how do i grow grass & kill weeds at the same time? most weed killers kill the grass.?

Answer 1

AHA Lee, good news, watch commercials or go to Lowes there is a new product that kills weeds and not grass, don't you love progress???

Answer 2

it depends on the type of weeds you are dealing with...there are some weed killers that attack broad leaf weeds and leave the grass. you might want to apply a pre emergent type herbicide that keeps various weed seeds from germinating and then again use the pre emergent in the fall. The best weed guard for grassy lawns is a healthy lawn. Proper watering--feeding--mowing will also keep away the weeds. Know there is no quick fix and it may take a couple of seasons before you are happy with the results.

Answer 3

Try Levington's "Feed and Weed", available in plastic sacks from good garden centres. It's granular, so for a largish area you'll need a spreader to spread it evenly. A spreader is a sort of trough on wheels. You fill it with the "Feed and Weed" and wheel it over the grass. It's good stuff, but it works best on a lawn that is almost free of weeds to start with. Once your lawn is almost weed-free give it a regular dose of "Feed and Weed". I live in northern England and I use it every four or five weeks. It also keeps moss under control, but if you have a noticeable problem with moss (or weeds) you should not expect "Feed and Weed" to cure the problem. I bought this house brand new in 1994, and when the builder laid the lawn I started using "Weed and Feed" as soon as possible. I reckon that I've got the best-looking lawn in the neighbourhood, and it's due to regular feeding. "Feed and Weed" isn't cheap, but if you want a good-looking lawn it's the stuff to use. By the way, I have no connection with the company that makes it!

Answer 4

The best thing I ever did was to contact GreenThumb. They come about 4 times a year and feed my lawn and also put weedkiller on it. You can quite literally notice the difference in days and it works out for me at £13 per visit, therefore £1 a week!!
You will not be disappointed honestly.

Answer 5

You can buy selective herbicides which won't kill the grass. There used to be a product called Weed & Feed. I don't know how effective it was but you may still be able to get it.

Answer 6

Purchase a selective weedkiller. Dicotox Extra is a good choice. Herbicides that contain active ingredients such as 2,4 - D.

Answer 7

weed and feed is available for lawns at garden centres and diy stores. It fertilises the grass and kills the weeds at the same time, what more do you want -- its good.

Answer 8

Answer 9

You need to buy a selective weed killer for lawns.

Answer 10

Hey there, when you boil potatoes, keep the water and throw it on the weeds, its the greenest weed-killer I've seen, and it really really works! :) good luck
