Applying a Pre Emergent

Sup, bros.

new user here. first post on this site/forum.

I'm sick of looking at my shoddy yard every single year, which is basically half weeds and half some kind of Bermuda grass.

I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas (wooo pig) and my bermuda is whatever kind all the new home builders use (my lawn is about 3+ years old (was sodded)


Im going to attempt to make my yard look like something this year, and from what ive read a Pre emergent herbicide is the step I should be on right now.

I think I'm far enough north that I can still apply it and it be effective.

I have a Scotts Standard broadcast spreader.

I went to Lowe's yesterday and found a Scotts Halts crabgrass granules pre emergent only bag that was about $15 bucks (and i figured that size bag would cover my yard for two applications per year - once now, one in the fall).

The main ingredient in that is Pendimethalin (1.71%)

Is this a good product to use in your opinion?

link to product page: http://www.scotts.com/smg/goprod/halts-crabgrass-preventer/prod90026/

in reading the list of weeds on there and googling the images, i get virtually all of those i think at some poing in the year in my yard. so im praying this will keep a lot of it from growing.

Thoughts? Suggesstions?
