what kind of grass do you have?

I've found it to work best on the thicker bladed grasses (st. Aug) and take care of clover, dollar weed, and wild onion just fine.....

another helpful item that helps the health over time is to cut often, change patterns, and always cut tall unless you have bermuda

Ditto on all that. St. Aug mow low in winter to keep weeds from making seeds then mow high in summer.

another little know tidbit is to check you ph levels......it's almost a given in the south that the acidic level is high....

stinkfist knows that lime is beneficial to help combat if that's the case....

stinkfist also recommends dethatching annually once temps consistently reach 65 degrees at night if that is an issue due to neglect...

stinkfist also recommends if drought conditions settle in, to water in the am for at least 1 hr in lieu of setting a timer for 15 min. multiple spurts....
