thanks for all the answers in the previous thread.

I've pretty much given up on having a decent lawn this summer because
of the weed problem and burnt patches. I'm looking forward to next
year. Now I've pulled a lot of clovers/crab grass by hand to avoid
further damaging my lawn with weed killers.. but there is still quite
of bit of weeds remaining. Now is it necessary for me to get rid of
all the weed this year if I plan on following Scotts five or six step
program that is listed on back of its products for seeding? Can I
resurrect my lawn for next year without deweeding everything this
summer if I start following a good program next year? Otherwise, I
probably have to till half of my lawn this summer to get rid of the
weed and start reseeding..which obviously requires a lot more work.
Thanks for any response or suggestion.


one way or another you are going to have to pull the weeds. before or after its dead.
might as well do it now...
