Collapse ▲While the lawn has long since stopped growing, it still has a lot of green color to it. No, that’s not the weeds in the lawn creating the color, but the lawn itself. I’m not sure if that means it’s not dormant, but just to be sure, I’m going to hold off on spraying the lawn weed control product until the grass is mostly brown. I don’t want to kill the grass along with the weeds.
I have been taking notes on which weeds I have in my lawn and where they are. When the grass is dormant, I do plan on spraying and I want to make sure I have a product that will kill all the weeds I have without killing the grass. My front lawn is centipedegrass and the side lawn is St. Augustinegrass that has crept over from my neighbor’s yard. I don’t mind the different grass types as the side yard is shaded by a large tree and centipedegrass doesn’t like to grow in the shade. That being said, I do need to look for a product that is safe to use on both types of grass while also killing the weeds.
My list of weeds includes common vetch, yellow hop clover, and cudweed. As well as annual bluegrass that has shown up this year along with pennywort and a few wild garlic patches. I thought I had dug up all the wild garlic last year, but I must have missed a few bulbs. To make sure I kill the wild garlic and the pennywort with their thick waxy leaves, I’ve purchased a Spreader Sticker Surfactant that I will mix in with the lawn weed control product to help the water stick to the leaves where the chemical can be absorbed. It’s a little extra work, but if it gets rid of those two weeds, I’m all for it.
