I have a South Florida St. Augustine lawn. I put down Andersons .48 Barricade pre-emergent a month ago. 2 weeks ago I put down St Augustine weed and feed. Have some dying off of smaller weeds, mostly some variety of Sedge and other types. HAsn't touched the dollar weeds at all. Would like to...

I put down Barricade .48%, a granular pre-emergent on my lawn today. Do I need to wait any particular amount of time before spreading weed/feed or is it ok to water the PE in a bit and then put down fert in the next day or two? Any comments appreciated!

I have 1.5 acres lot in South Florida most of which is St. Augustine. I am looking to buy a sprayer for my Toro Zero Turn to put down the normal assortment...fertilizer, pesticide, fungicide. Does anyone know what size tank I should be getting for this much lawn? Don't mind refilling once when...
