Read the label for exact coverage, safety directions, and timing to get the best seasonal results.

How does this product manage weeds and feed my lawn?

ferti-lome St. Augustine Weed & Feed combines pre-emergent chemistry that inhibits new weed seedlings with post-emergent active ingredients to target existing broadleaf weeds and grassy invaders. The fertilizer portion supplies a 15-0-4 nutrient ratio—primarily nitrogen with a small amount of potassium—for green-up and stress tolerance during the season.

• Dual action: prevents new weeds and treats established weeds.
• 15-0-4 delivers quick-acting nitrogen and supporting potassium.
• Granular form is easy to apply using a broadcast spreader.
• Label lists specific weed species controlled and timing guidance.

When should I apply it for best results on St. Augustine lawns?

Apply in early spring when soil temperatures and turf growth begin, before most summer weeds germinate for pre-emergent protection. A follow-up application or spot treatments may be needed later for emerged weeds, but always follow label intervals and maximum seasonal rates.

• Timing: early spring for pre-emergent benefit; treat active weeds as needed.
• Avoid applications during turf dormancy or drought stress.
• Observe label instructions for reapplication windows and limits.

Can I use this on any grass type and what should I avoid?

This formulation is labeled for Centipede, Zoysia and St. Augustine lawns and is not safe for use on Bermuda grass or many northern cool-season grasses. Using it on non-listed turf can cause injury; always verify your grass type before applying.

• Suitable: St. Augustine, Zoysia, Centipede.
• Do not use: Bermuda grasses and most northern cool-season lawns.
• Check label for complete turf list and crop-specific precautions.

How do I apply and how much area does a 12.8 lb bag cover?

Application rate depends on the target weeds and desired coverage; use a calibrated broadcast spreader for even distribution. The bag's coverage varies with the rate chosen—consult the product label for square-foot coverage per pound and follow safety instructions for mixing, spreading, and irrigation after application.

• Use a spreader for uniform application and adjust settings per label rates.
• Irrigate if label recommends to activate pre-emergent ingredients.
• Wear protective gear and avoid applying before heavy rainfall to reduce runoff.

Who is this for: Homeowners and landscapers with warm-season lawns who want a single granular product that combines seasonal weed defense and nitrogen-rich feeding for St. Augustine, Zoysia or Centipede turf. It is not appropriate for Bermuda or most northern grasses; choose products matched to your turf type and follow all label directions to protect desirable grass and the environment.
