aerating and fertilizing at the same time??? good or bad

Good morning!

Over the next few days I will be getting down and personal with my spring 2010 lawn cleanup and prep work.

I do a dethatch job every 3-4 years as well as an aerating job.

My question is, is it safe to fertilize after aerating? what with the roots exposed and all? I haven't done this before but because my yard work schedule got delayed this spring I wanted to catch up by dethatching on Wed. aerating and fertilizing on thursday.

I was considering putting my Scotts weed and feed down after the aeration?
thoughts? input welcome.

thanks/Gary
