What kind of grass do you have? Where in Texas are you? Is the grass area used to play on or with pets? Or is it just for looking green? Shade? In southern lawns you have to get the broadleafed weeds out manually or with a spray. Weed-n-feed is a waste of time, money, and energy - as you learned the hard way. Too bad you did not ask your questions when you first noticed the weeds. Tilling the soil brings up new weed seeds so that usually doesn't help. Adding topsoil when you don't need to correct drainage issues is a poor thing to do. Forget about the weed-n-feed being effective on the weeds. About all you can hope for it that it will fertilize the grass. If your grass is already growing and you have mowed it two times, then it might work for you. Otherwise wait until you have mowed real grass for the second time. Then you can fertilize with some confidence that it will work for you. If you have St Augustine then set your mower at the highest setting to mow. If you have bermuda set it at the lowest setting to mow. Once you have the grass growing nicely, then you can use a spray like Weed-B-Gone to spot spray individual weeds. Any bare spots left by the dead weeds will fill in from either bermuda or St Augustine. Also don't water daily like granburyflowergirl. There are anumber of reasons why not but without making this any longer, water when the grass needs is. In the heat of summer that will be more frequently than the rest of the year. When you do water, water a full inch at a time. Measure and time an inch of water using a tuna or cat food can. The next week you can water for that same amount of time. For granburyflowergirl, Tech Turf is a great buffalo variety. While it will survive with no water, if you want it to look nice, it needs as much water as any other grass. It also develops seed heads that some people find unattractive, so mowing is usually done weekly. You can mow it at any height from lowest to highest setting on your mower.

ah, that's most certainly it. you guys are good! is it something that spreads and should be pulled or just let it be? i don't want to tick off the surrounding gardeners...

oh steve ... really???? i can send you a couple billion plantain for you to compare ... lol... you will know for sure.. when it flowers ... i think steve keeps his masterful garden too perfect.. lol .. he should garden in former horse pasture... lol ken ps: i still irritates the ehck out of me.. to see hosta labels with the word plantain on it.. that word in said use.. went out of vogue.. about 100 years ago ...HOSTA ARE NOT PLANTAIN LILIES ... neither plantain.. nor a lily ... just get some new labels printed.. you wholesale morons... BTW.. its upside.. is that its one of the lawn weeds that the rabbits prefer.. over hosta ...

I think you're on to something with the Verbena idea. Another thought-have you ever grown any Bidens? I'm talking the horticultural varieties, not the numerous native Bidens. These self-seed readily and look at least something like that. +oM
