I've laid grass seed because I'm trying to fill in many dirt patches. When is it okay to apply this weed and feed? Will it harm the grass seed?

Once grass is fully established. Otherwise the weed formula will kill the new seed.

Sorry, I don't know. I do know that when you use potting/grading soil it already has fertilizer mixed in. I have seen of some of the TV shows they put fertilizer down when lay sod. There is no need to use this which includes week killer. The weeds have to be present and damp so the killer will stick to the weed and penetrate the leaf. I really think it would not do any good till the grass has been established. You should just use fertilizer, but if you already have the Turf Builder, I would try it.

Weed controls can affect germination. Don't apply Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed to a newly seeded lawn until the grass is up and growing and has been mowed at least 4 times. If you apply the product prior to seeding, you will need to wait 4 weeks before seeding.

it is critical that you wait to fertilize your new grass again until four to eight weeks have passed. .. yes it can harm growth.

you c apply the turf builder right away, it will not harm the grass or the seed

It is the best grass seed I've used . I prepped the dirt with fertilizer . And seeded 2 time what the recommend amount. water 3 times a day at 15 to 20 minutes a day for 3 weeks ,I put a new seed fertilizer down at 3 weeks. I also do not cut my grass short , My cut length is about 3.5" long .And I bag all my clippings.My neighbors cut shorter and their lawn look brown in late July till fall.If your looking for a good quality seed use this seed..

I would say yes. The absolute best time to plant grass seed is in the fall. If you plant in the spring, the grass seedlings don't get much chance to develop a good root system. I suggest you wait until Sept/Oct.

I put them directly on the ground lined with old newspaper. If grass is growing where I want to place it, I first kill the grass. RoundUp Extended works quickly and well... no ill effects have been observed after having the garden in-place for several years. Also, if on-grass, I edge around the border of the garden with the RoundUp to keep the grass from jumping into the garden.

Its a soil amendment so your using a small amount mixed into a large amount of dirt then slowly released. i've used way over recommended amount and just had super awesome root structure. so no i dont think so. i've used it on lots of things. everything is thriving. bought it for cannabis and used it on tons of things.

Depends on temperature and what your target weeds are. Read the fold out on the container. It's pretty explicit. but, don't expect this stuff to work. It used to be a wonderful product but something, I suspect the EPA, happened to it.

We have Floratam grass and it works well, but less is better. If you use too much it stunts the grass for a couple of weeks but it is the ONLY product that works on weeds. We LOVE the stuff, just use as directed :-)

I over seeded an area of my lawn with black beauty. It came up fine. The lawn is softer where I added black beauty. It grows well in normal areas. I would not use it in an area that is shaded or difficult to grow grass in.

It states on the package the product will defoliate any plant. As for actually "killing" the grass, roots and all, I would suspect not. It'll certainly damage the turf, and likely kill patches. But I don't know if I would rely on it to kill an area of turn in preparation for a planting bed, or something of that nature. By the same token, spraying weeds within your lawn will certainly result in turf loss in the areas sprayed.

I swore by this product when I was trying to get my grass to grow. I never had any problems with weeds. I never noticed any seeds either.

Technically yes; however, I would recommend using a hand spreader with the correct recommendations for the type of grass seed you are applying. Some seed types recommend mixing with a ratio of sand into the hand spreader along side the seed as well...ie.. 5:1.

It is a very aggressive weed that looks awful in a lawn. Maybe it would work for what you need, but be careful about it's spreading. See if there is another plant that would work without being so aggressive.

My experience with Canada green grass is not very good. I got a lot of weeds a few months after I applied the seeds.

Be careful not to use to much concentrate, it may take a while to work as in a week or 2 but it WILL work, and if you spray too much or too heavy you will kill your good grass too.I found that it worked best used just below the recommended amount and a light spray. It's hard to see the amount you spray so stay on the side of caution.You can always reapply and learn as you I, but it's much worse to have to regroup your yard. Good luck!

great question. I applied this product a day prior to a rain storm. after the rain storm I noticed that the rain did not dilute the effectiveness of this product. exactly a week later all my weeds r all brown and withered away

Yes, sprinkle it over the grass seed to hold in moisture and decrease birds eating the seed.

Grass does not need to be completely killed. You do have to make sure you water the seeds according to directions and keep out as many weeds as possible.
