Fertilizing and weed control are two separate processes and should be dealt with accordingly. It isn't that much more work, and the time savings of applying the combination materials certainly do not justify the risks you take in the process. You may need to fertilize your plants at times that would be inappropriate for herbicides and vice versa. For example, early spring applications of weedkillers are often made around or just before the average date of the last killing freeze.

Our applications occur approximately at every six weeks. Included in all our programs is a complete broadleaf weed control application and a preventive insecticide. See similar questions...

Our fertilizers are formulated for safe use throughout the home landscape. When applied correctly, there should be no danger to pets or children. Simply keep children and pets away from the area when applying fertilizers. In addition, take reasonable precautions to prevent accidents. Store unused portions in a safe place out of the reach of children or pets. When using a fertilizer that contains weed control, keep children and pets off the treated area for 24 hours as a safety precaution. See similar questions...

Newspapers definitely have a use as a free, biodegradable, weed barrier which can be used in places where you have a weed problem. Because it can appear unsightly, especially when the wind catches it and blows it around, it is best to use it under your mulch. It needs to be several sheets thick to do the job. 4 or 5 sheets thick should stop all but the most noxious weeds. It may help to wet the newspaper before you lay it out. See similar questions...

Organic fertilizers come from sustainable, renewable sources, such as alfalfa and other natural biological materials, which do not contribute to global warming. When these fertilizers are applied to the soil, they are unlikely to leach into groundwater and are far more likely to improve soil health, fertility, and water retention capacity. Organic fertilizers are like building an annuity for your lawn that will pay you back for many years to come. See similar questions...

Answer: No. While both products will feed your lawn, natural-based fertilizers are not formulated to kill weeds. The problem with indiscriminate use of weed & feed products is that it can accidentally kill broad-leaf plants you want to grow, such as trees. Some of the chemicals used in these products can also harm soil microorganisms, which are necessary for healthy soil. See similar questions...

That 10-10-10 on the bag or bottle is best explained by remembering "up, down, all-around". The first number is the percentage of nitrogen by weight. Nitrogen promotes growth and green-up. The second number is the percentage of phosphorus by weight and is helpful for good root growth. The third number is the percentage of potassium by weight which promotes all-around plant health such as hardiness and disease resistance. Gordon's currently has 3 liquid fertilizers and a granular weed and feed. See similar questions...

No. You can't judge how much food your dog is really getting and you are teaching your dog to be a picky eatter. You want your dog to chow down the moment you put food in front of him. If your dog refuses to eat (assuming he is normally a good eatter) then you *know* there is something wrong with him. I recommend that you consult your vet. We had a boxer whose testicles were not dropping. See similar questions...

Feeding wild animals encourages them to view humans as a food source, when humans should be viewed as the potentially dangerous predators they are. It may be tempting to offer food to a cute Raccoon that has been coming to your backyard, but what happens when that same raccoon approaches another person who does not have such good intentions? That person may feel threatened and may harm the animal, not realizing the Raccoon has been trained to expect food from a human. See similar questions...

Answer: When I first started keeping grouse some 15 to 18 years ago there was no good reference material available on what to feed, and what not to feed grouse species, and that's still pretty much true today. Like most new breeders I was sure I needed to try something different in order to achieve the "big breakthrough", and have consistent success keeping and breeding them. See similar questions...

The important distinction between noxious weeds and the rest of the terms used above is that 'noxious' is a legal term applied to a plant species designated as such by State and Federal law. Each State develops individual criteria for determining which plants will be considered as noxious and then generates a list unique to that State. States have developed laws that require the control or elimination of noxious weeds by landowners. See similar questions...

Use the Feeding Guidelines on the back of the bag for correct amounts of pet food mix, meat and water to use. Measurements are based on one meal per day. If you have a puppy or a kitten, or just prefer to feed twice per day, then cut the guideline amounts in half to create two meals instead of one. And remember, the amounts and instructions are guidelines only. Every animal is different so you may need to adjust for individual needs. See similar questions...

Growing puppies, especially the large breeds, should be kept lean so adjustments to feeding amounts will have to be monitored closely. See similar questions...
