Getting the Most Out of Your Scotts Weed and Feed

When it comes to maintaining a lush and healthy lawn, one of the most important steps is controlling weeds. That's where Scotts Weed & Feed comes in - a powerful solution that not only kills weeds but also feeds your grass for a greener, thicker appearance. However, if you want to get the best results from this product, there are a few key tips and precautions to keep in mind.

Don't Water Your Lawn Too Soon

One of the most important things to remember when using Scotts Weed & Feed is not to water your lawn for at least 24 hours after application. This may seem counterintuitive, especially if you're used to watering your lawn regularly. However, washing away the weed control particles before they can fully work can reduce the effectiveness of the product.

Apply to a Wet Lawn

Another important tip when using Scotts Weed & Feed is to apply it to a wet lawn. This means waiting until the grass has been watered by dew or sprinkling before applying the product. Rain can also be helpful, but make sure to check the forecast and apply on a day that won't be followed by rain in the next 24 hours.

Use the Right Spreader

To get even application of Scotts Weed & Feed, you'll need a lawn spreader. Fill your spreader according to the instructions provided with the product, and then walk at a steady pace slightly overlapping each pass. This will help ensure that the particles adhere to weed leaves for best results.

Don't Forget to Clean Up

Finally, make sure to clean up any spills or overspray from hard surfaces by sweeping them back onto the lawn. This will keep valuable feeding nutrients on your grass and out of storm drains.

By following these simple tips, you can get the most out of your Scotts Weed & Feed and achieve a healthier, weed-free lawn. And if you need a new spreader or have any questions about application, be sure to visit your local Valu store for assistance.
