Thanks to the H&G Board, I have picked up a ton of information over the past few years and my yard has been the envy of most of my friends. I fell off the wagon a bit on the preventative maintenance since the fall due to other projects which have consumed my time and I have a variety of weeds coming up in my yard that I want to squash. My go-to's have been the WWC (I applied in Feb. but obviously didnt do a good enough job), MSM for the Virginia Buttonweed, and Sedgehammer when needed.

I am not seeing any VBW or Sedges right now... would my best bet be to go back with more WWC or is it too late in the year? It is mostly broadleaf weeds and have some Poa coming up as well.

Should I follow up with some Prodiamine following the post-em application? I have some on the shelf.

Use MSM right now. You can put down a pre emergent. Some of the spring/summer weeds have already germinated but you can prevent more.

If it’s mostly broadleafs right now, you’d probably be best off going with a 3 or 4 way. Fertilome Weed Free Zone has a mixture of 24D, Mecoprop, Dicamba, & Carfentrazone. That's my go-to at the moment.

At this point it’s too late for prodiamine, you might see some success with dithiopyr. Most cost effective thing at this point is probably just post emergent control.

Is it okay to apply MSM to a lawn that has some damage from the drought last year? It's coming back well, but I don't want to slow its growth. However I do want to kill the weeds that are growing back.
