Warm winter preM application?

[gulfjoe]

I am in Columbus GA, and i was was planning to apply my PreM late this Feb, but with our unseasonably warm winter, and looking at the future outlook it doesnt look like its going to get cold again, should I think about applying my Grannular Lesco PreM earlier than the end of Feb?

I have seen people applying already down here. We have had some pretty warm weather. I am not too concerned since I had my fall app and I am still covered. Having said that Feb is just two days away

Spring per can't be put down too early most times. If its cold it will sit inactive until soil micros get active and start breaking it down

I'm hoping to start in a few weeks if not sooner.

With the Lesco Pre-M is there a commercial product or do you use the consumer product that is sold in the JD centers?

I buy it at the JD centers but it says commercial or professional I can't remember. I did put an app down in November. I am noticing very few broad leafs coming up.

This is what I bought today at the JDL. I dont know if this is commercial or Consumer. I am a DIY, my yard is my hobby. I sit and stalk these pages and soak up as much knowledge as I can and try to keep up with you professionals on here. When you say split apps what exactly do you mean. I know obviously it means 2 multiple apps, but are you using different products? I have celcius WG for post emergence control, but I know that is a Late may-August product correct. Can i get any use out of that here when early spring shows here is the 10 day forecast for my area. should I apply now or wait longer?

"Timing is everything" as Runner on here said. Early application now will take care of early germination of broadleafs, vetch and the like. Just realize that an early application will poop out sooner than a later application. Most pre-em have a longevity of about two month depending a lot on how much you put down. I'll be making applications in about two (2) weeks or so with Gallery and yet another with a monthly fertilization two weeks after green-up on the coast.

I'm in Carrollton. We started our 1st round 2nd week of January. It all depends what you put down on your last application. That's the key.

Depending on the weather over the next couple of weeks, I'm probably looking at starting mid-February with pre-emergent apps. I may try a granular mix of Evade and 19-0-3 fertilizer on a couple of fescue properties, killing two birds with one stone.
