Weed Identification – Identify 21 Common Weeds in Lawn
Weed identification is an important step toward weed control. I teach you to identify 21 common weeds in the lawn including crabgrass, dallisgrass, oxalis, …
Your weed video just earned you a like an a new subcriber! great video! just the sauce I needed!
i like creeping charley better than the other weeds i call yard.
Damn I wish I had a lawn tht big in nyc
Wood Sorrel mentioned at 5:22 in video…if I catch it before it really takes root, I can pull it out, and that works…however I have some spots in my yard where it has taken root, and I have not been able to kill it…any advice? From anyone…?
You talk about oak while pointing to a red maple.
Crabgrass
So basically what I've learned here…is that I don't have a BIT of damned grass in my yard anymore.
this was super informative, I learned a lot in 11 minutes
I’m in Fla and I know weeds very well, if not all their names. I think Fla must be the weed capital of the U.S. The sandy soil makes grass growing hard but weeds are much hardier. The most hated weed must be the sand spur.
GREAT INFO!!!
Nice!
Whoever came up with bahia as lawn needs a kick in the …… Ok how do you get rid of your bahia other than digging it up by the roots?
It would be nice just to know how to tell the difference.
Pull out invasive sand plant natives idiots!
Native Americans: Lets use these wonderful medicinal and food plants Suburban Americans: Lets spray toxins where Jimmy and Scout play
If you can't get the names on the run just turn on "caption" on youtube settings and it will show the names while running the vid…
Hold up… No disrespect to you. Because I really enjoyed this video and I think it helped me a lot. But your Identifying weeds right? As discribed, weeds are unwanted growth. Isn't poison oak and poison ivy unwanted growth??? Yet you don't know the difference? In your next video you mention either of the two, mention, "leaves of three, let it be" or kill it lol.
Thank you, very very informative. 👍
Well done Jason!
A little late seeing this. Very helpful video. I have Orchard Grass in my lawn. Any suggestions for dealing with it? Thanks!
I don't think Kyllinga is native to N. American soil. You have nutsedge. (Both are part of the spikesedge family though which is were the miss labeling comes from I believe.) Also kyllinga has a single cluster at the stem tip with (usually) only 3 blades sprouting off. There is a more spindly type (sort of like a spider plant) that has a cactus type pinecone on it, not sure on the specific name though. Pulling it will not kill it. It has a grape like cluster of 'seeds'(rizhome I think its called, not sure on spelling) that will remain in the ground and just grow back bigger next season. It will kill anything that grows near it. It also grows 2-4 times faster than any other type of lawn grass. It has triangular blades that almost look like crabgrass blades when they are young (under a few inches) but are much thicker. They are lighter in color than all other grasses(In NA at least), having a yellowish hue making it easy to spot in a lawn. Again similar to some crabgrass when a few inches tall. I just cleared an acre of the stuff last year. None of it has grown back at this point. Though it tends to show up in the warmer months so it's still a bit early to call where I live. I used Sedgehammer and Green Gobbler wetting agent(called weed killer boost) to help it stick. A bit pricey but well worth it. (Not a promotion or being paid or any of that.) There is no other store bought item that will kill this plant, at least down to the seed cluster which is the most important. I have spent the better part of two years studying this invasive weed. Hope this info helps any of you battling this nasty plant. Cheers!
Weeds discussed:
Virginia Buttonweed (Native to SE US) Goosegrass Lespedeza (Native to SE US) Wild Violet (Native) Fireweed (Native) Kyllinga (Native to SE US) Broomsedge (Native to E US) Dallis Grass Foxtail Grass (Native) Crab Grass Poa Annua Wild (California) Geranium (Native) Yellow Wood Sorrel (Native to N US) Creeping Charlie Bahia Grass Clover (Native) Field Madder Poison Ivy Poison Oak (Native to NE US) Virginia Creeper (Native) (Spotted) Spurge (Native) Crabgrass Yellow/Purple Nutsedge
If not specified the weed labeled Native is native to the entire United States. If these plants are native in your area, consider moving them to another spot so as to allow bees, butterflies, and moths to still use them.
I wudn't have a lawn if I got rid of all the weeds – thanks buddy!
This was a fricken EXCELLENT video. Thank you.
If it isn't grass, it's a weed. Saved you 11 minutes.
What about those white pollen ball things? When you blow them they disperse into a thousand pieces
If you have a bunch of weeds and they're bothering you, look at some wild foraging websites. A lot of the weeds are edible, nutritious and quite tasty. You don't want to eat them though if you use pesticides and/or weed killers. Eat the Weeds and Foraging Texas are two of my favorite foraging websites.
If is not grass, then I TRY to KIlL IT! Even Burmuda grass, I'll remove. Thank you for your time. Tenacity does work in most cases.
I have lots of clover in my back lawn the is mostly Kentucky bluegrass Blue grass and rye. I like the clover the only week I can't get of is Bugleweed ( Ajuga reptans ) any thoughts on how to get rid of it ?
They are not weeds. They are biodiversity.
"Spurge" sounds like a disease. It's the one weed that spurges my anger 😡
But when you back away…it's green 😁
This is a much more useful weed identification method than others. 👍
“If you can kill it, you don’t need to know what it’s called.” LOL! Does that apply to things other than weeds?
Thanks! I've been trying to identify the poa annua, field madder and others I have in my AL yard. I'm going to try out the Blindside herbicide.
Thanks, you learn something new everyday
You do know your weeds but you want to kill them,and i want to eat/use them. LOL

This was awesome! Thanks!
