How often can you fertilize the lawn?

I have a bought a new house, and the lawn has some weeds and seems very thin. I put some Scotts weed and feed on it last week, it looks greener. How soon can I fertilize the lawn again?

1. You're gonna kill yourself mowing if you fertilize now. You must fertilize in the fall when the lawn goes dormant unless you want to live on the mower all summer.
2. not trying to be a smart a** but read the bag.
3. you should fertilize your lawns at least every six months to get a good green lawn. an cut it reguarly high to make it become thick and soft.
4. Wait at least 2 months and repeat, but you may not need to use the weed and feed , if no weeds just use the regular feed fertilizer, (Scotts)
5. depends on how much you want to cut it 1st time in the spring and 1 s in fall
6. spring and fall only and spot placement,s on weed,s use spreader do not handle bear handed
7. At the end of the summer.
8. Time machine is absolutely correct (read the freakin directions on the freakin bag). Scotts is the best product out there and if you follow their directions you will, eventually, have a marvelous lawn. This, of course, providing that you do other simple proper maintenance: watering, cutting, leaf raking, not having the Hooters Grass Vollyball Championships in your back yard.
9. In the fall and spring are sufficient. It won't hurt to do it 4 times, but don't put down weed and feed in the heat of the summer. Pre-M would be good in the spring, weed and feed in the fall.
10. I think most people fertilize in the spring, summer and fall. Don't overdo it or you could kill your grass.
