I'm not familiar with TN but in my area, many older homes have Bermuda grass in the summer that dies back in the winter. Many people (including myself) plant/overseed winter rye grass - primarily for looks. I always plant winter rye because it helps to keep out the weeds by providing some competition in the winter.
I still get some lawn weeds and I prefer to use the hose-sprayed lawn weed killer vs. granules. It could be just my imagination but I feel it works better by wetting every single leaf in the lawn.
I also use crabgrass pre-emergent to keep the crabgrass under control.
Just my .02 cents worth........Vern
