Default headache lawn

your yard is not very big. pull the weeds yourself. it is very easy. the fertilizer
will not get rid of the weeds once they have established... only kill them. yardwork
is not yardwork for nothing. it's good exercse. some or most weeds grow in dry
conditions which means they will die or drown if the ground is kept wet.

I live in NY. I redid my front lawn (20x20) two years ago with Scotts
seeds. I'm guilty of not following a regiment to prevent weeds from
growing. Recently I wanted a fresh start so I applied Scotts
Summerguard (Insect protection and Fertilizer) and the results were
horrific. Part of my lawn was burnt and the part that is still good
started weeding even faster (clover+crabgrass). Scott already said
they will reimburse me for seeds+product because I did not misuse it.
Bottom line though, my lawn is in pretty bad shape and even worse, my
lawn is continuous with a neighbor, whose lawn is fine but I don't want
my problem to become his. I thought I would apply a weed control agent
after the summerguard application but I'm not sure if it is wise to
apply another "product" right after summerguard application. The burnt
spots I probably need to reseed but I'm not sure what I should do with
the all the weeds cropping next to my neighbor's side of the lawn.
Short of pulling weed by hand or redoing my lawn entirely... any other
suggestions?? And even if I have to pull the weeds out leaving bare
spots.. should I reseed the area immediately afterwards or just wait
until early fall to do any reseeding?? Thanks for any response.
