4
steps to a weed-free lawn!
Here's
all you do to rid your lawn of those dandelions
and broadleaf weeds, using Fred Meyer Weed &
Feed 26-3-3:
- Let the lawn grow out to about its normal
cutting point.
- Water the lawn thoroughly first.
- While the lawn is moist, apply Fred Meyer
Weed & Feed.
- Don't water for 36-48 hours after application.
Then resume normal watering and mowing. This
time of year…check the weather reports for rain!
For best
results, use Fred Meyer Weed & Feed now through
May when weeds are young, tender and easy to control.
Fred
Meyer Weed & Feed is an excellent fertilizer
as well as a broadleaf weed control. It provides
over 1 lb. of Nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. – which
the Lawn Institute recommends.
Fred
Meyer Weed & Feed contains 15% slow release
nitrogen derived from Sulphur-coated Urea. The
nitrogen is released over time as the sulphur
is melted by either rainfall or irrigation.
Fred
Meyer Weed & Feed contains a 3-way weed killer
called Trimec. Trimec contains three different
weed killers – 2, 4-D, MCPP and Dicamba. Trimec
is a systemic herbicide that as well as entering
the weed through the leaf surface, also enters
it through the root. The synergy of the three
herbicides controls a broader spectrum of weeds
than products that only use two herbicides. An
added benefit to using Trimec in Fred Meyer Weed
& Feed is that it is a very slow and gentle
herbicide. You won't see a lot of dead weeds in
the lawn – but you WILL notice a weed-free lawn
in two to three weeks!
