Frequently Asked Questions

Is Single App Weed & Feed just a weed killer? Will I need to buy another fertilizer?

No! Single App Weed & Feed promotes thick, green lawns by fertilizing and controlling broadleaf weeds in one easy step. In fact, the fertilizer lasts for the entire season--up to six months!

How do I apply Single App Weed & Feed to my lawn?

Lawns should be mowed to normal height and watered one to two days before application. Single App Weed & Feed is best applied when weeds are young and actively growing, and lawns should be moist at the time of application. One to two days after application, lawns should be watered thoroughly. Recommended spreader settings can be found on the Single App bag.

Can I apply Single App Weed & Feed to newly seeded lawns?

Single App is not recommended for newly seeded lawns until the grass plants are fully established, or after four mowings.

When should Single App Weed & Feed be applied?

Single App Weed & Feed should be applied when weeds are young and actively growing; this typically is when you see the first dandelions in April or May. The best time to apply is in the morning when grass is dewy. Moisture on the weed leaves makes the Single App stick to them and kills the weeds faster.

How long does it take to see results?

Depending on weather conditions, Single App Weed & Feed will likely take five days to show visual effects (curling of the leaves) on broadleaf weeds.

What weeds does Single App Weed & Feed control?

Single App Weed & Feed will control dandelion, plantain, clover, ground ivy, chickweed, poison ivy, poison oak, ragweed, and over 150 other weeds.

Does Single App Weed & Feed control weeds all season long?

No, Single App Weed & Feed only controls the labeled broadleaf weeds that are established on the day of the application. If broadleaf weeds germinate later in the season, they will not be controlled by this product.

How do I control weeds that appear later in the season?

To control weeds that germinate after applying Single App Weed & Feed, a liquid herbicide is recommended. Typical application methods for these products include hose-end and pump-style sprayers.

When should I reapply Single App Weed & Feed?

Single App Weed & Feed releases nutrients for up to six months. Further applications of Single App Weed & Feed may be made after six months of time have passed.

When should Single App be applied?

If you are in the state of Florida and subject to fertilizer blackout periods, you should apply Single App in May to feed the lawn and keep it green during the blackout period. Check your local ordinance for current rules, but most allow you to apply before June 1 and after September 31. In North Florida, do not apply fertilizer during winter months when grasses are dormant.

How does the Controlled-Release Fertilizer Technology work?

Single App granules are coated with a special, decomposable polymer. Exposure to soil moisture breaks down nutrients within the coating, which then release through diffusion for up to six months in response to conditions like soil temperature and coating thickness. This gradual release results in a consistent, controlled lawn growth.

What’s the advantage of Single App Southern Fertilizer over traditional fertilizer products?

Single App Southern Fertilizer not only saves time and money, but also ensures a healthy, green lawn throughout blackout periods. With one application of Single App, you are done fertilizing for the entire season, up to six months. By reducing the number of applications per year, homeowners save on time spent fertilizing and trips to the garden center. The controlled growth cuts down on time spent mowing. Single App also ensures that lawns remain lush and healthy through blackout periods.

Does Single App really reduce clippings?

YES! When you apply a normal four-application fertilizer program, you get a huge amount of surge growth within a few days of each application. The lawn grows like crazy and you sometimes have to cut it twice per week just to keep up.

Single App, with 80% of its nitrogen being controlled-release, does not cause surge growth. It releases just enough fertilizer to keep the grass green, but not enough to encourage fast growth, so you have less clippings each time you mow and you may be able to mow less frequently.

What is a “blackout” period?

Some locations in Florida enforce fertilizer blackout periods during the summer months, when homeowners are not allowed to apply normal, fast-release, nitrogen-based fertilizers. Single App has 80% controlled-release nitrogen and so is allowed to be applied in May to keep lawns healthy and green during the blackout period. Single App ensures that lawns remain fed and healthy throughout this period.

How much Single App Southern Fertilizer should I buy?

We recommend six pounds of product per 1,000 square feet. The 30-pound bag of Southern Fertilizer covers up to 5,000 square feet.

How do I apply Single App Southern Fertilizer to my lawn?
