Oh you could do it now.  Typically you want to have it done prior to daily temps hitting 85 degrees or higher.

What do you guys use?
I tried Scott 3 in 1 last year and I felt like I was feeding the weeds.

Thank you letting me know.

I haven't found any that works these days. It seems that they have removed
the ingredients that kill even broad leaf weeds. I tried Bayer and Scotts bonus S
over the last year and a half. Followed directions and still have a lot of dollar
weed. I have been killing it with baking soda. They also do not seem to have
an pre emergent properties any longer.

I hit mine a few days ago.  It started growing this past week, that's when you know it's time.

Dollar weed is from over watering. Cut your times in half.

I do not water very often at all and do not live in a wet place. Dollar
weed comes from dollar weed seeds

I usually never use weed&feed as I've found spraying Atrazine with a sticker a whole lot more effective and I typically add a little Lontrel in the mix as well.  Two applications about 14 days apart and be done with it, fert whenever you feel you need it.

Getting Rid of Dollar Weed Naturally Since this weed thrives in overly moist areas, the best way to treat dollar weed is by reducing moisture in the affected area with proper mowing and irrigation. You should also improve any drainage issues that may be present.

^------This

Typically you weed and feed after the last cold snap of the season before March 1st.  I cheated and laid it down today knowing this weekend will be the last cold front. I figured I'd let the light rain water it in today.  I also supplement with liquid atrazine for spot treatment of already established weeds.  The W&F works best if you get it in the soil BEFORE weeds germinate.

If your grass is actively growing fast, you waited too long.

Good luck.

I'll have to check this out.

I haven't had the irrigation system on in 6 months and have dollarweed (and countless others I've never seen before) running rampant.

Stick yer finger in the ground and see if it is wet.

I have noticed a growing number of types of weeds in my yard over the last 3 or 4 years and
one correlation is that most of the neighbors now have lawn services doing their yards. I bet they
spread weed seeds around like crack whore spreads around STDs

That and the mowers pick up all kinds of stuff that can be on the deck or stuck under it to
dry and then be blown out at the next location.

The time is now down in the southern part of the state as temps will be rising and the window for application is closing, so I will likely be spraying sometime this week after work.
