I did the overseed in September and was watering every evening for about 20 minutes. The soil would still dry up in spots but it generally seemed about right to me. Clay soil sux. Honestly I debated digging it up to make a wood fired pizza oven in the backyard.... the neighbors would love that.
Why u killin trees bruh? Didn't you learn your lesson last time.
Thanks. That must be updated. When I looked at Rutgers site last year the info was different. We'll see if the crabgrass pre emergent has a better effect this year. I did spray with Bayer crabgrass killer last year and that did nothing, though that's one of the things recommended. Case in point on how things change - two years ago I had a lot of what was identified as nutsedge by Levitts garden center, and they told me there's no selective herbicide for it so I was out of luck. Well, last spring while looking at home depot I found that Bayer had come out with something just for nut sedge and it worked great, all gone.
I've had success killing bamboo. A combination of Garlon and diesel(small amount, it acts as a penetrant and sticker). This is a job for winter or before plants start growing. Hack it down to less the 6" and spray with solution. It also works on Russian olive. Follow label rates.
You would need an army to tackle that.
Every 3-4 weeks, zap it with Trimec by spraying. Don't dig or pull up anything on the lawn. The Trimec acts like a net over the lawn. Pulling weeds manually will introduce weed seeds
