Weed and Feed

Because pre-emergents need to be applied under certain conditions for effective results, sometimes the timing of a fertilizer application and the timing of a pre-emergent application do not line up. For these situations, you could try a post emergent weed and feed product.

Read the label carefully to make sure you've chosen a product that can be used on your type of grass and that will control the type of weeds you wish to control.

Weed & Feed is a popular product because it allows you to kill two birds with one stone. It’s also commonly used because lawns that need fertilizers are generally full of weeds too. This makes weed n feed fertilizers the perfect solution. 

Here at DoMyOwn, we carry the best weed and feed products available so you can get the job done right without paying expensive service fees. Our weed and feed products are professional grade and are not found at stores like Lowes, Home Depot, or Walmart.

Weed and Feed Directions

The directions for applying weed and feed are essentially the same for applying any general granular or liquid fertilizer. 

You can read the complete details of how to do this on our fertilizers page, but to summarize:

If using granular weed & feed
• Cut and wet down your lawn before spreading. 
• Spread weed and feed evenly with a rotary or drop spreader.
• Re-wet the lawn again thoroughly within 24 hours of applying the treatment.

If using liquid weed & feed
• Cut lawn before spraying.
• Spray liquid weed n feed evenly with one of our sprayers.
• Wet lawn after application to help the chemicals move to the roots and off the foliage.

Weed and feed ingredients

Feed and weed products contain active ingredients that are used to kill weeds and promote healthy growth in grasses and other plants. The main active ingredient varies, depending on the brand of weed and feed you are using. 

Hy-Yield Weed and Feed, for example, uses three different post-emergent herbicides to kill weeds and a 15-0-10 lawn fertilizer to provide lawn nourishment.  

Another weed and feed product we sell uses Prodiamine (Barricade) .375% as its main active ingredient.
