Default Can You Apply Lawn Fertilizer and Grub Control At Same Time??

Yes, we can!

We can also pour gasoline on the car, and light it on fire.
We can also pour bags of rock salt onto the garden, and wet
it down with a hose. We can also break all the windows on
the house, and stick a potato in the exhaust pipe of the
furnace.

So, tell us. What are you trying to accomplish? I presume
you live at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, and Grandpa wants to kill
off the lawn?

Don't know about your lawn, but I've never had fleas or tick problems in
mine. Ticks are found in high grass, brush, bushes, wooded areas. Those
are the areas to treat if you choose to do so, but it's usually not
practical.
Any ants I've had have been limited to a couple small areas and can just be
treated with a spot treatment of one of the granular insect problems instead
of spreading pesticide over an entire lawn.

As for applying more fertilizer, it depends on what we don't know, ie type
of grass, climate, watering. Those fertilizers, particularly the 30% N
one, are slow release. So in general applying the second one now or in a
week or two would not be a problem. However, applying nitrogen, particulary
high amount, is never a good idea in periods of hot weather. Many diseases
and fungus thrive
on high temps, water and nitrogen.

Not sure if this question has been asked here already, but
just
wondering if you can apply lawn fertilizer and a separate
grub control
product at the same time. A few days ago, we just applied
the "Scotts
Super Turf Builder Summerguard - With Bug Control To Kill
Ants, Fleas,
and Ticks" which is a 30-0-4 formula. We also have a bag of
the "Bayer
Advanced Season Long Grub Control Plus Turf Revitalizer"
which is a
6-0-1 formula.



The "Scotts Summerguard" doesn't kill grubs, and so we have
to use the
separate grub control. to try to kill the grubs, because
last September
we had a pesky skunk that ripped up and mutilated our yard
every night
last September, October, and November.



On the back of the "Bayer Advanced Grub Control" bag, it
states that the
product has to be applied before August 15th. So my question
is, should
we wait another week or so before applying the grub control,
or can it
be applied now? The "Scotts Summerguard" has 30% percent
nitrogen, and
the "Bayer Grub Control" had 6% percent nitrogen. If we
apply the "Bayer
Grub Control" right now, won't that be too much nitrogen (
36% percent
nitrogen in one weeks time ), for the lawn to handle??



Any advice would greatly be appreciated.



Thanks!
