How to Apply:
- Below are the three most common uses for a starter fertilizer. See back of bag for proper spreader settings
New Lawns from Seed:
- Apply 3.2 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. Work mechanically into the top 6 to 8 inches of topsoil. After the new seedbed is prepared, work another 3.2 pounds into the top 1 to 2 inches (one 32 pound bag covers 10,000 sq. ft.) Apply the seed, rake lightly or roll, and water moderately. Keep the soil moist by watering daily.
New Lawns from Sod:
- Follow the same instructions as with seeding, except the seed now becomes sod and mulching is not necessary.
Overseeding established Lawns:
- Apply 3.2 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. Apply new seed at a half rate and keep moist. This can be done any time of year, but for best results spring and fall are preferred due to cool, moist conditions.
