After spraying the Weed B Gon product, wait four weeks before planting the grass seed in the treated regions. Loosen the soil with a shovel in any bare spots, then apply compost and other nutrients as required. After that, wet the field and disperse the seeds. Through your foot or a lawn roller, press the seeds onto the dirt or manure, then cover with a thin coat of sand, compost, or straw mulch and water one more time.

It seems to work best in hot, dry weather, and certainly shouldn’t be applied when rain is forecast for the same day; the longer the weed killer stays on the weeds, the more effective it will be. If you use a pre-emergent weed killer, grass seeds will not sprout. If you apply a post-emergent weed killer, it will kill any grass seedlings that have already germinated.

Safety and Environmental Impact: It was important to assess the overall environmental impact of each weed killer as well as the risk to the user’s safety. As a result, any product where the nozzle leaked was rated lower, as this risked harm to the gardener using it.

Prioritise weed killers that kill the entire plant, including the roots, to prevent the weed from re-sprouting . Alternatively, residual weed killers will stop all plants from germinating, and non-selective weed killers will kill everything they encounter . Therefore, these are best used on patios or highly weed-ridden areas.
