About this product

A lawn product whose 2011 EPA label is a template with several directions-for-use options, so the exact wording depends on the version printed on the bag. All versions agree on 24 hours around rain and watering, and on 30 days between applications.

Using this specific product

Miracle-Gro Miracle-Gro Weed & Feed is listed here as the Lawn weed killer and fertilizer version for lawn weeds, lawn feeding, and broadleaf weeds. For treating a lawn or garden area, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • Confirm the package says Lawn weed killer and fertilizer; related versions can use different timing.
  • For lawn weeds, lawn feeding, and broadleaf weeds, pay particular attention to wind, dry foliage, application rate and forecast.
  • The source gives no conditions for this time.

How to check readiness

Use the rainfast claim only for rain; use the label separately for people and pet re-entry. Use this only as the rainfast milestone. It does not establish general cure or re-entry safety. Test the seam or finish at the least-ventilated spot before normal water exposure.

Avoid this mistake

Rainfast does not mean dry, harmless or ready for people and pets.
