Lawn Weed Advice

Need to know what your turfgrass is

Spectracide Weed Stop works really well. If the weeds are in large spots you need to spray them then remove them by hand once they are dead. If they are in small spots, then they will die off and not come back without having to go back and pull them. I get the concentrated formula and mix it with my 2 gallon sprayer then go to work.

Do you spray it over the entire lawn or only on weeds?

I'm new to all this. In the past, I have had great success with simple weed-n-feed application, but that was before the flood when I had a strong fairly weed free lawn. Now its a f*cking mess. I feel like I need to get a little more focused to get back to where I was.

How about for Emerald zoysia?

Weed n feed is frowned upon in these parts of the interwebs.

Whole lawn, at rate of 2.5oz per gallon

Right now your main battle should be either winter broadleaves or winter bluegrass. Broadleaves can be handled with
Atrazine, WeedFreeZone, Trimec, Speedzone, and the like. Rates depend on you turfgrass. The label will direct you on this. Poa annua, or winter bluegrass, will die off with warm temps. Simazine will kill it now if you so desire. The broadleaf herbicides listed above will also kill lawn burweed, which later turns to your dreaded STICKERGRASS.

The atrazine and WeedFreeZone (made by Fertilome) should be carried at the big box stores

I can't remember off the top of my head, but look for the REI (restricted entry interval) on the label of whichever one you buy. It will tell you when it is safe for humans and/or pets to go back into areas sprayed. Sometimes it's once it's dried, sometimes it will be a certain amount of hours

I have centipede and am going to spray with the weed stop now.

When should I feed and what should I feed with if I spray weeds now.

Also, is there anything I can do to get rid of torpedo grass that I had from last year. I'm hoping maybe the freeze we had killed it, but I'm doubting.
