I sprayed weed free zone 3 weeks back or so but now this is what I am dealing with. Thoughts? This was sod laid down in December if that helps....

Should i hit it with some fertilizer to start promoting grass growth to try and choke the weeds out?

Aby opinions on when to do some lawn aeration?
I need to aerate some areas around a big oak that are spotty and hard packed.

The best thing about Celsius is you can use it in the summer when the temps are over 85 degrees. Be very careful on your application rates though

Interesting. I just bought a new place, and it appears to have not been sodded when built 10 years ago, and the yard is a crappy hodgepodge of St. Aug, Bermuda and a wide variety of weeds. If I played weed bingo with the pictures in this thread, I might have won. 
I've always inherited really nice, mature St. Aug lawns like the one I grew up with, and I really don't like the Bermuda. Can any of you guys in the know make suggestions on how to help the St. Aug take over the areas with Bermuda? My other house that I'm trying to sell, the St. Aug is so healthy I can't keep the runners off the damn pavement, now I'm dealing a yard full of garbage.

I would spray entire yard with atrazine, that would take care of your weed problem as atrazine is both a pre and post emergent herbicide. Actively growing bermuda is not tolerant of atrazine. It will turn it yellow and knock it back. Now it will probably come back bermuda is hard to kill. But if you can get st Aug healthy enough it should choke most of it out with help from atrazine.

I'm dealing with a virginia buttonweed problem in my bermuda right now. That's one weed that is very hard to control.

Celsius or metsulfuron now, and again in a month or so.

Sounds good. I remember atrazine from my days working at the St. Gabriel research station. With the ladies from the Correctional Institute. 
The things I did for $2.10/hour.

St. Gabriel's still making atrazine, and simazine the ladies from down the road don't come by anymore though.

I have a lot of crabgrass in a new clients lawn that I would like to spray msma on asap. I've never sprayed it with Temps below 90. What kind of results should I expect spraying next week with Temps in low 80's?

Wtf is my grass dying like this all over my yard? Turning red as it goes...

We have had rain for the past 3 days in shreveport. With the grass saturated should I apply weed and seed now or wait til the grass dries out?

Can someone tell me what this is and how to eradicate it from centipede? I've always assumed it to be crab grass and could only kill it with roundup

Looks like Vasey Grass to me. And yeah, roundup is the best option for that.

I bought a ph kit and found my soil to be around 7.5
I have centipede grass which likes an acidic soil around 5.5-6
What is the recommended treatment?
I was reading about ammonium sulfate I believe as being a good option. Is this easy to find?

Lowering pH is something I have very little experience with...Let me check in a few books and try to get back with ya
Posted on 4/20/15 at 8:33 am to bootlegger
I'm gonna do a second test to confirm the first
Looks like lowering ph is a battle

So my back yard looks like a wild weed field. Should I just burn it or put atrazine all over? Should I do it today or right before rain? I hate my centipede, is there something better that is foot traffic tolerant and gets part sun throughout the day?
