You start out by eating several cans of tuna. Then you place the empty cans around the yard and turn on the sprinkler. Have you already read about this? I'm going to assume you have, but if not, I'll finish it the next time. Get yourself onto a deep and infrequent watering schedule.

For the weeds jump to Weed-B-Gone Chickweed, Clover, and Oxalis killer. Spot spray the weeds. You'll have to retreat in a couple weeks if the current weed seeds germinate. I didn't see any crabgrass. If you want to take some close up pix of the crabgrass, do it on a cloudy day or in the shade to cut the high contrast and make it easier to see. Close up pix can be from 3 inches away.

Since you have any grass at all after 2 years of neglect, I'm going to call it Kentucky bluegrass. Because if you had started with a pure fescue lawn, it would be all dirt by now. KBG is a good thing. Why? Because you will never need to overseed it. Overseeding is done with fescue and rye grasses because when the grass plants die for any reason, they don't come back. With KBG the adjacent plants will spread to fill in the thin spots. The down side is KBG can go dormant in the winter and become brown. With the preceding lack of care yours is very likely to go dormant this year. But next year you might be able to keep it green most of the year, depending on the weather. Do you want the yard of the month or not all that? There's not that much difference between yard-of-the-month care and just maintaining green care.

Applying the Milorganite was a good thing. With organics you don't have to worry about not getting it down perfectly the first time. With chemicals you would worry about it because you don't want to put down too much and hurt the grass. With organics you can't hurt it with too much, so reapplying was also a good thing. Believe it or not I'd rather see the yard ignored for 2 years rather than over dosed with chemical fertilizer, herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide. This should come back nicely.

Mulch mow at the mower's highest setting to discourage more weeds and to grow deeper roots.

Dchall, thank you so very much! You are one of the few whose teachings I value most :)

I know about tuna cans, yes :)
You confirmed my hopes about kentucky blue grass. I did a test with milorganite on a small square, I sprinkled really generously and it grew really nice and dark green. That made me think it is kbg (after ton of research about types of grasses). Crabgrass is mostly on the southern side of the house, I did spot spray once with spectracide concentrate but maybe I diluted it too much (I got scared after reading the label) because the effects were minimal. I will get weed-b-gone then.

I am planning to spread alfalfa pellets in about a month.

Thanks again!
