When to weed and feed for Tall Fescue #780623
Asked January 22, 2022, 12:27 PM EST
We live in Milwaukie, OR. We have a new lawn of tall fescue sod that was laid last October. The lawn has received a ton of rain since it was laid. It is beginning to look thin and some weeds are already beginning to grow. Is it too early to start a weed and feed regimen on the lawn, and what type of fertilizer/weed killer mix do you recommend? How often should I apply the mix?
