I live in Wisconsin and have a bunch of clovers and thistles in my lawn. When should I be putting things on my lawn - spring? fall? Please help. Thanks.

    Hi Kris. I also live in Wisconsin. In spring I put down crab grass preventer. This is a pre emergent that does not allow the crab grass seeds to germinate. In early summer right when you can see the dandelions coming up I use a weed and feed. Then in Fall I use a winterizer to prepare the grass for winter. The weed and feed does work to kill weeds. I have been working on mine for 3 years now and have almost gotten rid of all of the weeds. Once your grass is healthy the weeds won't have a chance to grow. We also started aerating our yard in early spring and then again in fall. Good Luck.

    You should not use vinegar on the lawn. Regular fertilization programs should be followed for a health lawn. Here are the recommended steps.Crabgrass pre-emergent,6-8 weeks....weed and feed....6-8 wks....summer guard....6-8-wks.....turf builder....6-8weels winterizer. Should you opt not to use those steps use Weed B Gone .

    Vinegar and boiling water are really great alternatives to harsh chemicals and they work great- best of luck :)
