How to Make Plaid Lawn Stripes

I decided to change it up and go with Plaid Lawn Stripes. You can do this with or without a lawn striping kit, but I’m using the checkmate lawn striper. It puts down solid stripes every time.

Plaid is similar to diamond stripes, except you are making them square with the edges of your lawn and you are NOT doing the 3rd pass. For more lawn striping check out the lawn striping playlist:

Followup Tenacity Application to Kill Nimblewill in the Lawn

Killing Nimblewill takes multiple applications of Tenactiy. Once you have a blanket spray, you’ll want to followup spray every 10 days. Mesotrione (tenacity) works great against nimblewill and bentgrass, without damaging the lawn.

The Effects of Tenacity on Weeds

Tenacity (mesotrione) has an interesting effect on weeds – they turn white! It’s pretty wild actually. Most other herbicides will turn weeds brown, but the white effect is noticeable and unique.

It also makes followup sprays very easy. The white sticks out on the grass, and if you use blue marker dye it’s super easy to see where you sprayed.
