I second dchall, Forget about the weeds, it's part of the beast you created by seeding in the spring. They'll be there all season, but so will your grass and slowly the grass will crowd out the weeds. Follow the watering schedule for new seedlings and then the deep infrequent waterings like dchall suggested. Finally, yes put the soybean meal down now. It will take a good 2-3 weeks before it breaks down and will benefit the seedlings. Maybe in three or four weeks add another 1/2 dose of soybean meal so there will be a steady supply of nutrients to the new grass. You can keep doing 1/2 doses every 3 -4 weeks all summer with soybean meal, your lawn will love it, but you'll be mowing every 3 - 4 days once it starts growing. One more thing, since you are in a warmer climate for cool season grasses, try to keep a close eye on the young lawn during the hot spells. Young grass has shallow roots and cannot take the heat as well as a mature stand. You may have to break some rules regarding deep and infrequent watering the first summer and give the lawn a quick cool drink on those hot afternoons. This is another reason to seed in the fall as opposed to the spring, but it can be done. Take some photos and post them here so we all can see the progress. Some of the more wise ones may also see signs of trouble in you photo updates and can help you head off trouble if something looks a bit off. Good luck!

Bayer 'Lawn Weed and Crabgrass Killer' does a decent job of getting rid of crabgrass (among other weeds) It does state on the bottle that it 'may cause temporary yellowing or discoloring' with bermuda, but that a 'full recovery could be expected'. I sprayed some on my zoysia last week and its done a pretty good job getting the crabgrass. For heavy infestations they say a repeat spraying a few weeks later may be necessary. You can find it at Lowe's, or Home Depot. 34-0-0 isn't too bad and will definitely kick your bermuda into high gear, but you probably could stand to have some K, as well. Do you know your soil PH? If not, get a soil test done through UGA and your local county extension office. They'll give you the breakdown of what you're deficiencies are for P, and K. It'll help you make your fertilizer choices a lot easier. Chances are though that your soil is fairly high in P already and low in K. That being said, Shemin Nurseries in and around Atlanta sell ProScape fertilizers from Lebanon Corp. Their MESA technology for slow release nitrogen works very well. I use their 25-2-5 MESA blend and have been extremely satisfied with the results. You could also get ProScape fertilizers with some Dimension in it. That'll do a decent job of keeping new weeds from popping up. Good luck!

Even your back yard seems...off...somehow, but it might be the camera used to take the shot. Suffiie to say there's something I don't like about the patterning and color. Can you get us a closeup of the dead grass in the patch out front, as well as the border between dead and green? Offhand it doesn't look like summer patch or brown patch, but we'd need more data to make sure. Do you happen to have a recent soil test? It's OK if not, as soil chemistry won't usually cause edges and patches like that, but I'm curious. Is that a southern or southwestern exposure in that front photo? Those two tend to be the driest and most blasted in summer, and I have trouble with one section that tilts southwest myself. In the dry patches, try the Screwdriver Test--take a flat-headed screwdriver and drive it into the soil. See how far it can go before it gives very high resistance to pushing. Try that in the green areas and see if there's a difference. Sample around. I have one thing you can easily and cheaply try if you already have a sprayer. Put any really incredibly cheap shampoo (I like Suave, apple scent) in the sprayer, and spray it on the lawn at 1 tablespoon per gallon. The standard 16 oz Suave container should go about 4,000 square feet, but don't worry if it goes more or less. It's hard to overdo shampoo on the lawn and gardens. Then water regularly. The shampoo will loosen the soil, encourage water to soak in instead of running off or running through,

Yes, I think we feed every single bird and squirrel in our town by the amount of $ we spend on seed, plus bread and peanuts. We have 4 feeders plus a hummingbird feeder and birdbath in our back yard and 5 feeders plus a hummingbird feeder in our front yard, plus two tube feeders and 3 watering dishes/birdbaths. We call our front yard our "Wildlife Entertainment Center". Some of those crazy squirrels we have named: Barny, Metal, Logger, Chewy, Loco and Loco Jr. Soon we will have an influx of redwinged blackbirds that will strip all feeders clean. This happens twice a year. They stay around at least 3 months each time.Our feed bill doubles then. Our hummers have left now to travel further south and won't return until April. Sure miss those little darlings.
