Can I buy Confront and a spread sticker at Home Depot type of store? Is there any draw backs to using it?
I don't think so, but then again I don't shop for chemicals at H.D. I get Confront and S.S. at Lesco. I doubt you can get Confront at H.D. You can probably get something with similar active ingredients, but it will be less effective as it's probably not as concentrated.
I have also just planted new grass seed in some areas. It is ok to use with the new grass seed?
Probably not, but it's OK cuz the seed you just planted most likely won't make it through this summer anyway. Unless you're watering every day, the soil is perfect and you don't cut it below 3" high.
You'll probably end up having to visit Lesco or some other Turf supply house, kill the violets and then just deal with the patches till fall which is the best time to seed again.
Feel free to ask more questions, we're here to help. Just remember to look out for us and our pocketbooks when you need us.
Come to think of it. It may be more cost effective for you to hire somebody to spray for you. The smallest bottle of Confront I've ever seen is 1 gallon and it was ?$65? give or take a few $$, I really don't remember and the spreader sticker was in gallon jugs as well and that was like $14. You only use an ounce or two per gallon of water. So a gallon would be a lifetime supply for you.
Check with some local landscapers and have them come out and give you an estimate in writing and ask them what they will use. If you don't hear them say Confront and that they use a spreader sticker, don't hire them.
Whatever you do, don't use Trugreen/Chemlawn.
