What Feed + Weed?

 
Can anyone recommend an economical way to feed + weed the lawn at our
new house? It's about 1100 sqm and has quite a lot of clover and dandy
lion in it.

To be honest, the lawn seems pretty healthy really, so it probably needs
more weed than feed!!

Thanks, TT

Is that a US product, or can you get it in the UK? Is spraying better
than spreading a granulated product?

I agree that it is better to spot spray than treat whole lawn and that
spraying is more effective.

UK? who knows.  A trip to a local garden shop should uncover the
available selective herbicides for turf.  Spraying is better for two
reasons:

1 - It puts the chemical precisely on the weeds for maximum effect.

2 - It minimizes the amount that is used.  Instead of broadcast
spreading it everywhere, where some of it makes it very easily
into roadways and then streams, etc, it goes on the actual weed.

Agree with the direct spraying of each weed.  I wait until they have a
flower showing, then use that to direct the wand to the plant.

As to the "weed-b-gon" product, it's just good old 2,4-D with a small amount
of other herbicides (Dicamba and something else).  Mix it with water and wet
the weed.
