Watering your lawn after applying Scotts Weed and Feed is crucial for achieving a lush, green lawn. This multi-action lawn care product can make your turf greener and healthier while tackling weeds. Apply Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed and Feed when weeds are actively growing and daytime temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 90°F. Make sure your grass is wet from dew or watering, as this helps.
Check the weather forecast before applying the Scotts product, as rain should not be forecasted for at least 24 hours after applying the fertilizer. After applying Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed, wait 48 hours before watering. 2,4-D and Mecoprop are two post-emergent herbicides found in this popular product, which the weeds’ leaves must absorb. Watering your grass too soon or too late can result in ineffective weed control and keep the fertilizer from creating a healthy lawn full of green grass.
When using Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed and Feed 3, ensure the grass is wet from dew or water before application. The manufacturer recommends putting this out when soil is moist and rain is forecasted within 2 days of treatment. It is more convenient and effective to use a pump sprayer and liquid concentrate to spray the weeds directly.
The product should be left undisturbed and not watered for 24 hours after application. When temperatures are over 90°+, weeds slow their growth down and cannot fully absorb the weed control particles off of the leaves. According to the product label, you do not want to water the lawn within 24 hours after application of Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3.
Leave the grass 12 to 24 hours after application, with the best results waiting at least 24 hours before watering.
