"Ortho Weed B Gone" Liquid Spray vs. Scotts Fertilizer with Plus 2 Weed Control to kill weeds? OKay so i'm going to be trying to kill the weeds in my yard soon. it is a newly planted tall fescue lawn. After i mow it 4 or 5 times i'll probably zap it. I've got what i believe to be mallow weed. so what would you reccommend an Ortho spray or a scotts weed control fertilizer? what are the pros and cons of each, and what'll do the trick the best? YES - i did put down scotts starter fertilizer, so i will make sure to wait at least 7 weeks before hitting it with anything else. the weed is fairly spread out through the whole yard. thick in a few spots and sparce in others, but it would be easier to use a granule probably. it could be harmful to increase the amount you spread right? cause that would be the only thing with scotts is that it probably wouldn't drop enough to come in contact with every single weed. is either one more dangerous to a new yard?

How to kill weeds? I live in an upstairs flat, but downstairs, there's a door. That door leads to a "garden". It's a very small piece of space with concrete floor, and a gate that is the backgate to the bottom flat's garden. (which is 100 times the size) I don't think anyone has even opened the door to the "garden" for the 15 years that I've been in this flat. I found the key, so I went to have a look. It's very, very, very dirty, bottles and other rubbish all over the place, covered in slime, and weeds. It's like a jungle. The weeds are coming through the concrete, and they are green and have purple flowers. How can I get rid of them and stop them from growing back? It doesn't really matter if it's something that will stop anything every growing back - it's only the concrete. Cheers Kieron
