  • Asked by Matthias from Mississippi
    05/01/2013
    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.

  • Asked by Justin from Fayetteville Ga

    Q
    When to mow? Before or after application?
    I live in GA and have a centipede lawn. I haven't mowed yet but am wondering if I should apply this before or after I do. What is the time frame for waiting to apply or after applying?
    A

    Normally when applying any type of herbicide you want to delay mowing at least 2-3 days before putting down the product, and then 2-3 days after as well to give the grass full time to absorb the application.
