new lawn splotchy, coming up weeds
We just planted a new lawn 8-9 days ago. We're just barely starting to see
the peach fuzz that lets me know the lawn is coming up. I have a few concerns though: 1. The grass seems pretty splotchy. We're in Seattle and have had a lot of rain this last week which washed a lot of the seed around the yard, so the lawn is thick in some place, sparse in others and simply non-existant in others. 2. There are a lot of weeds coming is as well. I'm not sure what kind of weed--they're only about as far along as the grass. Right now they just have two tiny round leaves, almost like a two-leaved clover. So, I've been considering options, and I would love some advice. These are my thoughts: 1. I could reseed where needed, give the grass a month or two, and if necessary spray with a broad-leaf weed killer. Can I do something about the weeds now, before I re-seed? 2. I could kill the whole thing and lay sod (we just priced it and is within our budget). If I go this route, do I need to kill the existing grass/weeds? I'm assuming I do. What's the best way to do that? 3. Any other suggestions would be great too. Thanks for your help. Robby |
