    Q
    Can Southern AG Vantage Grass Killer be mixed with Fertilome Weed Free Zone for application purposes?
    I have a centipede lawn and they both work well I'm just curios to know if they can be combined and administered simultaneously. Thanks
    A
    We would not recommend tank mixing Fertilome Weed Free Zone with Southern Ag Vantage Grass Killer. Fertilome Weed Free Zone does not have label instructions for tank mixing combinations and tank mixing Grass Killer with some postemergence broadleaf herbicides has shown some reduction or failure to control some grassy weeds that would otherwise be controlled.

    Q
    Have gilmore 362 hose end sprayer. Fertilome weed free zone sates to use 2 oz per 1000 ft.
    What seting do I use?
    A
    We apologize but we are not familiar with the Gilmore hose end sprayer that you have. That being said normally hose end sprayers are not recommended for use of herbicides as there is no way to accurately know when you have put down the correct amount of product over the correct amount of area with that unit. You can try setting it at 1oz per gallon and use 2 gallons per 1000 sq/ft.

    Q
    When to mow? Before or after application?
    I live in GA and have a centipede lawn. I haven't mowed yet but am wondering if I should apply this before or after I do. What is the time frame for waiting to apply or after applying?
    A
    Normally when applying any type of herbicide you want to delay mowing at least 2-3 days before putting down the product, and then 2-3 days after as well to give the grass full time to absorb the application.

    Q
    What is the setting for the Ortho Dial N Spray?
    I am trying to knock out ground ivy and wild onion in my Kentucky blue grass/fescue lawn in Vermont. After first attempt, the ground ivy rebounded and became worse. I think I used the wrong mix ratio (too weak) and just pissed it off.
    A
    Fertilome Weed Free Zone product label recommends mixing 0.75 - 1.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water. For Ground Ivy we would recommend using the highest rate of 1.5 oz. per gallon of water. If the product instructions say to use 1.5 ounces per gallon of water, then the Ortho Dial N Spray should be set to the 1.5 oz mark if available. Broadcast (entire areas) applications or follow-up applications should be done at a 2-6 week interval which is recommended for more mature Weeds, for dense infestations, and for adverse environmental conditions.
