Winter Nimblewill In Lawn Progress Report - January 2023
This past season, I finally figured out that our backyard was infested with a warm-season grass/weed called Nimblewill and came up with a plan to treat it in place while not doing a full cool-season grass renovation. That started with using a post-emergent spray called Tenacity - which caused the Nimblewill to white-out and die . Once that ran its course, I then began a project using a pre-germination seed technique followed by a project to overseed the lawn with a mix of Kentucky Blue Grass and Tall Fescue . Which...after some watering... resulted in a bunch of new germination . And, while I was happy with the result in the Fall with new, green grass filling in plenty of bare spots, I knew the real, important results, would be visible once the lawn went totally dormant. That's because, the Nimblewill is a warm-season grass and totally dies back once the temperature drops. Which, historically have left us with a bunch of bare spots in the law...
