I have identified a problem with Chickweed and Purslane in my lawn and would like to apply an herbicide. I would also like to aerate and fertilize for fall/winter. What order or strategy would you suggest?
Thanks

Hi Jim I would suggest that you apply the herbicide now while the weeds are active to get the best results. The aeration could be done late September or early October. Winterizer fertilizer is generally applied in late October.
