bpgreen - Im not sure what kind of grass I have but I know its not all the same type....some areas are much thicker & more dense that other parts of the lawn and its usually the thick/dense area that gets taller faster and thus alerts me that its time to mow. I purchased the home only four years ago and have never planted any grass seed myself (I bought the house from a very elderly lady that I doubt did any grass seed planting herself). I dont know how many sqft the bottle covered but I remember that it was a 32 oz bottle. I threw the bottle away after I had finished the application but I just did an internet search for a use & directions label and found something that said 6.4fl oz per 1000sqft. The area I sprayed measures about 20'x50' on one side of the walkway and maybe 30'x50' on the other side (looks like I may have applied twice as much as I should have, if the use & directions label I found online is the correct one). Any suggestions on what I can do to "save" the grass if it turns out I over-applied? texasweed - The grass is at least four year old, does that take it out of the "young" grass category? Also, Im not sure if this might help with a diagnosis but......up until this past week, Cincinnati has had a steady flow of rainfall over the past several weeks (at least 2-3 days a week) with temperatures around the mid to upper 60's. However, this past week there was ZERO rain and the temps got up into the low 80's.

That might be the most perfect poster picture ever of one kind of bermuda invading the other kind. What you have is Tif 419. What the invader looks like is all the other bermuda - common bermuda. It looks like someone seeded the common into the Tif. The only way to get rid of the invader, if it is bermuda, is to kill the entire lawn. Does the invader get flowers on it a few days after mowing? Can you let the grass grow until it flowers and post a picture of the flowers? That will help to identify it. I don't think you can hurt bermuda with a weed n feed product. You wasted the herbicide, though, by not following directions. Don't feel bad. 99.999999999999999999% of everyone makes that mistake. Seriously. All the lawn forums tell people to just forget about weed n feed products because they won't work for most anyone. You don't get any herbicide and you don't get any fertilizer out of it. And besides, the weed you have would not be touched by the herbicide in a weed n feed. Those are more for clover, dichondra, oxalis, and other broadleaf weeds. In the future if you want to fertilize, use a fertilizer. If you want to kill weeds, use a herbicide. Don't mix the two and expect to get good results. Find the Bermuda Bible online and memorize it. This time of year you should be watering once per month unless you are catching up from a loooong dry spell like we are in Texas. I let mine go too long and am watering pretty deeply to get some moisture in the soil. Where do you live?

jlaak5: On the topic of Soybean Meal I found a couple of photos of Soybean Meal for lawn online. I will be darned if I can find any retailers though. We live in a small community and I checked all the logical places including the feed store. I don't mind a bit buying it online. Can you or someone else suggest a source online for me? Thank you.

Okay I'm in San Antonio and moving to Bandera. Hold off on the fertilizer unless you want to use an organic like alfalfa pellets or corn meal. If you've never seen those flowers then you don't have buffalo. Can you take a picture on a cloudy day from a height of about 3 inches. If the grass has flowers or tassels or anything on it, that would help. You have not used the really hard stuff, but then you did use 7x too much, so I'd let things rest for a couple weeks. Today's herbicides often don't show progress for at least a week. If you have St Augustine, for example, 2,4-D will kill it. Applying anything at 7x the rate would probably wipe out St Aug. St Aug is a very hardy grass, but one weakness is sensitivity to most herbicides. It's weird. Let's figure out what grass you have before going crazy with treating it. If you water the fertilizer in immediately after applying, it should not hurt a normal grass. The problem comes if you don't water it and then the morning dew creates a very salty solution that will kill most grass (but not usually St Augustine - weird). If you have a hand sprayer of Weed b Gon, you could spray those dandelion looking weeds. Just spray the leaves - don't drench the soil. They might be thistle, which looks very similar before it flowers. As for fertilizing the lawn, I'd just enjoy the bluebonnets for a couple more weeks.
