Msm Turf questions

I used some Ortho weed b gone a couple of months ago and was surprised how well it worked. We have gotten a lot of rain in the past week and a ton of what I think is Virginia button weed has popped up almost overnight. I have heard Msm turf is very effective for it but had a few concerns. First is it ok to use this time of year? I am in Savannah, Ga which is obviously a similar climate to south La. Also will it be safe for a combination of centipede and St Augustine(majority St Aug)? Also in suggestions on where to get it other than online? Amazon cant get it to me until late next week and I wanted to treat this weekend. Also any other overall tips? TIA

Yes to all, temp and your grasses, and I seem to recall there is a Site One Landscape in the Suburbs of Savannah that should carry it. In Baton Rouge some, but not all, independent retail garden centers carry it as do at least some sod suppliers, and feed & seed type stores often carry it. Maybe a Tractor Supply store? You’d need to check.
I should note if you read the label on MSM Turf it says don’t use at temps above 85 F but I’ve used it a higher temps safely and this was on the advice of horticultural professionals. If you find it, all the application rates will be in oz per acre. So you don’t have to do the math, 1/8 teaspoon or 0.5 grams per gallon + 2 tsp of surfactant for spot spraying will work. Be prepared for a follow up application in 3 weeks. Expect some temporary yellowing of St Aug and centipede but it will recover.
