Hi,
I am located in New Jersey and my lawn was taken over by chickweeds I was going to dethatch then reseed this fall. Somebody suggested to use the Ortho Weed B Gone first to get rid of the chickweeds then reseed later.
I started 3 weeks ago with the weed b gone by using a spot sprayer waited 2weeks, like instructuins stated and this time used ortho hose end applaction, which worked much better and sprayed more evenly. This week I dethacthed using a pull behind dethacther, raked up all the thacth and put down scotts fall fertilizer.
The chickweeds are about half way killed off. On the instructions of the weed b gone its says only apply 2 application yearly. I was going to wait another 2 weeks and dethatch, rake up, use a plug type aerator and reseed. Or should I give it another shot of the weed b gone and wait till spring to reseed.
Oh and by the way I was going to use to scotts Sun and Shade mix with Kentucky Blue Grass.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
