DON’T Use Weed & Feed!!! *USE THIS INSTEAD*
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Thinking about using Weed & Feed? WATCH THIS.
Weed and feed is a type of lawn fertilizer that contains both herbicides and fertilizer. While it may seem like a convenient solution for maintaining a healthy and weed-free lawn, the truth is that weed and feed is the least effective way to apply weed control to your lawn.
Firstly, weed and feed products contain herbicides, which are designed to kill weeds. While these chemicals can be effective at eliminating weeds, the mode of action weed and feed uses is not t effective. Weed and feed requires you to spread granular herbicide across a wet lawn. Granular herbicide is not as effective as using a liquid herbicide. In this video, I recommend using an alternative herbicide called Ortho Weed Be Gon which is a liquid herbicide and is much more effective
Furthermore, weed n feed products can have negative impacts on the environment. When you apply these weed & feed to your lawn, you broadcast it across your whole lawn, even to areas that don’t need weed control. Using an alternative liquid herbicide will allow you to spot treat weeds instead of broadcasting everywhere.
Another issue with weed & feed products is that they often contain high levels of nitrogen which is essential nutrients for plant growth. However, if these nutrients are applied in excess, they can cause harm to your lawn. Its very easy to burn your lawn with weed and feed as it contain both a high amount of herbicide and a high amount of nitrogen.
In conclusion, weed and feed products may seem like a convenient solution for maintaining a healthy and weed-free lawn, but the truth is that they can be harmful to the environment and your health. Instead of using weed and feed products, consider using a separate dedicated liquid herbicide and a dedicated fertilizer.

Came here to say exactly this. I've watched a lot of lawn videos and this video is excellent!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Ive started using a drop spreader instead of a broadcast. There is less mess. You will put down the proper rate regardless of how fast or slow you walk. And you wont stripe the lawn and you ensure every square inch get of the lawn gets proper coverage. My lawn has never looked better. Ive also mounted my spray bottle to my rider, that way i can spot treat as i mow.
very helpful , Im restoring a lawn that was not taken care of...I over seeded last late august and it turned nicely green and filled in by october. Springtime now and looking to bring it to golf course level and will use this method
I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH..I’ve been using liquid and dry granulated Weed and feed, but never knew the yard had to be wet when using granulated. I do agree the liquid app is easier and now you e helped me realize it’s time to STOP messing with that dry messy stuff!! Thanks you..gotten the hose connection bottles and walking tall!!!

I use BOTH. A Scott 3 n 1 and the Ortho spray. The Ortho goes down first. Now with the lawn wet, i drop the Scotts 3 n 1. It now sticks to the weed leaves as they are damp. These works great and between the two, clears up stubborn weeds like Creeping Charlie in no time as well as feeding my lawn. Indeed since starting this approach my lawn is nearly weed free and is so thick it essentially just crowds out everything else.

I typically use a liquid herbicide early in the season but then supplement the first fertilizing with a Weed and Feed before switching to just a fertilizer for the rest of the season. Live in a very windy area and as long as my neighbors take care of their lawn, once they've all got their herbicide going we don't see much for weeks beyond the occasional clover.

I’ve used weed and feed in a bottle that you attached to a garden hose. You turn the water on and the bottle of weed and feed acts like a nozzle so that you can spray it on the yard. Used it once and it worked great.
Great content 👌- was great to hear point about 'apply when lawn is wet' - not a clean or easy task ever. I've created cover for my spreader and have used it on rainy days when the timing is right ;-)
Thanks for the video. I’m the opposite when it comes to fertilizer. I specifically buy Lesco fertilizer because of the larger granules. The granules are heavier which means they get thrown further distance by the spreader. That’s important if you have a Scotts spreader. Most people will tell you they hate their Scotts spreader because it doesn’t properly distribute the fertilizer. That does not happen when you use Lesco granules in a Scotts spreader.

Big TMK I have some areas of the property that I'm trying to get the grass to continue to come in, expand from the rest of the yard and I'll use it as areas to let the horse graze. I am not going to break the bank or really spend a significant amount of money and would rather let it grow in naturally. What I've done was pull up as much weeds as I can and feel like lol and use an old school slang blade to sling small trees/shrubs and loppers to cut the one's that are a little thicker, I cut those down close to the ground. I think that once the grass starts taking over then it'll choke out those roots of the small trees and I'll continue to sling them down anyway. From what you just said though what do you think would be the best combo to use or thing to do and again I'm not trying to beautify my actual yard/lawn but just get the grass to come up evenly for the most part or decent then it'll be fine. Trying to give it a little boost I guess. I also think I need to give it attention in the fall as well as the spring to help it out but for now this late in the game what might be best to do, and spring fall recommendations?

Bottom line - I learned a lot after thinking I already had a good knowledge b bae (since I'm 72). The one area I would have liked to have heard - is seasonal frequency. What you described in this video was geared for spring. How about the other 3 seasons? Maybe you already have another video that speaks to that.

Great product advice. Counter-point re what to buy. Buy the diluted product in the gallon spray container AND the concentrate. Why? When the diluted mix runs out, you mix the concentrate into the pre-labeled spray container. No cross contamination in a poorly cleaned sprayer and no need to spend $$ on a dubious spray bottle.
As a landscape Pro, you know people give me money for how nice I keep their yard, Scott's is the best. Early spring and then again in July and you will never have weeds and your grass grows! The part about water was just nonsense, just keep watering your lawn it all works out.
I have moved on from weed and feed products many years ago. They do work if you apply properly as instructed which most homeowners dont do. I do agree that scotts makes a high end quality fert. The prill size is primo. Some brands are like spreading rock salt like YM. Once i deplete inventory i will be using some basic fert such as Urea and AMS. My lawn will look incredible regardless whether a 10 bag or 100 bag. Its more about passuon and effort to acheiving goals. Watxh my ProVista KBG project.

I always use Scotts Weed and Feed for “southern” lawns, St Augistine. I apply in March on a dry lawn and then hit the sprinkler system over night. I like to apply Spectricide granuals at the same time for the fire ants. I have the greenest and weed free lawn on the block. The weed and feed is a preemergant and does not work as well on established weeds. The Southern version is not messy as you desribed and quick and easy. It has a lot of nitogen to get the fast green in the spring and not good for rthe rest of the year because you will be making too much grass. I do not like weed sprayers, they are messy. If I have sprayed it is a gress edger type or a hose sprayer for the entire lawn. Once St Augistine kicks in it overtakes all weeds unlike northern lawns.

Yes the bulk liquids are better than the RTS bottles because you can control the application rates more accurately. In the RTS bottles, there’s no way to tell how much product came out and whether the amount went on the requisite surface area.
Great information George. Thanks
Hi George! Thanks fir the great explanation! I am wondering, though, won't the Weed Killer kill my grass on the areas I apply it?
Great video. I like your style. I bought a hundred pounds of Scott's W&F on an off season sale and I'm not sure I'll even put it down now that the snow finally disappeared.

Appreciate that rigo!
Just a few advantages of using these 2 products are that Ortho's lawn weed killer concentrate has the highest concentration of 2,4D out of all the lawn weed killers. Also, The Scotts lawn fertilizer is one of the few fertilizers that also has "Iron" as a ingredient which helps with greening up your lawn. 24 year HD associate here. This video is spot on.

Also, be careful with the lawn weed killers......they are temperature sensitive and consistent temps over 90 may actually damage your lawn.
Year 3 of weed and feed. Few weeds and lots of green .8 acres. Neighbors use pro lawn care but they always ask me who or what I use to care for my lawn. I do spot weed during the year in some areas.
I already bought the triple action weed and feed so I'm just going to use it (newbie) but I dig the vids none the less.
This video is a lifesaver, thank you!!
