OK Spring is approaching and I love to be outside. So do my girls. Anyways we have noticed that we are getting stickers bad. Is there anything that we can use to kill the stickers and also feed our lawn to make it green. At a reasonable price.

Ochard Supply, Ace, and Home Depot all sell an easy-to-use product called weed-and-feed. It is a fertilizer+herbicide product which can be easily applied with a lawn fertilize spreader (hand or walk behind). You;ll spread the product on a moist morning where you have DEW present. Apply the product, allow to dry for 24-48 hours (KEEP YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS and dogs OFF). If you don't expect rain in the forecast, simply turn on your sprinklers to "water-in" the material (or remaining fertilizer). In 2-4 days you should notice the weeds are struggling, in 7-10 days you should notice a greener lawn.
PRECAUTION: Be sure not to apply material to flower beds or other desirable plants.
I think this product is easier to use than mixing a sprayer with chemicals. Most homeowners don't know how to read labels (and application rates) and often fail to clean out there spray equipment properly- causing problems for next usage.
Good Luck!

by stickers? do you mean thistles? If so, by some Weed-B-Gone and spray it on them. Thistles are hard to kill so you many need to spray them 2-3 times.
