Weeds in yard...what to use to kill them?

[Frisco mommy2]

The weeds have started to come up and this past year we haven't kept up with the fertilizer stuff that my husband usually used, whats the best thing to kill them for good, we have a large yard also ( 1/2 acre)so I know it will be expensive. Does anyone use a service, can't think of the name that comes around and sprays the whole yard from a truck, what does this cost and how often for an average yard. Do they treat year round also

the broadleaf winter weeds now (creeping charlie, dandys, etc) can be killed with 24d. ortho, spectracide, etc all have it, read the label. you can use a hose end sprayer. i put on the 3 gallon back pack sprayer this weekend and hammered them. most of those types of weeds will die when it gets hot if you dont want to spray.

I use a hose sprayer as well. Any product that contains 2-4-D will work on 90% of the weeds. Hopefully the wind will not blow hard this weekend and I can spray my yard.

FYI, dont't use a weed and feed fertilizer.

This is for the grass we have mostly up here in Frisco correct?

Not St Augustine?

Didn't realize 2-4-D was still allowed?

MSMA was banned for homeowner use, but 2,4-D is still available.

Better read the label just to make sure.
