re: 2019 Lawn Thread

Should I drop some weed and feed in my yard even if my grass is still brown. This time last year even with snow my grass was perfect. It started to green a little until the cold spell this past week. Finally cut it for the first time yesterday, should I drop some weed and feed? Or wait until it greens up first.

Now is the time to weed. Once weeds are gone and your turfgrass is active, feed it.

Spray the weeds, that way your turfgrass gets the main benefit on any fertilization

Need to know what weeds, and what type of lawn grass you have.

Sounds like you overdosed last time. Calibrating your sprayer so you know how much active ingredient you are spraying is very important.

Selective herbicides kill weeds, but too much can kill the good grass too. Different turf grasses can often use the same chemicals, but in different doses. Think of it like this: Tylenol is safe for humans, but that doesn't mean I take the same dosage as my 6 month old.

Wild geranium, dichondra, and clover. Hit it with Weedfreezone. Can be bought most any farm supply store or big box store.

I just sprayed 2-4D all over the place yesterday. The broad leaves are everywhere.

I had Poa in a few spots and I hit it with Image for nut sedge. It killed off the Poa really well last year.

Hopefully, Ill see some results in a few days. I had a bad sod-worm moth infestation last year. They chewed up a bunch of St. Aug before I realized they were there. The VBW came in behind it. I've got some work to do this year.

i sprayed altrazine, hooks up to a dual sprayer with setting, made real easy.

Alright fellas, I am starting from scratch build a house that finished in November and haven't been able to do anything until now. Live on a half acre. I will be planting some sod soon around the main areas of the front and back yard, and perimeter of the house. What kind of sod do you guys recommend and also should I seed the areas around the sod with something else? TIA

You the man!

Thanks so much!

One last thing:
I put the Milogranite down thinking the rain would set it. No rain. And none expected for a week.
Just leave it and reapply later, or water it this week?

Update: Weed free zone has managed to kill everything. Including the grass. Pretty sure I got my dosage wrong and over treated my yard....

So the splash of it I put in 1-2 gallons of water yesterday might be an issue?? frick.
