When to Apply Weed & Feed 24-0-16
For the best results, apply Weed & Feed 24-0-16 in the spring or fall.
However, you can use it anytime you notice broadleaf weeds actively growing in your lawn.
Established Lawns
PREP YOUR LAWN
Mow your lawn 1-2 days before applying the product.
Make sure your grass is hydrated by giving it a good watering (about half an inch) one or two days before. This is especially important if you’re in a dry spell. Your lawn must be actively growing for the weed and feed to work.
APPLY TO A WET LAWN
Spread Weed & Feed 24-0-16 in the morning when your lawn is damp with dew, or water lightly beforehand. The moisture helps the granules stick to the weeds’ leaves, which is where the product needs to be.
KEEP THE LAWN DRY AFTER APPLICATION
Keep an eye on the weather and hold off on watering for at least 24 hours after applying. Rain or running sprinklers too soon will wash away the product, reducing its effectiveness.
New Lawns
COOL-SEASON GRASS
Wait until your newly planted grass has been mowed at least three times or has developed strong roots before applying.
WARM-SEASON GRASS
Wait 3-4 weeks after laying sod, sprigs, or plugs. Use a lower application rate (half the amount recommended for established lawns).
What to Expect
You’ll start noticing weeds turning white or brown within 5-7 days of application. Complete die-off may take up to 21 days. For lawns with a lot of weeds or stubborn types, a follow-up application might be needed in 30 day intervals.
Spreader Settings
We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.

No, Weed and Feed is a post-emergent. This means that Weed and Feed will eliminate existing weeds it is labeled to control but does not prevent their presence in the future. To prevent weeds, we recommend applying Barricade.
Once the Weed & Feed has had at least 24 hours to sit on the lawn, it is okay to water it in. Once watered-in and the lawn has then completely dried, pets are safe to enter back out onto the lawn.
