    Great Product!!

    By Tony on 04/28/2011

    Weed Free Zone is the best weed killer I have ever used. Not only does it work flawlessly, but the weeds are brown and shriveled in as little as two days. Sure it's pricey, but it WORKS. So many times I have tried other weed killers from companies such as Ortho, like you get at a home center, and it takes forever to kill the weeds. WFZ is the champion of weed killers in my book. Not the most environmentally friendly product out there, but when you need weeds killed and killed fast, you can't beat WFZ.

    The Eradication of Creeping Charlie (ground Ivy) by FWFZ

    By Robert on 10/06/2011

    Verified Purchase

    I was pointed toward Fertilome Weed Free Zone by my next door neighbor. I have applied one spraying with hand pump sprayer and noticed instant results and had to respray very little on second application. It is remarkable how fast it acts and kills the creeping charlie which is the hardest most evasive weed on my property. I highly recommend this product and will be buying more from DoMyOwnPestControl.com. Thanks, R.Y.

    Weed Free Zone

    By Larry on 08/15/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Weed Free Zone is the only product that I have found that will control wild violets in my grass. But, it does take more than one application especially on older, more mature plants. Of course it works great on the regular broad leaf weeds too. Don't forget to use a surfactant so that the product will wet the leaves.

    Ferilome

    By John on 06/02/2012

    This is the only thing we have found that controls creeping charlie. It is expensive but better than killing all the grass and starting over like our neighbor did.

    Weed Free Zone for Dandelions

    By Daryl on 05/08/2011

    I have been using this Fertilome Weed Free Zone on Dandelions for three years. I have been individually hand spraying them because they said not to use a broadcast sprayer. Applying it is in the spring and twice in September as instructed. I have more than when I started. I think it actually multiplies them. It does not appear to have any killing affect on dandelions at all. Very high cost for very poor performance. Recommend not wasting your money.

    bingo!..................

    By Randy on 05/29/2012

    took me a while, but, finally found out what the weed was that WAS taking over my backyard. it WAS creeping campanula---and it was getting bad! i had been using a well known broadleaf killer, but, to no avail. it would curl up (and burn) the weed---only later to return. i had been battling this for 3 yrs. i finally found out that cc is resistant to many broadleaf weedkillers---till i used Fertilome Weed Free Zone. the fairly large patches have disappeared now, only to leave some spots for "clean-up". i am sure they are just some i missed here and there. Fertilome WFZ is a bit more expensive, but, well worth it for me!!! i should mention it has done a terrific job on some of the other weeds around the yard, too!

    By Dave on 04/10/2012

    Best I've used

    By Alan on 05/01/2012

    I have used many products in attempts to control weeds in my fescue lawn. Weed Free Zone works better than anything that I have used. It may cost more for the container but it works and that is my main concern.

    Betterthan expected

    By Bill on 05/27/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I bought this product to control/kill wild violets in my common bermuda grass lawn. It knocked them out with one application. Expect some light yellowing of grass but it didn't do any serious damage and turf came back in one or two mowings.

    Good weed killer

    By Jim on 04/23/2013

    Verified Purchase

    So far so good. I'm trying to eradicate Creeping Charlie from our back yard. I followed the instructions and three days later the ivy started to turn a darker brown and shrivel up on the leaves ends. It is a hard ivy to get rid of. I've tried many of the "brand name" killers and have had minimal success. I will update in a week or so.

    Fertilome Weed Free Vs. Wild Violets

    By Robert on 06/12/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I've been battling Wild Violets for years with no success. I purchased this product because of it's different chemical makeup as compared to off the shelf products like Ortho which have no effect at all on violets. After one application the violets looked sick and showed some browning after a week, while other colonies showed no damage. I upped the dose by 1/2 once per gallon and hit them again, this time with better results but some yellowing of surrounding grass. I am encouraged so far and time will tell.

    Broad leaf weeds had no chance with this stuff. Even better, the lawn was completely undamaged. I am very pleased with Fertilome Weed Free Zone and highly recommend it. Absolutely accurate when used as directed.

    Creeping Charlie

    By Josh on 06/10/2016

    This stuff really works great. Kills all the weeds and not the grass. Spray and two day later it turns brown. I even mixed it a little hotter then recommended and left the grass alone. Fertilome is the weed killer I have been looking for.

    weed free zone

    By John on 06/26/2017

    if you have Dollar weed in your lawn this is the answer. I have played around with different types of broadleaf herbicides all slow Dollar weed down but does not kill it. This will kill it in under 2 weeks. Does not hurt centipede or St. Augustine. This product is expensive BUT it works, I love it

    Fertilome works on St Augustine and centipede!

    By Tony on 07/09/2016

    sceptical at first but after a couple of weeks the weeds began to die and yes the St. Augustine did yellow but is now beginning to recover. Be careful to not exceed the amount of product recommended.

    Very good product for killing clover in the PNW.

    By C. on 07/03/2012

    Basically a homeowner formulation of PBI Gordon's "Speed Zone" herbicide, WFZ is a popular product with our customer's wanting to kill clover's in lawn areas. Also works great as a tank mix with Roun-up type herbicides in non-crop areas.

    Great product

    By Dave on 04/02/2012

    Saw an article about this in my Handyman magazine, the cool weather application really appealed to me and I thought I would give it a try. It is a fantastic product so happy with the results, would recommend to anyone. Only drawback was finding it, only available by internet, no stores in my area carried or even heard of it.

    it works!

    By William on 05/26/2013

    Put it on about 2 weeks ago and the weeds are gone. I have a 1 acre lot and 2 bottles were not enough--will order 3 next time. Fetilome Weed Free Zone is the best weed killer I have ever applied--will use it exclusively from now on. That said, it does not kill bermuda grass (a grass I think of as a weed) nor will it kill new weeds that are now sprouting from the ground--now I need a good pre-emergent for this fall

    Didn't Kill One Weed

    By C. on 03/01/2017

    I followed the instructions exactly and even added spreader sticker but product failed to kill even one weed in my yard. Followed up two weeks later with a second application with the same results. Very disappointed given the money spent for this product and the spreader sticker, complete waste of money. I have St. Augustine grass, live in south Florida and applied product in Feb.

    Virginia Buttonweed gone - weed free zone works!

    By Mike on 06/12/2015

    I have tried everything including other products that claim to get rid of virginia buttonweed. All work initially but the weed eventually takes over and grows uncontrollably. Thos product really works! I got it early as it started to grow and within days the weed was dying and after 1 week there was hardly a sign of it. I treated a second time to get what remained and so far after weeks there is still sign of it! Thanks!

    I aerated & over-seeded last fall and had a lot of weeds this spring. This stuff works not cheap but it gets results. Use a surfactant with this herbicide for better results! I will be buying more!

    By Lee on 03/16/2013

    3 days into it the weeds showed signs of a violent death. I spot sprayed trouble areas used it conservatively. I have failed at only a few things in my life and the weeds in my new lawn were on that list. I also bought the tenacity but haven't used it yet.
