When to apply weed and feed again?

[gregk24]

I applied weed and feed in April of this year, it was the first time ever and seemed to do a good job. Well now I have weeds popping up everywhere and want them gone! Can I apply the same product (Scotts weed and feed) again now, or do I need another product? Also is this a bad time to apply? I am finding a lot of info online, but much of it is conflicting. I want my thick grassy lawn back!

You can apply it now. It will kill both the annual and perennial weeds but the annual weeds have already set seeds in the soil for next year. I prefer to use a liquid in a pump sprayer and spot kill the weeds. That can be done anytime the temps are below 90°.

I have weeds everywhere now, spot killing might take me all day. Maybe two!

Scott's makes different weed and feeds based on the types of grass and regions of the country. The only Scott's weed and feed that you can use is Scott's Turf Builder Triple Action. It is to be applied NO MORE than twice per year. Always read the package label and follow it closely. https://www.scotts.com/en-us/products/lawn-food/scotts-turf-builder-southern-triple-action

I use TruGreen. They come out 4 times/year, and it costs less than I can buy the fertilizer/weed control locally and spend the time to apply it myself. Our zoysia grass lawn is thick, deep green and one of the nicest in the area. As long as it gets an inch of water each week it looks great.

Apply any granular weed killer when the leaves of the weed is wet which is in the morning when the dew is on the lawn.

greg24, Have you checked out the University of Florida turfgrass site(s)? They are your land grant research university that should be up to speed on best management practices for your locale: http://hort.ufl.edu/yourfloridalawn/

Apply it now! There is nothing conflicting about it Another good product for smaller lawns is Bayer Advanced Season Long Weed Control. It comes in a spray bottle that you hook up to your garden hose and apply. I normally apply this in spring then about 3 to 4 weeks later apply a granular all in one product crabgrass control, weed and fertilizer using a spreader.
