As a gardening and landscaping expert, I can provide you with some guidance on when to apply weed and feed to your lawn. The best time of year to apply this product is typically in the spring, after the weeds start popping up. This is because spring is a time when the weeds are actively growing and are more susceptible to the herbicides in the weed and feed product.
Applying weed and feed in the spring allows you to target the young, actively growing weeds before they have a chance to spread and take over your lawn. It is important to wait until the weeds are actively growing, as the herbicides in the product need to come into contact with the weed’s foliage to be effective.
Ideally, you should apply weed and feed when the weeds are small and before they have a chance to produce seeds. This will help prevent the spread of weeds and minimize the need for future applications. However, if the first application in the spring doesn’t completely remove all the weeds, you may need to apply a second dose.
If a second application is necessary, it is best to wait until fall to apply weed and feed again. Fall is another time when weeds tend to be more active, and it allows you to target any weeds that may have survived or emerged over the summer months. Applying weed and feed in the fall can help control any remaining weeds and prevent them from spreading and becoming a problem in the following year.
In my personal experience, I have found that applying weed and feed in the spring and fall has been effective in keeping my lawn weed-free. However, it is important to read and follow the instructions on the product label carefully, as different brands and formulations may have specific recommendations for timing and application rates.
To summarize, the best time of year to apply weed and feed to your lawn is in the spring after the weeds start growing. If a second application is necessary, wait until fall to apply another dose. By targeting the weeds during their active growth periods, you can effectively control and prevent their spread in your lawn.
