The wet weather has the low part of my yard in a mess. Is it too late to spray a light does of roundup equivalent to kill the weeds - mostly broadleaves, some dandelions and a fair crop of yellowtops? My bermuda is coming in great on the upper (dryer) part of the yard but never has taken good hold on this lower area with heavier soils.
Or, should I wait till it warms up and hit with MSMA?
INput and maybe dosing rates would be helpful.

I don't have any professional experience in the area, but I am a mad scientist in my storage room. I personally would not spray roundup this late in the spring on an area that I want grass to grow anytime soon. I would wait and use the MSMA when it warms up a bit.
Just my $.02

weed free zone or trimec (non crabgrass version) for broadleaf weeds...both found at local co-op. msma later for grassy weeds.

Anybody know where I can find this MSMA you speak of? I've got a good number of johnsongrass clumps popping up and it seems I need to find MSMA.

I bought some from Helena in Canton last year.
