Question

I just fertilized my lawn last week. how long should i wait until i can spray down some weed killer?

Answer 1

Weed killer can be applied at the same time.  They do not interfere with one another. However, it is not good to apply weed killer during hot weather. You'd be better waiting for the cooler Fall weather, or if you are so inclined, to pull them during the summer months if you do not have a lot of weeds.

Answer 2

Nonsense, weeds can be killed any time- anyplace.   The important thing is to properly i.d. your weeds.  Do you have 'grassy' weeds or 'broadleaf' weeds?  This will determine what type of product you purchase.  

Just make sure you read the instructions on the label.  If it says 4 oz./ per 1,000 sq. ft.  (and you have about 250 sq. ft.)  Well, you'd better not put more than 1 ounce in the sprayer.  This is how most people ruin there lawns- they don't measure OR have a good sprayer.  

OR they use the same sprayer to kill weeds in there driveway (w/ round-up) as they do to try and kill weeds in the grass!!!

Good Luck

Happy Killing

Answer 3

weed killers can be tricky...especially in the heat of summer.Be sure of the kind of lawn you have and read the label from top to bottom.So many weed killers are put in the hands of consumers by store employees who dont know a weed killer from a 57 chevy.
