[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1746782, member: 14175"] First and foremost, you need lime. Adding fertilizer with a low pH is wasting money because some of that fertilizer isn't even available to the plant. I don't know about your area, but around here a pH of 5.7 usually calls for 2 tons of lime/acre, and several years/applications to get it up closer to 7. Spraying the weeds won't hurt anything in my mind, but improving the soil through lime and fertilizer can sometimes improve the grasses so much you no longer need to spray. [/QUOTE]
