How do I control ground ivy, yellow woodSorrel, and moss (Gelochoma hederaceae, Oxalis stricta, and Bryophyta) in a home lawn in Allaghany County Virginia?
Recommendation: To establish a lawn properly: Aggressively aerate or vertical mow the area to bring up loose soil and disturb the surface or lightly till then seed the area to a quality turf-type tall fescue at 6 to 7 lbs of pure live seed per 1000 square feet (usually 8 lbs of actual seed per 1000 square feet). Keep the area watered. Include a balanced starter fertilizer at seeding. Seed in early September, Fertilize again in Mid October, and Fertilize again in early December. Apply 1 lb of nitrogen per 1000 square feet each time you fertilize. To control these weeds: After the lawn has been mown twice, apply a broadleaf herbicide that contains at least two of the following ingredients: 2,4-D, dicamba, MCPP, MCPA, and triclopyr. Repeat the broadleaf herbicide treatments every two weeks until the weeds have been completely controlled. To prevent moss, trim lower tree limbs and/or selectively trim tree limbs in the canopy to promote light at the lawn surface. Maintain proper irrigation
