasted another 5-7 days, then by the 3rd week most weeds had wilted and died. The one weed that tenacity did not effect was spotted spurge but should have paid closer attention to label as that is not a weed it covers. I gave tenacity 4 out of 5 stars since it doesn't kill all weeds -does not kill spotted spurge which means I have to supplement this with another chemical.

My yard has been overtaken by various types of weeds. Tried all the commercial stuff (Weed-B-Gone. spectracide etc) that are available at Home Depot and none yielded any result. I used Tenacity and many of the weeds were dead in 2 weeks. It was especially effective on crab grass. I have this one very invasive species that looks slightly like Mary's grass (not quite). My backyard was covered with it. Tenacity only killed small areas of it. Some leaves turned white while the remaining are still green. I guess I will have to apply one more time. The application left a lot of bare spots, not because it killed the grass, but because there was so much weed. Still, I am happy that Tenacity did a lot better than the big name herbicides from Home Depot.

Here in S. Florida I applied to Nimbleweed in St. Augustine grass a few weeks ago and it seems to be working. I applied at around 86 degrees and about a week later Nimbleweed appeared to be yellowing then turned white. Three weeks later it seems to have died. St. Augustine is still yellow but appears to be turning green again.

Tenacity is in the process of killing test areas of the crabgrass in St Augustine lawn. I only tried one gallon in certain areas of the yard. It does turn the targeted weeds pure white, so they show up for a couple of weeks. I also have cats claw vine mixed with the crabgrass and the new growth ends of it are red, I hope it kills that also. I put it on in the evening, but the temperatures hit 90's and it has also turned some of the St Augustine white. I was only trying it in patches to see how it would work. I plan to wait until it cools into the low 80's to try it again. It's affecting basket weave weeds also

Heard a lot about Tenacity. Figured I gice it a try as I have a lot of crabgrass. It only attacked about 25% of my lawn. It may need a second application. Along the way I studied that a healthy soil attacks or prevents weeds and grows good grass. I opted not for a second application b/c the crabgrass is soon to die any how. Instead of wasting chemical I decided to patch and overseed and focus on healthy soil and good watering practices.

I applied the product heavily (first time using). Bottle should have covered three acres, I only used it on 1.5. Had to apply second application with yet another bottle....this time applied in a real hurry. Took out all of the crabgrass, and 75% creeping charlie, but only about half of barnyard grass. Overall, better than other products I have used. Am concerned that some of the bluegrass has turned white, but it is not dead....at least not yet. LOL.

Product does what it claims and has been instrumental in containing our bent grass infestation (live near a golf course) along with a variety of other undesirable seasonal guests. Love that it does not permenantly damage ornamental grasses which are often intermixed with the invaders. Easy to apply and less toxic than the alternatives. Good communication, pricing and delivery from DoMyOwn.

This product definitely works. The Tenacity is pretty thick so you really need to get it mixed in. First couple days I didn't see anything but then the clover and other weeds started showing up yellow then white. I didn't have a flat tipped spray head, I would 100% recommend that. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that blue dye is a PITA. If you are spraying along edges of your lawn that have concrete I would recommend doing those areas BEFORE adding the dye. I was extremely careful but still had a few areas of overspray which I had to scrub off with a brush. The dye came off where the concrete was sealed but the other areas have lingering light blue stains now. Cleanup is a bit of a pain also. If you have a fairly square lawn and can easily keep track of where you've sprayed I would not get the dye.

I can't really rate this product by itself. The reason being is that I used this product in combination with Drive XLR8 and Bonide brush killer to nuke my yard this fall as a post emergent treatment. The reason I chose this product in my mix was because it covered the broadleaf weed category, and it did the job well. And The trio of product so far has done a great job. All the weed are dead in my yard, and the remaining grass is still healthy and ready to reclaim the lawn.

This is my second order. Used the first bottle last year during the summer, and it worked, turning weeds white. Going to use again next spring, hoping for better result

I found Tenacity to be effective against Nimblewill in St.Augustine lawns. Follow directions carefully. Repeat as directed and you should see a positive outcome. Before use, understand how Tenacity works and what to expect.
