How to Use Weed & Feed Fertilizer
Weed & feed is a product manufactured for residential use to fertilize a lawn and kill weeds at the same time. Some contain extras, such as additional nitrogen or extra minerals. It is a time-saving product for the home gardener and comes in granule and liquid formulas. The liquid form generally comes in a container that includes a hose attachment so that all you need to do is attach it and spray the lawn according to package directions. The granular formula requires a bit of extra work. Apply the weed & feed in spring or fall while weeds are actively growing. Does this Spark an idea?
