Granular weed and feed covers more area, often 5,000 square feet or more, and are available in 18-lb bags and larger. Spray or liquid weed and feed are designed for small yards. Although the liquid forms are easier to apply and provide faster results, it’s more economical to use the granular form. Weed and feed comes in two forms: liquid and granular. In situations like these, fertilizing your soil is essential. A lawn, as with any type of plant, only needs fertilizing if the soil lacks the vital nutrients to help it grow. Over-fertilizing your lawn will make the grass grow more vigorously, causing you to have to mow more frequently or lead to run-off which ends up in your local watershed.Įxcessive fertilizing can result in lawn burn, which is when the nitrogen and salt levels in the soil are too high and cause yellow to brown strips or patches of dead grass.

However, fertilizing isn’t always necessary. Maintaining a healthy lawn includes mowing, weeding, watering, and fertilizing.
