So I just bought one of those soil test kits from lowes. Not sure if they are worth a shite but I need some help. Front yard is a weedy mix of st Augustine, centipede, and bare spots. Back yard is in pretty good shape. St Augustine with only a few bare spots mainly because of no sunlight. Both front and back yard showed a ph of around 5.5-6. They also showed to be very low in N and P, while K seemed to be normal or even a little high. Should I start with lime now? Then put down a fertilizer? TIA.

I put down my lawn weed preventative last week. All the broad-leave weeds appeared to be wilting or turning brown when I walked around in the yard Monday.

But we've gotten 6"-7" of rain since Tuesday night. Is that going to give my weeds new life before my St Augustine has a chance to take over? Should I apply more?
