Can you recommend a weed killer that is safe to use on your lawn but does not act as a feed for the lawn?

Answer 1

Boiling Water I've never tried boiling water but I suspect that this will only kill the leaves leaving the root intact. If you don't kill the root the weed will re-grow. The solution will depend on whether you are treating broadleaf weeds (Dandelion) or grassy weeds. I would recommend products like Ortho Weed-B-Gone which comes in different types. You can spray directly on the weed without damaging the grass. Or you can use a spreader to evenly spread granular weed killer on your lawn. I think the reason some products are a combination of weed killer and fertilizer is that the fertilizer helps promote a healthier, fuller lawn which in turn chokes out weeds.
