Weed n feed seems to be a cruel joke, what is the secret to getting rid of the yellow lawn weeds?

Napalm. As is Campfire custom, I've not read any of the replies so sorry if it's already been mentioned.

The only luck I have had... is to mow them short a few times. Then they die out.....

Yesterday it was so windy, I tried pouring a 5 gallon pail of water onto the ground and it wouldn't go. I tried it 7 times, not a drop went on the ground. Canada got 35 gallons of precip yesterday. (south wind)
You're welcome Canada!

Ortho Weed-B-Gone. I've got a couple of acres so I bought this little handy dandy sprayer that I drag behind my tractor. It hooks up to the battery and has an electric pump. You've got to get'em early in the season when they're cranking and before the bastrds start spreading their demon seeds.
Weed and feed sucks. You have to put it down when the grass is wet so the granules will stick to the leaves of the broad leaf weeds. Plus, you ought to feed in the fall.

Ortho weed b-gon can be purchased at Walmart and other retailers. Works for me. Can also be bought in concentrate by the gallon if you have a large job. Small area like lawn use a hose end sprayer.
If this fails invite a passel of vegetarians over for dandelion salad. GW

Was trying while you were posting StoneCutter. Least Dave got the same answer from two people on here. Pretty hard to do in the political season. GW

Dave if you are doing the yard just get some weed be gone. it comes in a bottle that has a hose attachment on it.
Just screw on the garden hose and turn it on,water the yard and it will get them. Works for diacondria(just think i sent spell check into spasms).

Weed be gone for plants already maturing. When I plan ahead, winterizer fertilizer with a preventative in it does a pretty good job.
