Can anyone give me an idea of how to approach my lawn? I have sprayed the winter weed cocktail a few weeks ago and I just put down some fungicide.

Honestly, looks like pretty much everyone else’s lawn after last summer!

You can try applying a thin layer of peat moss and applying a fert with a higher rate of phosphorus and potassium. Something like a 20-20-10 would be my choice. It could have been take all patch or drought related. Difficult to tell from the pictures. I'd also consider getting a bottle of Celsius based on the fact that you have dicondra in your lawn

yep. Half of my neighborhood's St. Aug looks like this bc it died in the drought and is currently being taken over by weeds and common bermuda.

Still fighting this stuff.
I think I started with MSM too late last year and it didn't phase it.

What is dichondra a sign of? compacted soil? water logged areas?

Should I spot treat with Celsius or just the areas with dichondra?

I like Celsius for dicondra. It’s not really associated with anything other that a thin area.

Spot treat the only areas that have weeds.

And where do you get 20-20-10? Having some trouble finding that exact fert available online.

Eta: Maybe a dumb question but I guess I could just get 20-0-0 and 0-20-0, etc. And do an application of each?

I'm also reading that when dealing with fungus a foliar feed is better? It seems that all the liquid products I see online are made for bulk applications and I don't want to burn my lawn by getting my measurements wrong.
