January 23, 2009, Newsletter Issue #226: Weed and Feed

Tip of the Week

Weed and Feed products need certain conditions in order to be effective. If you are sure of these conditions, this is a very effective tool. If you are not sure, or if your timing is wrong, the product will not work as it was designed. Make sure that:

Contact with weed leaves is good. Don't mow just before applying--instead, mow it a few days beforehand. This stimulates weed growth.

The problem weeds are broadleaf weeds. Grassy weeds, like crabgrass and dallisgrass, require different products.

The problem weeds are young and actively growing. Mature weed plants are just gonna laugh at you.

Rainfall or irrigation wonīt wash the herbicide off of the leaf. Donīt water after applying broadleaf weed control products, and donīt apply them if there is a chance of rain in the forecast.

The temperature is right. Average daily temperatures should be above 70 but below 85. The best time to apply a weed and feed product is in early spring, after the danger of frost but before the weeds have matured.
