Im in north florida and just spread 10yd of pure white sand on front lawn. Had mole crickets eat entire front yard then had substantial soil loss. Only had a few spots of grass left. One week after sanding looked like a beach and put weed and feed out. Hated using nonorganic stuff but didnt have time to research what to use. Anyway two weeks later beautiful dark green centipede is coming back very quickly. But looked up and found out the one weed popping back up. I resarched and found two very similar weeds with purple flowers. I cant remeber the other but one of the weeds is called henbit. I pulled every weed by hand before i layed the sand. Now after two weeks the weed is popped back up everywhere. I dont want to kill or inhibit my new grass growth and need some suggestions on how to get rid of it. I would post pics from droid but new to site and need help with that also. Thanks.
