New Orleans Fall/Winter Plan

Hello All,

I request anybody who has an opinion to help me formulate a plan for the coming fall/winter.

I have a 2000+ SqFt lawn. About 30% is great dense St. Aug, another 30% is St. Aug spreading and plugging that is not completely filled in, and the reamining 40% is either common bermuda that I am also promoting because I cannot afford to replace it right now. Obviously this leads to a comedy act of care – I mow at several different heights (one for dense SA, one for spreading SA, one for bermuda). I have to treat with just image on some parts of lawn and Image/Atrazine on others.

Crabgrass has been a bit of a problem and I put down Image 2 weeks ago. I fertiilized and insecticided about 4 weeks ago.

Where do I go from here? When should I put down pre-emergent/fertilizer/insecticide from here until the next summer.

Also I think that I destroyed a good bit of my lawn last year by putting down Bonus-S too early and feeding fungus before grass was ready to eat, so this year I want to put down pre-emergent early before I fertilize.

ANy suggestions please. thanks a ton!
