Weed & Feed Question...

Second the weed free zone. That stuff works great.

Weed free zone would be great for clover, but it is so-so with the lespedeza. I have only found it at feed stores, not places like Home Depot.

Post emergent herbicide. Not fertilizer.
If you are near Covington, LA. Simpson sod on hwy190 has the bottle with hose attachment that covers between 20,000 and 40,000 sqft about eight dollars cheaper than other places nearby.

The bottle says wait 30 days before a second application.

You're just going to have to manage it with herbicides this year, hit it in the fall with a pre-emerge, and then hammer it with a weed and feed next spring.

Weed and feed is a preemergent, it prevents new weeds from growing. It does not kill existing weeds. Ideally you put down preemergent every 3 months to prevent new weeds from growing, it's especially important in the late fall and late winter to prevent winter and spring weeds. Once your lawn is in full Growth as long as you cut it at the right length (long and thick) this will prevent most weeds from growing. I just spray what few weeds I do get in the spring and summer or pull them.

So yeah, if you have a bunch of weeds now you will need to spray them. Generally sprays work by preventing weeds from obtaining water, so if it rains hard right after you spray you may need to spray them again.

I put out a few weeks ago and it killed my clover

Which pre-emerge do y'all recommend and when do y'all spray it?

If the stickers are already formed (which should be the case by now), you're too late.
