    Q
    Can Weed Free Zone be used to treat a rock garden to prevent weeds from growing, not just kill existing weeds
    I have a large rock area that I would like to spray to prevent new weeds from growing. I understand the product is used to kill existing weeds but want to know if I can used it to prevent new weed growth by spraying my rock areas.
    A
    The Fertilome Weed Free Zone is only a post emergent herbicide and will only kill existing weeds.  It will not prevent any from growing. Surlan is our most popular pre-emergent product for rock landscapes.

    Q
    I might be missing it, but does the label on Fertilome Weed Free Zone not give water rates per fluid ounce?
    If I want to broadcast treat St. Augustine at a rate of 1.5 fl. oz per 1,000 square feet how much water do I use per 1.5 fl. oz?
    A
    The reason there are not exact water rates is because water just acts as the carrier. It is however much water it takes for you to disperse 1.5 ounces over 1000 square feet. With that said, we generalize that 1 gallon will treat approx. 1000.

    Q
    How well does Fertilome Weed Free Zone work on wild onion in lawns?
    I live in upstate South Carolina and the wild onion is in full growth due to the mild winter we are having. Is there a better product to eliminate wild onion?
    A
    Fertilome Weed Free Zone will work well on wild onion in lawn species listed on the product label. Be sure to apply the product to the weeds during a time when the wild onion will be susceptible to herbicides, you may want to contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff to determine timing as it will vary from region to region

    Q
    When is the correct time to apply Weed Free Zone for wild violets in Fescue?
    I'm wanting to spray my yard to kill the weeds off this fall. Is it too late to use this in central Indiana? I did this a few weeks ago but the wild violets survived! Should I increase the mixture to kill these? I have bluegrass, fescue mix grasses.
    A
    According to the Fertilome Weed Free product label: Spring and Fall treatments under adequate soil moisture conditions are preferred to the Summer treatments. Generally, Summer broadcast applications to older, drought stressed weeds are less effective. Broadcast (entire areas) applications or follow-up applications at 2-6 week intervals are recommended for more mature Weeds, for dense infestations, and for adverse environmental conditions. Spot treatments during summer may be appropriate for sparse infestations, or as a follow-up treatment, or any time broadleaf weeds are susceptible. For more specific information or application tips we recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly. You can reach VPG at 888-583-5296.
