You guys watch Allyn Hayne The Lawn Care Nut or Ryan Knorr YouTube channel?
Totally agree on the Foxtail! I have those everywhere? What can I use to eliminate those? For Winters I just throw down Scott's again and call it a year. The local lawn company will be doing its annual sprinkler winterizing special for $40 in October and that's usually when I let the lawn go dormant

Ha! I started watching Allyn Hayne. Some of it gets repetitive but he has character and I still learn something.
My understanding is that you pretty much have to dig foxtail out. If bad enough, some fill and seed would be needed. I think the quinclorac (Q4) I hit mine mostly did the trick but I also never did a follow-up treatment. My house is new construction and I have a privately owned empty lot next to mine so I think I got it mostly from there (along w/ some other stuff). I'll have to be a lot more proactive next year. I have a lawn care company that I use and they'll come out and put down a pre-emergent in the spring at no charge.
I think I am going to slowly take over the weed and lawn feeding, though. I calculated the cost of milo and it'd be near $200/feeding. If I went down to a half lb per 1000 sq ft, it'd cost about $100. My biggest challenge in the backyard is that it was all seeded by the builder so it needs to thicken out in all the random barespots. I also have gotten a fair amount of lawn rust in areas. My dog looks like he got into a bag of doritos if he scamps about long enough. The front is a lot better but got hit by sod webworm. Now I know what to look for so I'll smite those bastards next year if I see them.
