Maintaining a vibrant, green lawn can be a rewarding endeavor, and the Menards 4-Step Lawn Care Program offers a straightforward approach to achieve just that. Step 2 of this program focuses on tackling weeds while nourishing your grass, effectively simplifying your lawn care routine. This step utilizes a powerful product: Menards® Premium Weed & Feed, a granular formula designed for ease of use and impactful results.
This Weed & Feed solution is expertly formulated to provide dual action benefits. Firstly, it acts as a robust weed killer, targeting over 200 types of broadleaf weeds, including common nuisances like dandelions and clover. It’s engineered to eliminate these weeds right down to the root, preventing them from competing with your grass for vital nutrients and sunlight. Secondly, it delivers a comprehensive fertilizer feeding to your lawn. This fertilizer is not just any standard blend; it features polymer-coated Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer technology. This advanced technology ensures a slow and steady release of nitrogen, feeding your lawn consistently for over two months. This controlled-release mechanism prevents rapid, unsustainable growth spurts and promotes healthy, even development.
The secret weapon in Menards® Premium Weed & Feed is Trimec®, a leading broadleaf herbicide. Included at a specialized rate, Trimec® ensures premium-level weed control, maximizing the effectiveness of each application. Furthermore, the formula is enriched with iron, an essential micronutrient that contributes to a visibly faster and deeper green color in your lawn. This means you’ll not only be rid of unsightly weeds but also enjoy a richer, more appealing lawn.
Timing is crucial for optimal results. Step 2, utilizing Menards® Premium Weed & Feed, is ideally applied in late spring through early summer. This period coincides with the active growth phase of broadleaf weeds, making the Weed & Feed most effective. For application, Menards recommends mowing your lawn a day or two prior to treatment and watering thoroughly beforehand. Apply the product using a spreader, preferably in the morning when dew is present on the grass to help the granules adhere to weed leaves. Avoid watering your lawn for 24 to 48 hours after application to allow the weed control to fully take effect. After this period, a deep watering is recommended.
Menards 4-Step Lawn Care Program, with its Step 2 Weed & Feed, provides a convenient and effective way to manage weeds and fertilize your lawn simultaneously. This approach saves you time and effort, allowing you to achieve a healthy, weed-free, and beautifully green lawn with fewer steps. By following the recommended application guidelines and incorporating this step into your seasonal lawn care, you’re setting the stage for a lush and enviable outdoor space.
