Hey guys, hoping to get some advice on what I can do better next year regarding my St. Aug in the winter. I thought I had a decent plan over the winter but I missed the mark.

I am following the lawn care nut's warm season grass guide and put down the recommended amounts of prodiamine both in the fall and spring, but it didn't do the job. You can see in the photos that in the shady areas where my St. Aug is thin, it looks like I have a mixture of Rye and something else that just overtook the whole area. I can't seem to ID this second weed, is it Quackgrass?

Appreciate any tips on what I can do better next year. I am thinking about planting some wintercreeper in the shady area if there is no other option.

I love that guy. He geeks out so much on the simplest things.

You've got to rotate your pre em's. For St Aug in the fall I would use simazine.

That weed is rescue grass. Atrazine will knock it back. Certainty/Atrazine will kill it. It will also die once temps get in the 80's.
