Well, I spent the last 3 hours spreading weed seeds. Got the front and back yard mowed and edged. I'm planning to spread scotts turf builder/weed and feed in the morning.
We are finally getting our flower beds how we want them. Planted some canna and some other bulbs earlier in the year. The majority of them have started coming up. My crape myrtles are filling out as well
Grassy again. I rented an aerator last spring and that seemed to help a bit. I always only bag the clippings to minimize any weed propagation and this yr, I tried the Bayer weed-n-feed. That shit was expensive, but it's seemed to work pretty well.
I'm wanting to aerate before seeding next month.. I hope my Home Depot rents an aerator

Ok so I guess my fucking dumb ass did the Lee emergent too early as there's a really decent amount of crabgrass (like 90-95%).. would it be safe to assume since this is getting through, Bermuda seeds could germinate?
You didn't go to early , just a bad weed year, I've seen lots of break through, spoken with Bayer reps, superintendents , etc. just a tough year.
I started mid January and finished up March 1, no crab but some clover break through, it happens .
If it is bermuda, you only need 1" a week. check it with some Tuna cans
Lots of variables , main one being soil type , in sandy soils we water rotors ( temps 95 and above) 30 min minimum up to one hour 3-4 days weekly , clay can hold better , but unless you are running monster nozzles you are not watering nearly enough. The 1" rule is fine it just needs to be applied properly and 10 min per zone won't get you there with a residential system.
