At first it was only in a few spots in my front yard, but now it is everywhere. The centipede grows through it but it has to be hurting the grass.

What can I spray it with? When?

Thanks.

Edit: Holy huge photo. Anyone know how to make the pic smaller?

I have that as well, it showed up big time this year after I sprayed with atrazine and 2,4d in the dpring.

After the image URL but before [/image], you just have to add a space then width=600 for 600 pixels wide:

Replacing [ with {, example:
{img}example.com/example.jpg width=600{/img}

Fertilome Weed Free Zone will kill that with the quickness. Virginia button weed too

I have a ton of it as well...atrazine is cheap and will kill it pretty easily...

not sure I would mess with it this late in the year though, as you are gonna leave some bare spots in the yard that won't fill in before winter...I would spray the shite out of it in early spring when the grass can cover...

I've got it too. 2,4D will kill it, but it's my understanding that it grows in hard, packed yards and that you need to aerate in order to keep it under control.

Does anyone know what this is, or how to get rid of it?

The problem is if I get rid of it most of my backyard will be barren.

ETA: what are all the different types of grass in my yard?
