It's still too early to weed and feed right?

What can I do to get a jump on making my yard look better?

WeedFree Zone, Trimec, etc. Fertilize when grass comes out of dormancy.

Yeah, keep it mowed close, and the grass will eventually take over.

I used weed-be-gone last winter and I thought it only harmed the clover without actually killing it. Well, it did not come back this winter, so I guess it worked.

I've been spot treating with WeedFreeZone and it has been doing very well. I will also fertilize and spread greenmax when the grass comes out of dormanc. Really hoping for a nice lawn this spring/summer

My yard took a turn for the worse last weekend. I'm going to treat it with something this weekend, even if it is a 55 gallon drum of diesel fuel.

Depends on what you spray. Most are labeled to allow re-entry once they are dry. Always read your labels.

About to hit up the local hardware store. Going to hit the lawn (Centipede) with something this weekend.

Hoping to find something friendly for junior and the dog.

March isnt to early to weed

Get you a tub of roundup and spray em down. Then its much easier to pull them out by the roots
