If you spray this everywhere, it will kill all of them

If you add a bit of dicamba to that, it will work much better! (That is a pro-tip, not a Big Chemical tip)

Thats good advice, i might need to switch to something that contains both after my current bottle runs out.  I always have problems with killing off all the existing weeds but 2,4-d amine doesn't work as well on preventing weeds from sprouting as dicamba does.  Got any favorite manufacturers that combine two such products in a shelf stable manner?

Can just buy separately and mix yourself.

No toxic mixture concerns?

Keep away from tomatoes and cotton. New grass seed won't grow for about a month. Farmers mix them all of the time.

This is for a scorched earth policy correct?  Not for getting rid of weeds in your already established grass.

Nope. Will not kill established grasses. It will inhibit new grass seed from germinating, hence the reason for not putting out fresh seed for a month or so after applying.

Plant it! Water a bit twice a day for a week and it will grow. Then water it once a day for another week. May not be perfect, but it will start to establish grass and it will keep out some weeds.

If you want to kill everything, just add roundup. The mixture of those three products is what no-till farmers use when they have a lot of henbit (purple flowers) coming out of winter. Since the henbit has already flowered and seeded out (think dandelions), roundup does not work that well, as the plant has done its biological function of reproduction, it is not translocation the roundup as well as it would when it is more actively growing. Adding the 2,4-D and dicamba provides the broadleaf weed control without needed to translocation within the plant the way roundup has to.

I read dicamba is also toxic to conifers?

Yes, don't spray any trees with it. I mentioned cotton and tomatoes because if you sprayed near them on a warm day it can volatilize. Just spray your lawn. It will kill the broad leaves. It won't kill a tree near where you sprayed. Don't spray when it's real hot or windy.
