Why all that weed and feed???

Why not? Some lawns around here look like SOD farms. Using Weed and
Feed once a month is a simple process. Lawns where neighbors don't use
Weed and Feed are lees green and usually have some Dandelions in them.

If you are having that much trouble I
wonder if you may have other problems like cutting too short or watering
practices that are not doing will. Also the usual fast release stuff
using
the most brand name stuff makes for weak grass and extra work and money
on
your part.

My lawn looks great. I have no trouble with it because I keep on top
of it. If you want a premium lawn you can not just fertilize in spring
and fall.

Proper use is better than just large qualities.

I only fertilize twice a year and I have the best looking lawn around.
I have not used any general weed application in the 10 years I have owned my
current home, only spot treatments and you can seldom see even a dandelion.

I suspect you can have a healthier, better looking lawn and do less work
and spend less money if you work smarter, not harder.

I doubt if I am going to change you ways, but most of my neighbors have
changed theirs, at least all of them with good looking lawns have.
