I read your article “Chores awaiting gardeners in March” in the Daily Oklahoman on March 1, 2010. I did not know that there was a liquid pre-emergent out on the market and was wondering if you could tell me the brand name of the liquid pre-emergent and where to buy it locally, I live in the oklahoma city area.

Sincerely Yours

Cameron, Thanks for reading the column. Double Play is a liquid pre & post emergent in the ferti-lome line by VPG. It contains glyphosate (Round-up) to kill anything green like winter weeds, up now in a dormant Bermuda grass lawn and prodiamine (Barricade) to kill crabgrass and weed seeds before they germinate. Do not use this product on a green lawn as it will kill your desired lawn in addition to the weeds. Always read the product label. I don’t know where in OKC you reside but this or similar products in other brands should be available at TLC, Precure’s, Horn Seed, Marcum’s Nursery, Eckroat seed and other good independent nurseries in our area.

Have a great spring!
