Jumping in not knowing the flavor of the koolaid.  On those weed and feed make sure to read the chemicals and use the right one for what grass you have.   2-4d for Bermuda and atrazine for st Augustine.  If you have a bad dandelion problem doing some homework on preemerge might help.  Usually with glyphosate and 2-4d if it’s applied at least 4 hours before rain it’s usually good to go.

DO NOT SPRAY GLYPHOSATE ON A COOL SEASON GRASS.  THAT MEANS FESCUE OR BLUEGRASS OR EVEN ZOYSIA (even though I'd like to see zoysia ALL dead) OR ANY OTHER GRASS THAT DOES NOT GO COMPLETELY DORMANT IN COLD WEATHER.  DO NOT SPRAY GLYPHOSATE ON ANY COOL SEASON GRASS EVEN IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, EVEN BELOW FREEZING.  JUST NEVER DO IT.

If you are going to spray glyphosate on your lawn, it has to be dormant.  Not just sorta dormant.  I mean like Graveyard DEAD dormant, kay?  Which means you have warm season grass and it has not started to wake up yet.  

Or you have to have a genetically modified cultivar in your lawn like ProVista.  If you have ProVista, you likely know it and you likely put it in, so you likely don't need this post, but..

Just in case....

Ask questions here or in the lawn thread if you are conmused or befuzzled.

It’s prob just me but I think weed n feed Sucks .

I’m to the point of getting round up or generic and on a Non Windy day going out and spraying the various unwanted plants .

Including dandelions .  Ya I prob loose some grass but I see  much better results on the riffraff plant I want gone .

@tveddy you can IM me your location if you don't want to post it here.  General region is fine.

If you don't feel comfortable with that, it's okay.
