While the bermuda grass has come in better than ever (w/ something of a late start thanks to a winter weed problem), I’ve been battling outcroppings of crabgrass all summer by spraying with crabgrass killer. This results in yellow spots when the weather is dry. Crabgrass preventer in early spring is the only way to go.

Yesterday I put down 16 lbs of Vigaro Ultra Turf 29-3-4. It had a setting guide that included by Scott’s Speedygreen 2000. I set the little rotating control to 6.75. The bag was supposed to cover 5,000 sq feet. At 6.75, I seemed to have just enough.

Our front yard is a triangle with a whole (pine island) in the middle. I had Danny measure the 3 sides one time using a 100 foot power cord as his ruler. He did the math. I don’t remember what he came up with. Let’s call it 5,000 sq feet.
