Is this okay to do if you are cutting down weeds also? We just bought
a house with grass peeking through the weed patches. The ladies we
bought it from didn't have a clue, they stapled the fence together for
goodnes sakes... I thatched, mowed, limed and fertilized a couple
days ago and am waiting for some miracle!

I was going to give it a month, then start digging weeks and
re-seeding empty spots. Would another application of fertilizer in a
couple weeks help to "drown" out any weeds?

If I mow weed tips, I just leave these on the ground along with the
grass clippings?

Thanks,
Katherine

Two questions:
1. How bad of a weed problem did you have that you needed to put weed
killer on the whole lawn?
2. Why are you bagging your clippings in the first place? (That may be
partly responsible for having such a weed infested lawn that you had to
spread weed killer on it in the first place.)

Asking about composting those clippings is kind of like asking getting a
tune-up on a car with no brakes.
