Last year I started getting a weed problem, so in the off season, I pulled every weed I could find. This year the lawn came up green and lush and I thought I had beat the Florida weeds for once. No such luck. Now I have weeds spread all over the lawn, some of which attach their seeds to our dog every time she goes out (several times a day). In the early summer I bought Weed B Gone for St. Augustine grass and applied it as directed. No obvious change. I applied it again last month. No obvious change. The weeds are thriving. I’m about to use Spectricide Lawn and Weed Killer which will kill everything, and I can lay sod on the dead areas in the spring. But before I take that drastic action, does anyone know of a product that actually works? I think plain water would work as good as Weed B Gone.
Most it with water then sprinkle baking soda over it. A kitchen sifter works well for this. Sounds crazy but kills weeds. May yellow grass but not kill it. .
