Lawn Care

If you haven't done so, it's time here in the south to weed and feed that lawn. There are several good companies that provide granular weed and feed and can be found at Lowes, Wal-Mart, etc. Best to buy a spreader for under $50 that you can push around the yard to dispense the granular. It will take about half an hour for a standard sized yard. The directions are on the back of the bag. It also tells you when to do it. Generally 3 to 4 times during the year from February to September in the south. There are 2 primary kinds of weed and feed; the kind for bermuda, centipede, etc and the kind for St. Augustine grass. Make sure you get the right kind.

A lawn is a work in progress. Each year you hope to kill a few more weeds and grow a little more grass. Eventually, the grass will choke out the weeds. It takes a while for the chemicals to accumulate. It's a year over year process.
