Customer Reviews for Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone

I have been using this Fertilome Weed Free Zone on Dandelions for three years. I have been individually hand spraying them because they said not to use a broadcast sprayer. Applying it is in the spring and twice in September as instructed. I have more than when I started. I think it actually multiplies them. It does not appear to have any killing affect on dandelions at all. Very high cost for very poor performance. Recommend not wasting your money.

I live in Oklahoma and have a lawn with more weeds than grass. Products from this site have saved my life several times so I did my research, and read great reviews for WFZ. I purchased some along with a Chapin hose end sprayer. I applied the product as directed and assumed I would see some results in a few days. Nothing, so I waited a week, nothing, so I waited for 10 days-it has been two weeks and the weeds are slightly lighter in color-thats it! I am on a budget and am very disappointed about the money I spent needlessly and quite baffled considering the reviews! Where do I go from here? BTW, I love the sprayer-reviews were spot on with it...

  Expert response:
You may have weeds that are not covered under the Weed Free Zone. Also, if the weeds are not actively growing or are under stress from drought or extreme heat, it will take more time for the herbicide to be effective. If you have more undesirable than desirable plants, you can also use a non-selective herbicide such as RoundUp QuickPro to clear the entire area, and then reseed the lawn to start fresh: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/roundup-quikpro-15-oz-packs-p-1125.html

I followed the instructions exactly and even added spreader sticker but product failed to kill even one weed in my yard. Followed up two weeks later with a second application with the same results. Very disappointed given the money spent for this product and the spreader sticker, complete waste of money. I have St. Augustine grass, live in south Florida and applied product in Feb.

I have enjoyed purchasing things from Domyown in the past , but this weed killer / controller did not work at all for me. I followed the instructions exactly. I even asked a lawn service person what I might need to do. He advised cutting my grass first then spraying. Still it did nothing to talk about. It did make a few of the leaves turn brown but that was the extent of it. At the moment I just don't know that to do so I will just keep my lawn cut short where it is not so noticeable. Thankyou for letting me express my review.

I bought this herbicide to kill the Prostrate Spurge thats growing all over my lawn. It didn't work on the Spurge or on any of the other weeds that I sprayed it on. I used it for spot treatment.

Bought it to kill clover and it is thriving. Looks like it has killed the crab grass.

I had high hopes for the product. I purchased a new sprayer so I could follow the directions precisely and was excited to rid my lawn of weeds. None of my neighbors does anything in their yards, so I am fighting weeds constantly. The product did get rid of some of the dandelions but didn't make much of a dent in anything else. I'll keep looking for something that will help me in my battle of the weeds.

Bought it to kill off Henbit. Used at the highest recommended dilution rate barely made a cent almost 2 weeks later

I've been battling Wild Violets for years with no success. I purchased this product because of it's different chemical makeup as compared to off the shelf products like Ortho which have no effect at all on violets. After one application the violets looked sick and showed some browning after a week, while other colonies showed no damage. I upped the dose by 1/2 once per gallon and hit them again, this time with better results but some yellowing of surrounding grass. I am encouraged so far and time will tell.

I used it o my front lawn and the back yard; both have Bermuda grass and plenty of weeds. april showers in Texas provide a good environment for the weeds to grow. I am going to try again after the rainy season. Maybe it will be more effective .

Seemed to work on some broad leaf weeds, but not all. Did not do anything to clover. Not a very effective product and too expensive.

Product was effective in killing spreading Clover and dandelion in the 1st application, but didn't kill ragweed. Overall, the effectiveness and price was consistent with big box-store weed killers...nothing special about it.

Mixed as a spot treatment. Burned my grass. Try it on the lower recommended dose first.

Weed Free Zone is the only product that I have found that will control wild violets in my grass. But, it does take more than one application especially on older, more mature plants. Of course it works great on the regular broad leaf weeds too. Don't forget to use a surfactant so that the product will wet the leaves.

Put it on about 2 weeks ago and the weeds are gone. I have a 1 acre lot and 2 bottles were not enough--will order 3 next time. Fetilome Weed Free Zone is the best weed killer I have ever applied--will use it exclusively from now on. That said, it does not kill bermuda grass (a grass I think of as a weed) nor will it kill new weeds that are now sprouting from the ground--now I need a good pre-emergent for this fall

Kills clover well, still learning about other weeds listed on product label. I will buy again!

sceptical at first but after a couple of weeks the weeds began to die and yes the St. Augustine did yellow but is now beginning to recover. Be careful to not exceed the amount of product recommended.

I had bought this in late Spring and didn't find the time to apply it until late June. I followed the directions and got zero results trying to eliminate creeping Charlie in my lawn After doing some further research I realized that this works best in Spring or Fall. I bought another bottle and applied in September and it worked much better. Killed about 60-70% of the area I treated. I will reapply in early Spring next year and hopefully kill off the rest

It came in the bottle. It was liquid. I mixed it per directions. I sprayed it per directions. Took 2 applications to kill all the purslane. I am satisfied.

Worked after 2nd application. Make you spray only the weeds.

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

Only turns grass yellow if you apply too much. But it works as advertised weeds can start dying within a few days. And it mostly stops new weeds from popping up. Works better than anything I've seen.

I expected a quicker response from the product. I will need to do another application during the drier & cooler season.

This product works very well. I've been having a terrible problem with creeping Charlie and until I found this I was going nuts

It got many of the weeds on the first spraying. I have a lot of henbit and it seems to be killing the young plants but not the larger ones. I have spot sprayed a second time. We will see.

Product worked very well. I applied about 5 days after mowing to allow the weeds to grow. Then waited 2 days for the product to penetrate the plants roots. You can't mow to early after application I had a pretty bad infestation of clover and some other broadleaf weeds Will probably have to spot treat some of the weeds that the application didn't remove
