What product that you can actually buy works on weeds/crab grass post emergent and won't kill burmuda. I am currently experimenting with the following.
Bayer season long Bayer with crab grass control ortho weed b gone and crab grass Image weed and crab grass
I used the ready mix for hose with each. I'm not interested in stuff that kills grass, I'm not interested in vinegar, salt bs. I know that prevention and thick grass is the best option but we are past the prevention phase and until the grass gets growing good I need things that work. Any other product I should try????
I suspect the Bayer sucks
The ortho is starting to work quick, a little yellowing of grass I assume by the quiclorac
Going to look at image now.

I used the bayer on my clover. It seemed to do ok. Took a while for it to kick in though.

Yep, clover and the broad leaf stuff seems like anying does ok. Crab grass and what I think is nutsedge are the issue.

I have been using Round Up for southern lawns this year with good results. Spray applicator for you hose. Has worked well on my San Augustine lawn.

I just checked the yard I sprayed with Image. It is certainly killing stuff lol. Appears to be killing grass not weeds.

I had an all St. Augustine lawn, I just used Scotts product and it was one of the best looking lawns in the neighborhood. I moved and now have Bermuda style grass. I had to hire Citi Turf to apply 8 apps per year, they have made a big difference in my yard.

Quinclorac or metsulfuron. Just have to look at the active ingredients at Home Depot. Not sure what you would find but I imagine quinclorac might be available.

My local guy suggested Ortho Weed B Gon. Hooks up to your water hose. Has worked very well for me and $12 a bottle.

St. Augustine is fairly easy to take care of, Bermuda can be much more difficult from mine experience Ain't that the truth. When I lived in Plano we had all Bermuda. I kept it looking good but it was a chore. Now in Houston I have all St Augustine and it's a breeze. Water, Pre-emergent, Scotts. Easy as that.

Just hope you don't start getting Take All Patch, Grey Leaf Spot, Brown Patch, Large Patch, ect............ then it can start to get expensive and be a pain.
