ok...another spring is coming, another year at trying to grow a decent lawn

m thinking that maybe in the past i've put it down at the wrong
time...either too soon or too late. what signs of nature should i look for,

thanks for any tips,

All depends on what weeds you're trying to control and when they
sprout. Some sprout in the fall and are semi-dormant until spring, so
those would have to treated in the fall rather than spring. Others
sprout early spring, and others sprout in hot weather. There is no
"one-does-all" herbicide, no matter what they advertise.

When people are asking about when to apply pre-emergent to a lawn in
Spring in NJ, unless they specify otherwise, it obviously means pre-
emergent crabgrass control. And clearly he wasn't asking about Fall,
he wants to do it now.- Hide quoted text -

Since I don't live in NJ it wasn't obvious to me.
