January-spot treat with atrazine and certainty for grassy weeds and trimec for broadleaf.

End of February-barricade pre em. Same weed treatment as before.

End of March/beginning of April-barricade. Manor for broadleaf and nothing for grassy.

Tax day-25-3-5 granular fert.

End of May-25-3-5. Spot treat with Celsius for broadleaf and grassy weeds. If grey leaf spot is present don't apply fert. Apply iron and propiconizole.

First of July-25-3-5 or iron. Celsius

Mid August 25-3-5 or iron. Celsius

First of October-specticle if that is too pricey then simazine. Trimec for broadleaf

Mid November-if you did specticle then nothing. If you did simazine then do simazine again. Trimec for broadleaf

December-I put down potash but a lot don't.

What's a plan like that cost roughly, out of curiosity? I ask because I obviously have St. Aug and wanted to start taking better care of it.

If you had to narrow that plan down to the bare necessities, what would it look like?

for the advice.

How much Atrazine per gallon of water? I couldn't find it anywhere on my bottle.

Won't doing all of that make the grass grow faster? Sounds counter productive.

Ronk, what brand 25-3-5 granular fertilizer do you use and where do you find it? I'm in the BR area.

What do you recommend for insect control for centipede? Lawn got smoked by something last summer and don’t want that to happen again.
