We are about put down fertilizer. Should we treat the lawn with Drive first or after, and how much if any time in between the to?

Treat the crabgrass with Drive XLR8 first. Fertilizer application requires that it be watered. Do not fertilize and water crabgrass that you want to kill. Drive XLR8 with a surfactant is the best crabgrass killer I have used. The crabgrass will be dead in two (2) days; then fertilize and water the good grass. My Bermuda grass is spreading to fill-in the rather large dead spots.

I would treat the lawn first with Drive XLR8, wait 14 days then apply fertilizer.

You could just irrigate, or yes, apply again. Numerous instances of poor weed control occur each year because of the lack of rain or an irrigation event within 7 days of preemergence application. Additionally, irrigating-in the herbicide is an excellent method to prevent losses due to volatility and lateral herbicide leaching. Turfgrass preemergence herbicides essentially do not leach in downward direction beyond a depth of 2 to 3 inches due to binding to soil colloids and organic matter. But they can move laterally, particularly if heavy rainfall occurs shortly after application. Thus, irrigation will usually improve weed control and will help to prevent lateral movement.

You could use it for either one. If for soil you'd primarily use it as a foliar spray.

You have to keep them refrigerated until ready to apply. Then you mix them with water to wake them up. I used a sprayer attached to the hose to apply and it worked fine. Your lawn needs to be wet before application (run the sprinklers). Sunlight will kill them, so apply right at dusk so they have time to bury into the soil. All the necessary instructions are on the container.

This product deals effectively with weeds and crabgrass without harming your lawn provided you follow dilution instructions. The first application will help ridding good percentage of the weeds, then you should follow with a second application 3-4 weeks away then as needed.

I had landscapers put mine together and fill with topsoil because I have disabilities. They said they didn't recommend it on cement unless you stapled very heavy weight plastic to the inside to prevent soil loss and you'd have to make sure you got plastic that wouldn't have chemicals in it that could leech into your plants. I put mine in the yard, on the grass, and had good luck with them and I have 6 beds. Make sure you get good quality top soil -- I had a yard of it delivered from a local supplier and it was great, black dirt with no stones or stems in it. My landscaper said it was about the best dirt he'd seen and it was under $75 delivered. I hope this helps you decide how you will proceed.

Aerify Plus can be applied anytime during the growing season. However, it is best to water it in throughly (1/2-1 inch of water) soon after applying it. That could be by sprinkler or before/during a rain. This allows the product to penetrate the soil and go to work immediately. But, it will not hurt the lawn if it doesn't get watered in either. I hope that answer your question. Thank You!

it's not so much about how long you wait, it's about making sure that the individual components are fully dissolved ie: add fertilizer first and be sure that it's fully dissolved then you can add cal nitrate and stir until fully dissolved and then Epsom salts and stir until fully dissolved. If this method is not used apparently you have a nutrient lockout situation and the plants as a result will suffer, Hope this helps, Cheers!

it doesn't contaminate the soil, only kills what is sprayed on, (unless you saturated the ground). I would wait at least a month, then a good tilling with some good quality fertilizer you should be ok.

Mix according to the directions on the bottle and put it in your pump sprayer. You must also purchase and use some surfactant, otherwise itvwill bead off the grass. Spray away!

As soon as glyphosate hits soil, it's useless. You can essentially seed the day of using, but I wouldn't do it unless you really needed to. Typically, a day or two after is fine.

I am a long time Lawn Boy customer. I have always used 92 fuel. I usually use Shell or Marathon. My mowers have always started quickly and easily. I do not use old gas that has sat over a season. I always start out with new gas at the beginning of the season. Be sure to have your mower serviced once a year. Always check your oil and never overfill when adding.

Kristen, it's supposed to go on the top and acts like a fertilizer. We didn't use it though. Good Luck!

Can't help you with this one. I sprayed it on when the lawn was dry and then the sprinklers come on the following day and watered it in. That said, the stuff works, it's just a little pricey. I would recommend you strictly follow the directions and not over-dose.

No It's not this is the best time to seed your lawn now. Just water it twice a day for about 3 weeks and you should be ok. I hope this helps you out.

Just to reiterate, this is more to breakup soil rather than fertilize the lawn. Nevertheless, I used it like fertilizer where I spread the Gypsum over my lawn which is very clay heavy. It does not need to be worked into the clay. This product does work, and after your first pass, you will see a difference. However, my lawn requires more than one pass through.

As with all mineral supplements, it is slow acting so now is a great time. Mix it into the soil while you can still work it. Hope next year is better for you. Add you leaf mulch now too. You will be surprised how good things look come May.
