I have read a lot of the forum topics and found them very helpful. As the title of the topic states, I'm pretty dumb with lawn care and want to make sure I'm on the right track. I live in billings MT. My husband and I separated 2 summers ago and my lawn has suffered as a result! About half of it is over taken by what appears to be crab grass and sone type of clover I am now a single working mother, so the cheap and lazy (or busy) article was amazing (I was afraid I was going to have to till everything up and start from scratch). Now that that I have gone off on a little tangent, here is my question: I would love if I really could let the existing grass kill the weeds without doing anything, but I think it's a little too far gone for that. I just mowed for the first time and there's way more weeds than I thought! Can I just lay down seed with some type of grass (tall fescue it seems would be recommended) over the weeds? If I do, would I have to put some type of topsoil down first? Then some nitrate fertilizer? If I do it now while it's still rainy can I get an added level of lazy with the watering thing? Thanks!
