How do I get rid of these weeds? Fertilizer? If so, which one? I live in Northwestern Colorado.

Thanks! I leave on the 3rd for a month and wont be home to tend to it like I want. I have a HS kid coming to mow, but he has not committed to pulling weeds. I wanted something I can put down before and after the vacation.

Is this a serious response?

Yes! Dawn acts as a surfactant to break surface tension and evenly spread the herbicide on the leaves. If you spray, and the weeds aren't "wet", add more Dawn. Some pre-mixes say they have surfactant t, but it's rarely enough.

Sheeee-it, neeee-gro, you came to the right place!

Looks like a bermudagrass base with broadleaf weeds. Use "Weed-B-Gone" and roll. What you mainly have is cool season stuff that will cook, shortly, but spray if you want to hasten their demise.

There's absolutely no chance that's bermudagrass in NW Colorado but a trimec / weed-b-gone for cool-season grasses will do the trick.

Wooooooooooooops! I'm missed that!

My whole front yard is probably a mix of those. If I sprayed, I'd have nothing.

Ok thanks. I appreciate it. So buy the WBG and add Dawn and then spray. Got it.

Since it's already up you gotta use post-emegergent herbicide for broadleaf weeds. Next season put down some preemergent granular before it germinates. Gardeny folks in your area should be able recommend chemical brands and timing.

Well, If I wasnt going to be gone for a month on the other hemisphere, I would not care too much. But when I come back I have 4 turn arounds to manage and will not have the time to deal with personal *****

I'm not putting my garden in for another 2 weeks (still in the 30's at night), so I'll look into that. Was just asking in general.

Same here. After I mow it's all nice, level and green. When it's long, it looks like s***.

Grew up listening to Ben Oldag and Bill Zac on KTRH's Garden Line. Pretty sure it was Bill that would remark something to the effect , that, " Once you mow it, it all looks green from the road".

What you're calling grass MAY be poa annua, actually a weed itself. I'd see about hiring a professional weed control guy. Doesn't have to be a national company, but some guy with a sprayer on his truth who's familiar with lawns and grasses in your area. Get on his service for this summer and see what happens.

At the very least, get a consultation.
