Best Weed and Feed Buyers’ Guide  

As a herbicide and fertilizer combined in one product, a weed and feed is an excellent option when it comes to nourishing and maintaining the health of your lawn. They comprise a wide variety of components each of which has unique positives and negatives.

In order to buy the right weed and feed for your lawn, it is important to heed certain aspects of the product as well as the individual requirements of your garden.

Types of Weeds

Weeds have a wide variety of their own, from dandelion and clover to the more insidious ones like crabgrass. Not all weed and feed fertilizers are equally effective on each of them, and it also helps to know which type of weed your lawn abounds in. Therefore it is primary that you read the information on the packaging to confirm if the fertilizer has the capacity to tackle that particular variety of weeds.

Types of Grass

Before purchasing a fertilizer, you must know that kind of grass your lawn is composed of. A lot of weed and feed products are ineffective on certain types and some even cause severe lawn damage. In certain locations, a type of grass may also be considered a weed and in using the wrong fertilizer you may inadvertently destroy a perfectly healthy lawn. 

Types of Application

Weed and feed fertilizers come in two forms – granulated and spray. Both have their own uses and limitations and it is important to note which is compatible with the specific requirements of your lawn.

Needless to say, spray fertilizers offer quicker application as they can attach directly to your garden hose and thus cover large areas in less time. In comparison, granules pose problems in evenness and an excess of granules in one spot can lead to burning. However, this can be easily solved with the help of a spreader.
