Fertilizer Application Information

1. Apply fertilizer when temperature if fairly cool and lawn is dry.
2. For best results apply fertilizer with a broadcast type spreader as opposed to a drop spreader.  No matter the type of spreader used, please read your manual carefully so you do not burn your lawn.  Typically the setting should be a 5 or 6.  This is for a medium or average application.  Use a higher setting if needed.  Apply this fertilizer to your lawn 4 to 5 times per year; use holidays as a memory guide.  (i.e. Easter, Memorial Day, 4^th of July, Labor Day, and Halloween for a winterizer.)
3. For new turf, spread the fertilizer on the bare dirt or on top of the grass.  In either case, it is required to water in the fertilizer.  Be careful not to over fertilize a new lawn. 
4. This is a balanced fertilizer that is useful for all times of the year, it contains 1% iron so BE CERTAIN TO SWEEP ALL CONCRETE AND STONE SURFACES PRIOR TO WATERING THE FERTILIZER IN or permanent rust stains will appear.
5. Adequate watering is critical following applications!  Be sure to water the fertilized area immediately following application and resume with normal watering thereafter.
6. The fertilizer is packaged in 50 lb. Bags and will cover 7,000 – 10,000 SF depending on the desired application rate.
