Fertilizers replace nutrients depleted by grass; without them, weeds and moss invade. Weedkillers kill weeds/moss but may leave patches needing reseeding. Best done early in growing season.
Chemicals have strict rules: keep pets/kids off until watered in (rain or hose). Water within label timeframe. Don't apply to wet/dry/frozen grass or in direct sun. Apply mid-week between mows—several days after cutting, several before next.
Some only fertilize, some only kill weeds/moss, some combine. Seasonal availability varies—buy off-season for discounts. Patch-repair products target worn or weed-choked areas. Shade/sun/wet formulations exist.
Small containers: built-in shaker. Large areas: broadcast spreader (wheeled or tow-behind) for even coverage. Hand-scattering is uneven and messy. Patch kits only on affected spots.
