Hi-

I have severaly dandelions (Taraxacum G.H. Weber ex Wiggers) 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, but expect a low germination rate.
