    You should notice that weeds are starting to yellow or die about two weeks after the application of Fertilome Weed Out. Spray at any time when weeds are growing. For best results, apply in Spring when weeds are small and growing rapidly. Apply in Fall to remove late germinating weeds.

    Q
    What is the difference between Fertilome Weed-Out and Fertilome Weed Free Zone?
    I've used the Weed Free Zone on my lawn in the past with good results. What's the difference between Weed Free Zone and the Weed Out? Specifically, does one do more weeds, is one safer for lawns, does one last longer? The Weed Out seems a little cheaper. I live in Central Pa and have Penn State mix grass.
    A

    These products have slightly different formulations. Ferti-Lome Weed-Out with Trimec contains: 

    Mecoprop dimethylamine salt - 5.45%
    2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - 5.88% 
    Dicamba - 1.21%

    Weed Free Zone contains:

    2,4-D, 2-ethylhexyl ester - 10.49% 
    Mecoprop-p, acid - 2.66% 
    Dicamba, acid - 0.67% 
    Carfentrazone-ethyl - 0.54%

    Weed Free Zone is a newer formulation made for faster results, but since it is more aggressive, it should not be used on improved varieties of St Augustine turfgrass.

    Is there anything I can use to kill dogfennel that won't kill the grass?

    Centipedegrass and St. Augustinegrass; Warm Season Grasses such as Bermudagrass, Bentgrass, and Buffalograss; and on Cool Season Grasses such as Bluegrass, Fescue, and Zoysiagrass. You will need to refer to the Product Label to see what the usage rate for your specific type of grass is. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
