Tools Needed

To apply Solutions Weed & Feed, you will need to broadcast the product with a push spreader or hand spreader. It is also helpful to have a scale and bucket to measure out how much product you need based on your treatment area.

How to Use

• Step 1: Prepare your lawn by mowing it to its normal height 1 to 2 days before application, and water your lawn thoroughly at least 1 day before application. Mowing your lawn ensures a less dense treatment area, allowing the fertilizer an easier time to reach the soil. Watering ensures your soil does not go dry during treatment, which could negatively impact the effectiveness of this product.
• Step 2: Calculate the amount of Solutions 15-5-10 Weed & Feed Fertilizer with Trimec to use by calculating your treatment areas square footage. Do this by multiplying the areas length by its width. For most applications you will need to apply 3.2 to 4.0 pounds of product per 1,000 square feet of treatment area.
• Step 3: When its time to apply, load your spreader with the proper amount of Solutions 15-5-10 Weed & Feed with Trimec and put the spreader on the correct setting for your specific spreader model (check the label for details). If you are unsure which setting to use with your spreader, you can test your spreader settings on 250 sq. ft. of turf. You are aiming to apply at a rate of 1 pound of product per 250 sq. ft., so adjust your settings until this rate is reached. You can use a bucket and weight scale to measure the amount you need. Try to time your application towards the morning so the grass is wet with dew. If the grass is not covered with dew when applying, lightly sprinkle the lawn with water before applying the product.
• Step 4: Evenly distribute all of your Solutions 15-5-10 Weed & Feed Fertilizer with Trimec throughout your treatment area. With a push spreader, broadcast half your granules at a perpendicular angle to cover the area in its entirety. You can do this by beginning to broadcasting the product starting at the edge of the lawn and walk all the way around the perimeter of the yard at a steady pace. Then walk back and forth across the yard to cover the space in the middle. Make sure you have applied the product on a day without rainfall, and water your lawn again 1 to 2 days after application. This will give the product time to properly absorb into the treated weeds.

Where to Use

Solutions 15-5-10 Weed & Feed Fertilizer with Trimec can be applied to home lawns with warm season grasses like bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, St. Augustinegrass, Bahiagrass, and centipedegrass. It can also be applied over cool season turf like Kentucky bluegrass, fescues, and perennial ryegrass in residential lawns. 

Apply Solutions 15-5-10 Weed & Feed Fertilizer with Trimec directly to your lawn, and sweep any product that may have landed on the driveway, sidewalk, gutter, or street back into the treatment area.

When to Use

Special Considerations

Solutions 15-5-10 Weed & Feed Fertilizer with Trimec comes in a 50 pound bag composed of 15% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphorus, and 10% Potassium. We recommend you conduct a soil test at least once a year to figure out how much of each nutrient your lawn needs. Typically, a lawn needs at least 1 pound of Nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. per growing season. 

Use this product in conjunction with an additional fertilizing program to achieve this. Be careful not to add too much Nitrogen, as this will encourage weed growth & other adverse effects in your lawn.
