WEED-AND-FEED

I don't recommend weed-and-feed fertilizers because of the atrizine found in most.

If misused or over-applied, atrizine is notorious for moving very quickly through soil, eventually contaminating ground water. And even the weed-and-feed bags warn against getting it near the drip line of trees and shrubs. But I realize that many people need to solve a winter weed problem before getting busy with the basic fertilization schedule. So, here is your one and only opportunity. But you have to take this pledge:

I DO SOLEMLY PLEDGE TO USE A WEED-AND-FEED FERTILIZER ONLY ONCE IN A YEAR, AND I FURTHER PLEDGE TO MAKE SURE THAT I FOLLOW APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS EXPLICITALLY, SO AS NOT TO OVER-USE OR OVER-APPLY, BECAUSE SOME WEED-AND-FEEDS THREATEN OUR GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES AND CAN HARM THE TENDER ROOTS OF TREES AND SHRUBS. WITH JUSTICE AND GARDENLINE FOR ALL!!!

Just use an organic fertilizer like Milorganite from Home Depot. I also have a Yorkie.
