Old bags of weed and feed
 
Hi-

I have severaly dandelions in my yard and wanted to know if using weed
and feed would
kill them. The bag has been in my garage for a couple years...so is
it ok to use an old
bag.

Also, is it ok to use old grass seed?

Thanks

Depends on the herbicide in the bag. If it contains the chemical
2,4,D, it's supposed kill broadleaf weeds that are several inched
high. If it contains the chemical Atrazine, it's supposed to prevent
weed seed from sprouting. So if your weed & feed has 2,4,D, it should
kill the dandelions.

Yes

Yes, but expect a low germination rate.
