Home and Auto Landscaping and law care question

**jAZ** · 10-05-2009, 09:19 AM

So I have a small patch of grass in the back yard. I turned off the sprinkler this summer because there was a problem with it. So the grass died (not just hybernated... it hasn't returned since watering resumed).

What has come back in a lot of weeds.

So I'm looking to start over.

Looking for suggestions on techniques to get back to green grass (it's about time to plant winter rye grass out here in AZ so I think the timing is OK).

I have a gallon of Ground Clear, but I don't want to use that anywhere I want grass. I have some Weed and Feed, but I wasn't sure if that was the right thing at this point (killing off the weeds first?).

Also, what's the best way to get rid of the weeds? Kill them and mow them as low as possible? Weed eater? I can't pull them all out. It's nearly the whole lawn at this point.

Any tips, techniques or suggestions?
