Hello OB, I know I will sound dumb for asking this but I will. I just moved into a new home and this is really the first yard Ive had to keep up. The backyard has a bunch of those yellow flowers (what are these?) Should I make a pass with weed and feed? If so, what do I need to know? Does yard need to be damp? Rotary spreader? Help a new guy out.

Mow it a lot, like every week.

I normally weed, not feed, and that works for me. My lawn seems to do well without fertilizer. If you decide to fertilize, be prepared to mow more than once a week in the summer. You may regret the decision in decision in August.

Yes, go ahead and get some Scott's bonus s weed and feed and a rotary spreader.

Yard should be dry when you put it out but must be watered in right after.

Also, raise your mower height to the highest setting and mow frequently and your hard will look great

This is my centipede lawn in baton rouge

figure ill throw this question in here...

I fertilized about three weeks ago, not really seeing any results from it yet. should i be seeing results already?

I think i went a little light on the application so that may be the issue. Should i reapply?

You are going to get a shitload of responses saying its too late. I'd go ahead and do it anyway. We've had late cold this year and my theory is that the weeds are later in arriving also. I've applied it late in past years and had great success. My neighbor gets pissed every year because my front yard is green and his is white with clovers.
