Better start attacking that buttonweed now before it blooms. Then it really sucks, because you can only suppress it then.

Sure is. But catch it now with two doses of MSM about 4 weeks apart, and it's done for

Any ideas on what type of weed this is? I hit the yard with weed free zone a few weeks back and now this is the only type of weed that will grow.

I see some Dichondra in that clump, but hard to tell what the actual clump is. My guess is wild onion. Break some off and smell it.

Get a better picture of the leaf. At first it looked hollow like an onion. Now looks more of a flat, "V" shape like a sedge. Any seed heads on it?

Celsius is the best weed killer you can buy. It is around a hundred dollars but one bottle will last a long time. Don't know if it's been mentioned yet

Never used celsiuis, MSM is as good as celcius and a lot less expensive.

Growing Bermuda and hit it with the weed and feed just after I cut it at the beginning of the long Easter weekend. Rained like cats and dogs so we'll see if it washed it away too bad after a few days of only a light sprinkle.

How often is fertilizing and then Weed and Feeding too often? Should you do one or the other every four weeks, or what?

Hard to over-fertilize bermuda. It can take quite a bit of nitrogen, but using a lot of fast release will hurt your pH badly. Stay away from weed and feed. Identify your weeds, kill them, and then feed your Bermuda to fill in the void created. The best weed preventer is a healthy lawn out competing weeds.

Well remember I'm battling chunks of clay just underneath my single layer of sod. What type of fertilizer would you recommend as a general rule for Bermuda?

Best option is a slow release nitrogen source. But as a readily available option, 19-19-19 at about 100-150# per acre.
