How do I get rid of weeds in my yard?

Question

My lawn is almost all weeds. Even the parts that look like grass are just weeds in disguise. I have no huge problem with the weeds. I'm not one of those that has to have perfect grass and a perfect lawn. But it grows SO fast. I mow the lawn on Saturday and by Tuesday it's already starting to look shaggy.

Any suggestions to a cost and time effective way to fix this?

Answer 3

You can buy ortho weedbgon concentrate or bayer complete. The bayer is less expensive. Mix it in a tank or hose end sprayer and spray the entire lawn are. This will take care of weeds in as little as 24-48 hours. In early spring treat your lawn with a good quality crabgrass preventer,( I have best results with crabex). Around memorial day use weed and feed,I use store brands. 4th of july lawn food and labor day winterizer. Look at the numbers on the front of the package and compae them to scotts. try to gat as close as you can to their numbers.
