    Q
    How soon can Speed Zone be re-applied?
    I sprayed the yard about 10 days ago and I don't see any signs that the creeping Charlie is dying. I don't think I used enough product when I mixed it.
    A

    The SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate may be reapplied at 2-6 week intervals for more mature weeds, dense infestations, and for adverse environmental conditions. Make sure that you have measured the lawn area to be sprayed. Once you have the square footage of the treatment area you may then mix the labeled amount of SpeedZone (depends on your grass type) with water. Please note that the amount of water that is used is not important, what is most important is that you use the labeled amount of SpeedZone over the area you are treating.

    How to Calibrate Sprayers

    1. Mark an area of 1,000 square feet (i.e. 20 by 50 feet, or 25 by 40 feet).

    2. Place the sprayer on a level surface and add water noting the final level of water in the

    spray tank.

    3. Spray the marked area with a sufficient volume of water to provide uniform coverage.

    Refill the sprayer to the same level as before measuring the amount of water added. The

    measured water added to the sprayer is the volume needed to cover 1,000 square feet.

    4. Determine the application rate (fl oz/1000 sq ft) - 1.1 oz per 1,000 sq ft up to 1.5 oz per 1,000 sq ft (depends on grass type)

    5. To each volume of water used, as measured in step 3, add the amount of SpeedZone as

    determined in step 4.

    Example:

    If the sprayer used 2 gallons of water to cover 1,000 square feet and the desired

    application rate of SpeedZone is 1.4 oz/1,000 square feet, then you would add 1.4 ounces of SpeedZone to every 2 gallons of water to be used.

    Q
    Will SpeedZone Lawn Wees Killer get rid of slender speedwell (veronica filformis)?
    I live in Zone 5, and Speedwell has taken over about half of my lawn. I would like to eliminate it now, and then plant microclover in the dead spots
    A

    SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate 20 oz. is not labeled for slender speedwell so we are uncertain how effective it would be on it.  We do carry Drive XLR8 which is labeled for it and should do a good job when applied during the flowering stage of this weed.  It should be mixed with a methylated seed soil surfactant such as Duo Stick for best results.
