I re-seeded Kyentucky Fescue last fall and have a fair stand, however, mouse ear chick weed and other broadleafs are really thick. I wanted to spray for the chickweed and the broadleafs. I read on the lable that 24d was a poor choice to kill chickweed and also that I couldnt overseed for a yr following treatment. I fear large areas will need to be seeded when the bradleafs die. So what can I spray with to get these weeds and still overseed in 2 weeks?

I've read all the answers that other people have given you, some are fair. Here's my advice, take it or leave it. Granular weed and feed (preferably Scots) will be your best bet. Weed and feed contains atrazine which will work if applied and watered in properly. Atrazine can only be applied when afternoon temps are no higher than 80-85 degrees. You must water the application in with no less than equal to 1/4 inch of rain. Water it in for 2 days in a row(twice daily). If you put it down without watering it in, your lawn itself could be damaged. Atrazine kills and will prevent weeds (for 4-6 weeks) from growing in your lawn. I'm very big on promoting the old school method of pulling weeds. The more you pull the less you have! Take a knife a get them from the roots up.

When we moved here 2 years ago all we had was weeds for a lawn. (This used to be a field) I did some grass seed last year which took off pretty well. Then I got some stuff at Lowes called Weed and Feed. It is supposed to kill many different types of weeds and feed your grass so that it can choke out future weeds from growing. Now my yard is almost all grass and very little weeds. Good luck. Oh, and it's not a spray it is granules.

Your garden store can recommend the correct "weed and feed" product for your area. If you have a really bad spot it might be worth using Round-up which kills most everything. Then reseed that area.

You shouldn't spray anything! It is very bad for the enviroment! It goes into the rivers and the fish die and then it comes around back to you when you eat the fish or drink water.
