This works if your lawn is having weed problems.

In order to get the maximum benefit from your weed killer, spray a weak solution of children's shampoo on the lawn. Believe it or not, this washes the grime off the yard allowing your grass to make better use of sunlight while at the same time making the weeds more receptive to weed killer.

In a garden store, soil softener is called ammonium lauryl sulfate, however children's shampoo or even dish soap will do the job just fine. Use a hose sprayer that emits 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.

You can use regular or liquid weed killer with your sprayer; put in enough for about 5 gallons of water (you'll have to read your weed killer instructions) and mix with it a tablespoon of shampoo or soap with the weed killer, and apply.

Spray just the weeds, not the whole yard. Weed killer retards plant growth. Additionally, you may want to use separate sprayers so you don't accidently feed your weeds and kill your yard. Shake the sprayer periodically, keeping the solution mixed well as you spray.

It helps the grass become clean again, and since hair grows faster on a clean scalp, I think the same goes with your green grass.

You should probably just stick with lawn fertilizer. Lawn fertilizer is formulated and balanced to help grass grow. Take a trip down to your local garden supply store today!

I don't think so, but you might try watering it more often, where did you hear that about the shampoo, I think if you mix it with water you can spray your plants to keep bugs off, but I'm not sure about that.
