Weed and Feed with a lawn spreader.
Fall is also the best time to treat perennial weeds such as dandelions, because that’s when the plants begin to prepare for winter by shifting foodstuffs from leaves to roots. Perennial weeds don’t naturally die off for at least two years, and the longer they have to grow, the tougher they are to get rid of. Treating with a herbicide during the fall allows the chemicals to be absorbed along with nutrients being stored for the colder months, killing the weeds at the root level.
Start with the weeds. Soak the weeds in hot wait 24 hrs. Next get as close to the ground. and pull the weeds out by the root. Good Luck!
WEED AND FEED
Besides watering, Ironite is a mineral that helps the grass take up nutrients from the soil. Not cutting the grass too short (scalping it) is helpful too, especially in hot weather.
