We live in NE Florida, e.g., Jacksonville area. My wife, who is meticulous in following directions. put down a weed and feed product that is known to all.
After a couple of weeks the St. Augustine grass got greener and a few weeds died.
After about six weeks the weeds, for the most part, are still there and green as the grass. I wonder if the herbicide content has been reduced due to the EPA or some other entity?
We have an abundance of nut sedge and the product to control it is astronomical in price for the area covered and the results. I plan on just slowly over time to just did it up nuts and all. Either that or over fertilize it as that seems to do a good job.
The dollar weed is another item that would cost a fortune to control. I read up on it and all the specific product to "kill" it does is retard it and it is right back to the same old game next year.
I read in the Clay County Ag. site that the only way to get rid of dollar weed is to dig it up and get all of the rhizomes out. So that looks like my grandsons' next job.
We do not over water and it has not rained much. This seems to be the main thing that dollar weed needs.
I would like anyone's comments on the forgoing and see if I am missing something.
Thank you
Jerry
