What should I do for my Lawn?

Question

I am going to kill the weeds.

Should I use weed & feed so it fertilizes as well?

I also need to put grass seed down.

What is the best way to go about this???

Should I wait to put the fertilizer after i put grass seeds down???

Please help.

Answer 1

You would be better to wait for a month or so till the temperatures go down. Using weed and feed when the weather is hot can kill more than just the weeds. I suggest the following.

Mid September -- apply weed and feed.

End of September - rake out any dead patches and sow good quality grass seed. Keep moist but not wet. Do not fertilize.

By the end of October you should have a nice green lawn with few weeds. Next Spring, do the weed-and-feed thing again.

Answer 2

Weed and feed is junk.  If you want the weeds to be gone you need to spray them with Ortho Weed B Gone Max.  This is done once the lawn is established.

Before you put the grass down However spray everything with round up.  This is a total vegetation killer and will kill everything.  Then wait a week or two let the ground get wet again and spray everything a 2nd time this will eliminate as many weeds as possible in the soil giving you a better lawn.  

You can't put fertilizer down when you plant the grass or it will kill it.  You need starter fertilizer.  

Answer 3

be easier to answer your question if we knew where you live...all areas of the country are different when it comes to lawns.All weed killers are not safe to use everywhere.What works in one area of the country will kill the lawn in others. Read your label good...different type grasses take different type weed control.Same goes for putting out grass seed, some areas of the country you should bury it 1-2 inches..others you can cover with straw or the like.Lots of questions could be answered if we knew where you lived.
