I had a lot of luck with Milorganite. I re-seeded early in the spring in
North-West NJ. So I used starter fertilizer with crabgrass preventer the
last week in March. The lawn was getting yellow compared to my neighbor's.
So I put down the Milorganite June 1. Even today the grass is a deep
green. It also has iron in it. $10 40 lb. bag covers 2,500 sq. ft.

Since it is Aug already and hot here in NJ, what can I do now to stop
the weeds and crab grass. I did the Scotts steps but seem to have had
some bad luck this year. My front is about 5% crab grass and the back
is about 50/50 with grass to weeds. Also, when is the correct time to
overseed and can I get the back yard back into shape over the next
couple of years by overseeding?

Thanks


I concluded the crab grass preventer I used, is gone. The pounding
rain has reduced its barrior. Maybe if you can find pre-emergance
crab grass killer again (sold out around me). and use spot killers to
clear up your lawn, might help.

I guessed too hot for, reseeding. Plus, I'm trying to use Bayer's
Weed and Crab Grass killer, in a sprayer, which says not to reseed too
soon.
