He is referring to the crabgrass and broadleaf preventer. Most keep those weeds from germinating, weeds and grass seed. So if you want to seed you need to find the right one. I use the Scotts triple action.

ah, now I understand. I don't poison anything on our farm and have been completely organic since 73 when we bought this land.
My dandelions feed my neighbors bees right now. |

And I totally respect that, Paul. Of course, you and your clothes are getting covered with it working at the golf course.... |

True Ross but as least my dogs don't have to walk on it and lick their paws. I even use pet friendly fert. |

Once the forsythia have been flowering for several days I put it down. I’ve found the ground warms up fast and you can miss the window. The Lesco products I use are granular and take a little time to water in.
Paulie, I try to minimize chemicals for the obvious reasons. Only thing I’ll use is to keep crabgrass, yellow sedge and chickweed from displacing grass in the summer. I don’t spray flowering weeds that the bees like. Thistle or dandelions get pulled if they’re bugging me.
Been told I have one of the best lawns in town  |
