 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: For best results, apply this product in the spring or fall. Apply 3.4 pounds of product per 1000 sq. ft. with a broadcast (rotary) or drop spreader.  Work the fertilizer into the top 1 to 2 inches of soil.  Smooth the surface, apply seed (according to label instructions), rake lightly or roll, and water moderately.  Keep the treated area soil moist with frequent and light watering until the lawn is well established.  Do not overwater or allow seedbed to dry out.
• Overseeding established lawns: Apply 3.4 pounds of product per 1000 sq. ft. with a broadcast or drop spreader.  Apply seed according to label instructions. Water frequently.
• New lawns from sod: Apply 3.4 pounds of product per 1000 sq. ft. with a broadcast or drop spreader.  Water frequently.

After your lawn has been mowed 2 to 3 times (or 4 to 6 weeks after seeding or sodding) apply Menards Premium Lawn Food 30-0-3 for sustained health and color.

People and pets can return to the treated area after it is dry and the dust has settled. Always refer to the product label for complete Directions for Use.
