dandelions, prickly lettuce, clover and one that looks like a clover/alchemilla(doesn't die with RU). I saw about 3 clumps of grass, very thick, but blades aren't that wide maybe 5-6mm wide. I'll buy Tenacity and I'll try it.

Looks like CGM is what really made my lawn dark green. The reason I am saying this is because I remember applying it on my 2007 lawn and it became dark green. Then 2008, I only spread sbm but I only saw small improvement. 2009, I used sbm again. However, same year end of season, I renovated my lawn.

This year, I tried cgm again and it's the same behavior I saw in my lawn.

Below is my lawn this morning before I went to work. Glad it rained! It started raining last night and it was scary.

I got home around 3:30 and I'm really happy everytime I see my lawn. It is the darkest lawn in the block. I am extremely happy with result of the per week slight dose application of urea. It thickened it. Broadcast spreader setting was 3.5 in case you ask. :)

Here is another picture I took 2 days ago around 3pm @ 95F!!! I increased the brightness in Photoshop extremely high to see how my lawn's green will look. It still looks good. My neighbor's lawns are close to disappearing. LOL!!!
