The combined products are generally bad idea. You end up putting one or
the other one at the wrong time.

If your weather is not (and is not going to be) too hot and dry, then
you should be fine using the product now. If you use now remember that it
is going to cause the grass to start growing faster then normal and if it
dries out or gets too hot it will be bad for the grass. Fertilizing is
usually best in the early to mid spring and mid to late fall. More nitrogen
in the spring less in the fall. Weed killer is a little late, but it should
not be too bad right now and should knock down some of the weeds.

Hi,

I purchased a bag of Scott's lawn fertlizer (and weedkill) this
spring. Due to the heavy rains this season in Northern Virginia
combined with my laziness, I never got around to applying it. Is it
too late to use it now?

Scott's recommends a cycle approach where they want you to buy
different fertilizers for different seasons. Wondering if using the
"Spring" version now (early August) will adversely affect the lawn.

There's quite a bit of weed growth and the wife keeps blaming it on my
not applying fertilizer.

Thanks
