1) The Weeds were Fred Cole's (later founder and frontman of the legendary Dead Moon) second band but the suits being suits forced the band to moonlight under the cutesy Lollipop Shoppe tag to lure in sweet-toothed teens. Thankfully, the sound doesn't change from name to name; this is tough, acid-laced garage rock from the cradle of the sound, the Pacific Northwest. The Weeds gained notice in garage rock circles, and their only single, "It's Your Time" b/w "Little Girl," has become a collectors' favorite. It is a snarling, raw example of '60s punk, and the a-side appeared on one of the Nuggets anthologies.

2) Indie band from Boston, Massachusetts featuring ex members of Transit, Defeo, Late Nite Wars, Life And Limb and Sleepsick. Their début EP, Roots/Routes, was released on Feb. 26 through Cat Skull Records. Exclusively distributed by No Sleep Records.

Right on! - That girl is tellin' you to call her on the
Telephone - She said I wanna see you tonight can we
Get it on? I know that you've been itchin' and there's no one home to say no

Know you're scared, but honey I can make it better just
Be prepared because I'm coming for you
Hold onto something don't lose that grip
Now we'll escort the people into the trip

Lay down and sell your life to me
Break down I'll make you feel alright
Sell your soul to buy your ticket tonight
Tomorrow's gonna come around and
Catch you in flight!

Don't Stop - She said now go a little faster won't you
Turn it up because they're playin' my song I can't
Get enough - it's gonna end in a disaster
So make it last 'cuz I'm not comin' back
She said!

Lay down and sell your life to me
Break down I'll make you feel alright
Sell your soul to buy your ticket tonight

Tomorrow's gonna come around and

I have to say, the lawn you sprayed and the lawn that you showed 7 days later, did not look like the same lawn at all. Of course there were no land marks or reference points
that would confirm this either way.

Errol Byam

Not only did it look different, you did not show the whole lawn like you did before.

How To Video Channel

It’s definitely the same place, but you’re right. The lawn looks totally different due to the treatment. No weeds makes a huge difference in the appearance.

Thank you! Very informative. I love the before & after!

How To Video Channel

If you have a lot of weeds I would hit them with a second application in about a month.

Also, check out some of my other lawn videos for some good tonics you can apply.

Crista Magsee

@How To Video Channel I did my front & backyard around 6pm today. It was still bright outside. I know this is quite toxic so I decided to put on my hazmat, face shield & gloves because it was a little bit windy. I followed your instructions to a “T.” Do I need a second application or once is enough for the whole summer?

I have the most dandelions & clover leaves in the neighborhood. I was planning to hire a lawn company. Your video changed my mind. I’m excited to see the outcome after 7 days.

Thank you so very much for this nice informative presentation. Should I repeat the spraying method to get fast result like less than a week or so?

How To Video Channel

5y↑3

Yes, I definitely suggest doing a couple applications. Do the second one a couple weeks later.

can you use it in hot temps like august? and how often can you use it? great job! i thumbed it. also, will new 'grass' bermuda, grow in the dead weeds place, or just brown spots will appear? thanks!

How To Video Channel

Yes, you can use it it hot temperatures. However, apply it in the morning after the dew dries. If you wait too late in the day then the hot temperatures could evaporate some of the product making it less effective.

You’ll have a lot of dead spots in the lawn. Some of the good grass will eventually spread, but it’s best to overseed the lawn before the first snowfall or in the fall when temperatures are cooler.

I used the Spectracide hose sprayer and it killed nothing, no dandelions, no clover - nothing. Used Weed B Gone in tank sprayer and it killed everything. Just my experience.

How To Video Channel

Thank you!

Doug H

My lawn looked like yours and 100% it works.
Wait 6 weeks after the weeds are gone and put good seed and fertilizer down

How To Video Channel

Yes. Next season you’ll have a great lawn!

Does the level of liquid in the bottle lower as you apply it to the lawn?
I just sprayed about 4000 SW ft and the level is still at about 30 oz.
Some of the product dripped onto my hand while applying. It is brown and smells like dead fish. When I smell the water coming out of the nozzle, it just smells like water.

@Agent Office I had a faulty nozzle so the manufacturer sent a new one to me.

Agent Office

It does empty. I was confused too

How To Video Channel

4y↑1

Awesome! It’s a great company. They stand behind their products even after you use them!

Jim Wellman

4y↑1

@How To Video Channel thanks. Ended up calling the company and they are sending me a new nozzle. I don't have time to wait so I measured it out, put it in a backpack sprayer, and got after it

How To Video Channel

4y↑1

There must be something wrong with your suction. You should be spraying the liquid on the lawn thereby reducing the level of liquid in the bottle.

Deena Korkees

Thank you for the video, however i noticed some discoloration on my grass after applying the product, is that normal?? Would it recover after?

How To Video Channel

It’s possible that the grass that has yellowed is actually a type of weed:

M. H.

Old video so I hope you see this question. Can I mow the lawn first? Its April and my grass is getting pretty long. Since I have to wait 7 days to see results, I'd like to mow it first so it's not annoying to the neigbors. Would that be ok?

How To Video Channel

3y↑1

You’re welcome!

M. H.

@How To Video Channel You rock! Thanks soooo much!!!

How To Video Channel

3y↑1

Yes, you can mow the lawn first. That won’t hurt anything. In fact, it may even help. Since cutting the grass will open up the blades it may help the solution be absorbed.

Therefore, I’d spray it on the same day you mow. Then wait a week and if you have a lot of weeds, spray on another treatment to really knock em dead!

Go ahead make our day Scooter & Peanut

I used this for dandelions and clover and destroyed all the dandelions and about 60% of the clover but a second application 4 weeks later took care of the rest of it.

How To Video Channel

Awesome!
Thanks for sharing your results!

Can I apply this after applying Scott’s weed and feed granules 2 weeks prior ?

How To Video Channel

For sure!

John

Thankyou sir for a wonderful video.
May I ask. What of we have more weed even after spraying weed stop. Should we do another application of it. Also when should we start seedingfor grass.

How To Video Channel

You’re very welcome!

John

@How To Video Channel thankyou very much sir. I live in Memphis TN.
I will definitely contact the company. Thanks alot for your valuable advise.

How To Video Channel

Definitely do another application. If the first application didn’t kill any weeds then contact the company for a refund. You may have had a defective bottle.

Generally it’s best to overseed in the fall so the snow melt packs the seed into the soil. However, depending on where you live this may not matter.

If that’s the case, wait about a month or until you’ve mowed the lawn a couple more times to add new grass seed.

Duong Vo

I applied this product at noon two days ago. At that time, the temperature is lower than 90 degree. However, there was a rain around 6 hours after application. The product did not work. Do you need to mow your lawn before applying this product?

Duong Vo

@How To Video Channel could you give me that phone number please? By the way, this product should work in between 45-90 degree without rain and dont need to mow?

How To Video Channel

You don’t need to mow your lawn before splitting the product. If you don’t notice any results, contact the company for a refund.

BOSS

What are the steps after spraying the weed killer? Do i water the grass the next day? After a week, do i mow then dethatch. After that aerate then seed?

How To Video Channel

Great question!
After spraying the weed killer wait a week to make sure all of the weeds are dead. Then mowing and dethatching would be a great idea to open up your lawn.

At that point you have two options. You can either aerate and seed right away. Or, if you live in a place that has snow in the winter, then you can wait until before the snow to overseed the entire lawn.

So after the weeds die do you suggest taking in order to get the dead weeds removed?

How To Video Channel

I usually allow the weeds to die and leave them alone. However, if you have a lot of them then you may want to rake the yard or thatch it to remove most of them.

Then, scatter some good perennial grass seed and make sure to water and stay off of it so that it grows.
