My yard has clovers and dollar weed and about 6 diffrent types of grass. I usually cut it once a week, I messed up and used bonus s weed and feed one year to try to improve the look of my lawn. After using the weed and feed I then had to cut my grass at least twice a week or it would be knee high. Took care of the clovers and dollar weed though.

I have used it for the past 4 years with incredible results. I even used it the year that they changed the formula and burned a lot of yards. Home Depot had placed new spreader settings on the bags before I put mine out and I was fine.

I just put a full bag out yesterday actually. This rain is perfect.

I've used it for years. Put your mower on one of the highest settings and your yard will look amazing

Still too early to wed n feed. Most of your grass is still dormant. All you will be doing is weeding. It's perfect time to spot spray your yard.

Beware of using any product with atrazine yearly. I could build up over time and kill your trees if you have any.

ETA one application should be fine

It is good stuff. This year I just used some premixed Spectracide spray to get rid of the clover, weeds, etc. It did a great job, and it only costs about $8.

I think my yard is about 80% weeds right now. Grass went dormant, and every time it rains, the weeds make a big move

Same thing happened to my yard. That damn stuff nearly killed some of my trees. Definitely killed some of my knockout roses.
I heard Dan Gill say they changed the Herbicide in it. We had so much rain that spring it caused the herbicide to release all at once. My yard still hasn't fully recovered.

Did you make a claim? As bad as it was, I heard the people who made claims were happy with their results.

It burned my yard, I made a claim. They sent an adjuster out, measured the yard and within a week sent me a release and breakdown. They gave me 12k for my front yard. It would have cost that to have someone dig up the old sod and install new.

But I laid a couple pallets myself in the worst spots and we just cut it and watered that summer (two ago). It looked like shite all summer and fall but by then we started spot spraying and feeding after talking to Johnny Naylor and by last Spring it was fine and had come back. It is centipede. We were happy with the settlement and they jumped right on it and never balked. Probably 5 on my street alone and a dozen other people I know.
