What do you use to spray this stuff on your lawn? Not using the Miracle- Gro Garden feeder...

I use the Miracle Grow Garden Feeder I purchased at Home Depot years ago. Paint store might have something inexpensive that could be used, but might be less expensive to purchase the Miracle Grow Kit so you'll have the "feeder" going forward.

We use the feeder container. We love this product. My garden is beautiful. We have three lung dogs and it has really helped nourish the new grass seed.

I wouldn't recommend this to you. I have terrible results. Try ammonium nitrate on your lawn. It works wonder for me.

Well, if you don't want to use the Miracle-Gro garden feeder then use another feeder. The Miracle-Gro feeder mixes the appropriate amount lawn food granules with water. You can always mix the lawn food in a a bucket of water with appropriate amount and dispense it however you want. I have manually sprinkled Miracle-Gro plant food on to the plant, then added water.

I use a two gallon plastic watering can (It also says you can use that on the box). For every gallon, I use two tablespoon of the Miracle-Gro. I hope that helps.

You put this in a hose sprayer and set the dial and then it mixes with water and sprays at the right mix.

If you don't want to use the Garden Feeder, you can use a tank sprayer, mixing the product at 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.

You have to dig for the answer on that! I am on my second bottle (of powder) and this stuff DOES work! I have found that two scoops/ gallon works best. Put the granules in a used water bottle, add a little water, and shake it up to really dissolve it. Put in sprayer, then add the water. Top off with dish washing liquid to help it stick to weeds (a couple squirts) Apply when grass is dry, and preferably sunny. Takes about two weeks to really work, and then I usually spot check and hit the tough areas again. This stuff saved my lawn more than once!!

I had the same problem. A burst of blue came out, then clear, then more blue. I used it all up but I think I REALLY fertilized parts of my garden while some plants didn't even get a taste of it. Love Miracle Gro fertilizer, but the sprayer needs some help.

Ace Hardware has a nice ½ gallon sprayer. Do a little algebra, & you're good to go. If you have some left over, spry the sedge again. If you don't have enough, mix another small batch. Use it all.

It's my understanding that Miracle-Gro no longer produces this product. I also received the foam which I don't care for. Miracle-Gro does produce a liquid concentrate All Purpose Plant Food. It's in a yellow 32 fl oz container and you mix it with water. It can be used in the Garden or for house plants. I'm just about out of the discontinued item but I do have the one I just described and can only hope it will replace the one everyone seemed to like. Good Luck! Betty A

WOW sound like my problem, if I am in my own yard, I use a small garden shovel to get under it and lift it off the grass, it works. (I know, what to do with the shovel...lol) But if I am out walking, I just use a paper towel (uugg). I am going to try the newspaper like the other reviewer suggested.

Lurking is going to buy gnats a death sentence. I donated my Bonide bottle so I don't have the instructions readily available. If gnats aren't included in the list of insects Bonide controls then you might try a misquitoe repellent. Be patient as Bonide absorbs into the soil and the plant that the insect feeds from. It takes several days to see the effect.

Spreader mix ...i guess...the same thing??? It is the stuff!!! I only did 1 application...& it worked!!! And it didn't kill my wonderful earthworms! It has been about 5m. and still no grubs. If I see any evidence I will use this product(though expensive) again! I do need to reseed my lawn in those areas :(

After you watered your lawn. It seemed like you needed to reapply. For Rabbit, Rabbit pellet is better, last for a few week with or without water

It didn't work!! I even tried spraying it on the ground, which worked a little bit better then spraying it on the trees themselves. I suspect that what's needed is the 'professional' sprays which aren't available for home use.

I spot sprayed the weeds in my lawn and did not make a general application. The label says that you can do this and it is effective where you have widely spaced weeds. In areas where I had crab grass I used a more general application. The product works very well with holistic weeds and does not seem to harm the desired turfgrasses.

I use a pump up sprayer and my lawn is Centipede. I was overrun with nut sedge after a hurricane and it took 4 applications to destroy the weed. That was over a year and a half time frame. Just now we are using it once again for a wild violet that blew in during wind gusts. So far one application has withered the outer leaves only I see fresh shoots starting. Unfortunately the day I spayed this area had a cloud burst, where else but over my lawn. I hope someone who has St Augustine will share their findings with you. As far as the Image goes in controlling weeds, I don't use anything else. This product works if directions are followed as stated on label. Scots001.

Melissa, Yes you can! Depending on your yard size, spreading it can be tedious!! Check for rain in the forecast. Make sure that you have at least 3-5 days with no rain for the full effect of using this in your yard. If it does rain, you will need to reapply it because it is water soluble. I have a fairly large yard, I recommend starting at your exit door(s) and sprinkle the grass/mulch areas using a fairly large salt/pepper shaker that flows freely!! Sprinkle it 4-5 inches from the top of the grass. Then go through the middle of your yard. This chases all of the insects including fleas to the edges of your yard. Then just pick a side and sprinkle it. You do not need to "cover" it entirely. Then move on to the other side of your yard. You do not have to rake the yard after application, but I recommend it because it gets the diatomaceous earth to the dirt level where most bugs hide under the grass!! Also, you can mix it with Yarrow Powder too! This helps stop the life cycle of those pesky little critters!! It is more expensive, so I use it sparingly in the areas of the yard, like bushes and doorways, where my dog and cats like to hang out. Hope this helps!!

Mr. Harry:I had to do some math to figure out that also. I see I wrote down 1/3 oz. for my 2 gal tank sprayer. Six teaspoons make an ounce, so I use 2 teaspoons for my 2 gallons. Therefore you only need 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon. So far I only used the product for one application because fall came and grass was going dormant. I did after several weeks start to get that frost look, but what I read is that it really needs 2-3 applications. Another trick I use is to add some Bonide Spreader Sticker to the mix. It provides adhesion of the tenacity so it sticks better to the vegetation and lets it perform better. I bought that on Amazon also.

My husband used it and this is his response. "One bottle goes a long way since it is diluted directly 1:8 in a pump sprayer. It took 2 sprays to kill unwanted growth from a Live Oak, probably due to the amount of rain we get almost everyday. You could probably use a garden hose with a sprayer attachment but I don't feel you have as much control. We were able to direct the spray on the unwanted growth and save my other plants nearby."

I mix 4 Oz of this in a Gilmour hose end sprinkler and add water to top and spray twice a year. It does not plug my sprayer and does a good job I also, in addition broadcast the granular Bifenthrin. I was having trouble with Springtails. Don't get discouraged as it takes awhile. Hope this helps good luck.

Use a regular garden hose. Whatever garden hose that is lying around your yard or is available at your local store or on Amazon. If I recall correctly I needed to buy some little devices to make my own short garden hose to go from the bottom of the 5 gallon tub to the feeder. Look up "garden hose repair" on Amazon and you'll see what I mean. The little chicks had no problem learning to drink from this.
