Lawn Care................Not my Favorite Topic

[Rojo]

Seems this year when my feet hit the ground in the morning 5-6 tasks are already lined out for the day. Constantly doing repairs, improvements, or required Horticultural care.

This was my yard this spring. Out of nowhere this Silver Dollar weed among others just took over our backyard.

For me the organic stuff is out the window. I need Results! So I keep this herbicide around for killing stickers before they form seeds. It is called Speedzone. Some years we have a lot of sticker plants like this year some years we don't. I'm sure the 8-9 inches of snow was a shock to our lawn (carpet grass) but this is insane. Here is a link so you can learn about it. I mix 5 ounces to 15 gallons of water, add some dish soap, & a blue dye marker so I know where I sprayed. Speedzone really works and doesn't kill or even damage most grasses.



SpeedZone Southern Herbicide EW - 2.5 Gallon

Take a look at the dying Silver Dollar after 1 application and you can see the infestation.



I plan to Blog the lawn restoration progress. If you don't see anymore posts my lawn is too bad to post. I have 10#'s of Carpet Grass seeds (coated) on the way to over seed after the weeds are very dead. This stuff is really choking my grass out.
