A:  I used this Vigoro crabgrass preventer and lawn fertilized for many years until my local Home Depot store stopped carrying the large bag that would cover 15,000 sq. ft. This larger bag continued to be offered by Home Depot stores in nearby cities, but I just did not want to make the drive. This product worked very well and was the only treatment I applied to my lawn all year long. I would occasionally have to spot spray weed killer on the occasional dandelion/weed throughout the summer season. I would apply the product in late March to early April after the ground temperature rose above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a pre-emergent so you must apply it before crabgrass and weeds sprout. Once sprouted, this product will not kill them. The back of the bag use to have recommended application instructions. However, I always put it down once the ground warmed up, weeks before the first grass cutting, and regardless of whether rain was predicted in the near future or not. My results were always fantastic. The grass was so thick and long I could barely push the lawn mower through it. The grass remained like this for the next eight to twelve weeks if weekly rains were received. The grass growth would eventually slow down as the air temperature became hotter and rain more scarce. With regards to your question regarding a Vigoro website, I also have never found one. After I did more research it appears to be just a product brand name owned by Home Depot. I assume they contract out to manufactures to produce the various products they sell under this name.

A:  I found on another website that says to water it in. I also had the same problem finding out

A:  I am not familiar with the two brands you mention in your question. However, I have used Vigoro for years and it has done a superb job of preventing crabgrass in my lawn all season.
