Fire ants are fun. I don't think you have them up north. Little attackers. Unreal when you get a platoon of them on your foot (or child). They are kamikaze biters, will bite relentlessly until you kill them. Amdro is the solution.
So, you don't really have to kill the weeds, just encourage the St. Augustine to grow and it will overpower everything in its way.
That's because what Floridians call St. Augustine, the north calls crabgrass. In Florida, you purposefully grow it for your entire lawn and we kill it when we find a trace of it in ours.
Yeah that's what I plan on using next year, I didn't want to stress the lawn this year so I didn't weed at all. This year has been about destroying the billions of ants that call my lawn home. They can't be good for the roots. This dry soil is making it nice and easy for them to nest too. I put down the granular stuff at triple the recommended rate, watered it in well. Haven't seen much luck.
I think the majority of lawns in NE have grub problems. You may go a couple of years trying to figure out what youre doing wrong when the buggers are really just eating your roots. They were bad in my yard and I thought it was the way I was watering. Then I pulled on the grass and discovered that the roots were really shallow due to them. Start off the year using Grub-x.
My lawn is broooowwwwn. Good news bad news is I had a 100' white pine come crashing down from a down burst. I need more sun in my yard. Time to override the neighborhood association and cut more trees.
Our ass**** neighbors have been away for like two weeks. I am completely shocked that nobody else in the neighborhood has fertilized their yard with roundup...
nobody else?
Well, I'd never do it. I don't even own any roundup.
And I haven't decided what awesome thing to write yet...
