Not all granular pre-emergents are the same. Doc explains why the DG formula of lawn preemergent is the best. The DG particles DO NOT dissolve like regular granulars. They disperse as soon as water hits them and they DON’T move after that. Mowing and raking will not move them.
There is a FULL PRE-EMERGENT ARTICLE that goes into detail about applying. The program that Doc uses is successful near 100% of the time at controlling weeds.

Application Rate
In the video above I used a 50 pound bag on roughly 16,000 sq ft. Then I’ll come back about 4 weeks later and spray the→ DIMENSION at the min rate as well. That’s about 3 pounds per 1000 sq ft.
Soil temp this past week hit 54 degrees FYI.
