Appreciate it. I know it is generally frowned upon to use weed and feeds, are pre-emergents similar? Lesco makes a 30-0-5 with .21% Dimension included. Think this is any good to use?

...sorry for hijacking thread!

I used to work for Scotts. The reason they formulated weed and feed products is because people will buy them. Scotts is a great company and this isn't bad mouthing them.


So how do you kill weed infestation in an otherwise healthy lawn of St. Augustine Floratam.

You'd spray it.

I did granular barricade on my lawn about a month ago. However that was because I was lazy. I didn't feel like going up to my office and grabbing a truck and then go home and spraying it and then going back to my office. I just took a bag home.

In BR. Feb 15 put down preemerge with Dimension . Feb 25 put down post emerge with Atrazine for winter weeds. Don’t put nitrogen down till tax day. Go to Site One on Exchequer in BR .They will give you a month by month guide for what you need to put on your yard based on grass type.Claude is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Exactly what I’m doing later today - with Spectracide Weed and Feed attached to a hose. Hopefully it’s more effective than Image with a pump sprayer.

For weed killer I'd start with msm. The msm I use is Manor.
If I am to spray this across the whole yard what would be the proper ratio per gallon?

Haven't received it yet to look at instructions but just curious on if you have a recommendation.
