[color=#222222]My lawn is struggling and has been since I moved in two years ago. I had it slice seeded at the beginning of April. The plan drawn up by the company I'm working with was to slice seed super early and then apply weed control after the seeds germinated. But the seeding didn't take - possibly due to cold temperatures (I live in the northeast). So the company's new plan is to apply weed control this month (May) and then reseed in June. However, I've read that a lawn should not be reseeded until 4 months after a pre-emergents application. So is the company I'm working with just wrong? If so, what route should I go? Pre-emergent application now and then reseed in the fall. Or, scrap the weed control application and just reseed right now?[/color]

Certain small engines require oil mixed into gas in about 1:50 ratio. It is said not to use if mixture is more than two months old. But if I have some that is close to two months old, can I use it in my mower ( that uses plain gas ) instead of discarding the soon-to-be-old mixyure?
