Gordon’s SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer, 20 Ounces, 652400

I completely reseeded my lawn last fall. By march we saw lots of green, and by April it was lush and growing fast. Unfortunately by mid-april I also noticed speedwell weed throughout by lawn. In some sections where grass didn't take much it was 80% coverage, others it was just small bits. I got this product to test and hopefully solve the problem. I used a 1 gallon manual sprayer, mixing about 2-3 tbsp to the gallon, about what the directions listed. The first test I did was a small section of grass/speedwell mix to see if it would kill the grass too. After about 1-2 days, the speedwell was looking limp, slightly withered, and showing yellow color. The green lush grass was not affected visibly. After 3-4 days the speedwell appeared dead, withered and drying away beneath the grass. I started a bigger application across the main lawn, also with my manual sprayer still. There was a lot to cover. Results were positive after a few days, and I found the biggest challenge for me and my manual sprayer was just ensuring I hit all the speedwell, since it existed almost throughout the lawn. I repeated this process a few times, and the result is I am no longer walking row by row through the lawn, but now walking around looking for any remaining bits of speedwell instead to finish off. I will say, one small patch of lawn, about 2ft by 2ft, did yellow die as an overall result of this. This is out of multiple thousand square feet. I think I either went on too heavy or somehow double appiled there by mistake. So be gentle with this. The downsides, unrelated to the product--- there were parts of my newly seeded lawn that didn't seem to take, probably due to poor soil in sections, and in those sections it was 100% weed+speedwell. After applying this, I have some bare sections again lacking in green. I probably need to pickup a small bag of grass seed to re-attempt to grow there, or figure out why it didn't take previously. This bottle is high concentrate, I'm still on my first gallon of manual spray mix with just a few tbsp, and likely have enough for at least 20-30 gallons more as a wild estimate. It's still fairly expensive for a small bottle of weed killer though.

A few years ago I made the mistake of using unsterile top dressing soil, and ever since my lawn has been overrun with some of the toughest weeds around — clover, creeping Charlie, wild violet, speedwell, broadleaf plantain, and dandelions. I tried everything including Bayer All-in-One, but nothing made a real dent. Then I tried Speed Zone. Within about a week, everything was dead. All of it. I was genuinely shocked at how well it worked, especially on the wild violet and creeping Charlie which had laughed at every other product I threw at them. If you're fighting a stubborn, mixed weed problem and nothing is working, stop wasting time and money — Speed Zone is the real deal. It's the only weed killer I'll be buying from here on out.

This product really works great! I had some Virgina Buttonweed in my front yard which it seems is pretty difficult to control. I had been trying different things for over a year. This product killed it all in three days and he lawn still looks great. I followed the mixing instructions for use with a pump sprayer. About 1/2 hour of work and wait a few days and in three days the weeds are gone. Thank you Gordon's.

Pros: 1. Visible results in hours: This is not an exaggeration. I applied this product in the morning, took a nap, and woke up to find my lawn looking like it had been on a strict diet and workout regimen. It was like watching one of those time-lapse videos of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, but for my lawn. 2. Covers a large area: I own a pretty large property (don't mean to brag), and this product covered it all. It was like having a magic carpet that could spread over my entire lawn and transform it into a lush, green paradise. 3. Rapid and effective weed control: This product showed no mercy to the weeds. It was like a superhero for my lawn, fighting off the evil weeds and restoring peace and tranquility. 4. Does not harm lawn grasses: My grass seemed to love this product. It was like a spa treatment for them, leaving them looking refreshed and rejuvenated. 5. Cool Weather Performance: This product doesn't care if it's chilly outside. It's like the mailman of lawn care products - neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. Cons: 1. Too effective: My lawn now looks so good that it's attracting too much attention. I've had neighbors I've never spoken to before stopping by to ask what my secret is. I've even had a couple of garden gnomes go missing, presumably taken by envious neighbors. 2. Rapid results may cause shock: The transformation was so quick that I had a hard time recognizing my own lawn. I had to double-check my address to make sure I hadn't wandered into someone else's property. 3. May cause feelings of inadequacy: My lawn now looks so perfect that it's making the rest of my house look bad. I'm now considering a complete home renovation to match the beauty of my lawn. In conclusion, this product works a little too well. Use with caution, unless you're prepared to deal with the consequences of having the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood.

Killed mock strawberries in 24 hrs. Expensive, but effective.

Used as directed and it destroyed the nettles and clover along with some weeds I had not identified. Expensive but on this, you get what you pay for. Worked with one application versus the multiple applications I wasted time and money with on other products.

I purchased two other brands of weed killer for the dandelions in my yard and they only wounded, but did not kill the dandelions, mainly causing the leaves to turn a little yellow, but this killed them to the root. After I moved again, no more dandelions kept popping up. Sticking with this brand from now on.

It doesn’t kill as good as I thought it would. I’ll stick to roundup.

Killed some weeds, did not kill all. Very expensive failure
