To understand how much of any given weed and feed product you need to apply it is always best to follow the label rate provided on the products bag. It is important to have a good idea of how big your lawn is in square feet.  You can measure or pace off the length and width of your lawn and multiply those numbers together to give you an estimate of the total square feet.
