Drowning in Weeds!

14 years ago

I am new to the forum. I really need help. I am really frustrated.

Here is the situation. I live in East Texas. We have not had much rain at all! We have been in a burn ban for months. I am watering the yard every other morning at 5:00 a.m. I have Saint Augustine grass. No shade. I have used Scott's fertilizer. I have done everything the bag has said.

Two issues: My grass is not growing/spreading and the weeds are horrendous! Here are some of the weeds I am able to identify. Virginia buttonweed, Dallis grass, bahiagrass and some kind of a thorny weed.

I think I know where the problem started. My neighbors yard and I fertilized too early in the year. Therefore, feeding the weeds.

What do I do?!?!?! Please help. I fertilized the yard three weeks ago with a weed and feed. I have the normal Scott's fertilizer. Is it too early to put that on the yard.

Thanks for your help. I am really upset about this.

Joey
