Does it bother you walking through the areas you've sprayed? I worry about tracking herbicide into the house or getting it on my skin. Am I over thinking it?

Presley PM me your address. If you can spot spray the Oxalis I will send you some Celsius WG to spot spray with. I will measure the exact amount you need. All you need to buy is a non ionic surfactant. Mix what I send in a one gallon pump sprayer. Shake it up really well to mix. Then add the surfactant 2 teaspoons and shake it well again. Then you're ready to go. And the weeds don't need a 5 second hose down soak. Just a 1/2 second light mist will do. So a gallon mix will go a long way. It's safe to use on St Aug and Bermuda. A second spot spray application might be needed 2-4 weeks later. But it should do the trick. https://www.domyown.com/hiyield-spr...RwKwEAQYBSABEgKRrvD_BwE&sub_id=19626And I highly recommend you get on and stay on a pre emergent program. Sent... very much appreciated

I wear almost knee high rubber boots when I spray anything and just leave the boots in the garage. But I don't blanket spray herbicides very often. One of the few I blanket spray is Certainty(Sulfosulfuron) every year. I get a nut sedge outbreak every year and it wipes it out. Other than that I'm typically spot spraying.

Looks really, really good! Not to be picky but โweโ do something about this (highlighted below)? Iโd like to see a nice, clean corner. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

lol. I'll spray it as soon as I get home. I'll use what my neighbor used. It seems to kill grass pretty well.

The blue is some split paint and I'm too lazy to clean it up. There is some type of small water leak in the street. Neighbor said they marked that L a couple years before I moved in and marked something in the street. They've never been back so I'm not sure what's going on. I'm probably living on a soon to be sinkhole.

That "L" on the side walk bothers me too.... and the little piece of blue trash on the drive way.. Just wanted to weigh in on this. Lawn-obsessed people only concern themselves with lawn issues. There are times where this concern can rise to levels that negatively impact sleep. So make no mistake, the obsession is with the lawn and anything lawn-oriented, nothing else. Neither the โLโ nor the โlittle piece of blue trash on the drivewayโ (as you referred to them) are in any way related to lawn work. As a result, no sleep would be lost worrying about them. In fact, itโs highly likely that a true lawn-obsessed person wouldnโt even notice what you mentioned...I know I didnโt. Even with you mentioning it, I still donโt notice it. Iโm not minimizing your observation but it wonโt gain traction with the lawn-obsessed. Maybe the concrete sub-forum...or sidewalk...or even paint...but the lawn-obsessed pay it no mind.

Sawhorse is correct. If it doesn't grow grass I don't care about it. Now something like this gets my attention. How bad do you think I freaked out when I came home to this last year?
