Default weedkiller and lawn (maybe a silly question...)

Hi quick question,

my new lawn (1year old) is full of weeds and following the advice
from the local nursery I am going to use some weedkiller. Now the
silly question is: Should I spray the weedkiller before or after
cutting the lawn?


Weedkiller works on the leaves, so do it AFTER mowing otherwise (a) you are
wasting weedkiller (b)some weedkiller will end up in your compost bin where
you don't want it.
(You DO have a compost bin don't you?)
