Going to modify my earlier statement.

I went to the local herbicide store today and talked to the guy. I have a big issue with poa annua sprouting all over my yard right now. It was there when we moved in, I resodded last season with bermuda after spraying roundup all over the yard and the damn stuff sprouted right through the new turf. It is horrible right now, the weather is too cool for the bermuda and it has been pretty wet so this poa is going nutso. I missed my window for the pre-emergent, around here it has to be early February. I treated in November and thought that would be enough, guess I was wrong.

Anyhow, the guy said MSMA does not work well until the temps are in the 70s consistently. So, I bought some other stuff (expensive as hell btw) that will kill it now and then let the bermuda start to green up in a couple more weeks.

I thought about a lawn service but ChemLawn is about $50 a pop and they want to treat 8 times a year. For $400 I can buy a hell of a lot of fertilizer and herbicide...
