    Maybe this sounds asenine, but have you tried using a regular fertilizer on your lawn like Scotts turfbuilder with weed control? I just do it once in the Spring and once in the Fall and basically don't have any weeds.

    Turflon Ester
    This stuff kills ALL weeds and Bermuda grass
    Do not spray near anything you want to keep such as rose bushes or shrubs. It will not harm cool weather grass

    Yeah actually this year we didn't fertilize like usual because of all the rain/growth early on, grass looked amazing. Didn't have any problems with weeds until it started to get hot and I had sprinkler problems. Didn't take long for part of the grass to die off and the weeds sprung up like crazy. I still have a bag of that scotts fertilizer but it's the spring stuff and I was trying to decide if it's too late to use it now, or if I wait a little longer for the fall fertlizing.

    I have a "fairy ring" that showed up again in the back yard too. Thought I had got rid of that thing 2 years ago.

    The vole tunnels are back this year too, after a couple years of no problems. Plus there's a yellowjacket nest in one of them.

    Ugh, that's what I get when I'm gone and ignore the grass for a few weeks.

    Part of me does feel like it's time to glyco the whole thing and burn it, but I'm sure my neighbors wouldn't like it.

    If you're not in a HOA controlled neighborhood, fuck them.

    Yeah I'm neck deep in HOA land here. Plus Monky's my neighbor and I'm worried he hates me already. Word is he is crazy and likes guns.

    Broadleaf weed killer similar to trimec will do the job. Not sure what surfactants are available to the general public so can't really suggest anything there. Somewhere like Murdochs or Big R should have what you need.
