Weeds vs grass !!!!

Post by Pelouse » October 14th, 2019, 10:42 pm

Hi all, it has been a while since the last time i posted here.
Here is my issue i seeded my front yard without killing the weeds, it has been 3 weeks now the tall fescue is coming up pretty wells but this is not the only thing. By watering the lawn often the all yard is waking up weeds are out of control some strange lettuce looking like weeds, crabgrass..... :aikido: . What should i do ?

You should kill the weeds before you drop seed!!

Use an appropriate herbicide at an appropriate time after germination of the new grass. Read labels carefully and thoroughly for specific application to new seedlings. It doesn't need to be complicated.

And next time, yes, kill existing weeds before seeding and apply mesotrione as a pre-M to mitigate further weed germination.
