Directions for Use:
Apply Earl May New Lawn Starter any time you are seeding or sodding. Application can be made just before or after seeding or sodding; however, this product should not be mixed with seed in the same applicator. This product is high in phosphate, which is the major element required for sturdy root development. It is also high in potash, which helps increase the grass plant's ability to resist disease, cold and other adverse conditions. Iron has been added to prevent chlorosis (yellowing) of the turf.
When Not to Apply:
Do not apply this product when temperature is consistently over 90 degrees or if drought conditions exist, otherwise burning of your lawn could occur.
How Much to Apply:
Apply 5.40 pounds per 1,000 square feed on areas to be seeded or sodded. Work into the top two inches of soil before spreading seed or laying sod. This puts phosphate and potash deep into the soil for immediate usage. Keep soil moist until seeds germinate. Do not allow sod to dry out. Apply Earl May Lawn Food after grass has been mowed two or three times.
How to Apply:
See the suggested spreader applications on the back of the bag for your specific spreading equipment.
Do not apply near water, storm drains or drainage ditches. Do not apply if heavy rain is expected. Apply this product only to your lawn and sweep any product that lands on the driveway, sidewalk or street back onto your lawn.
Suggested Spreader Application:
To determine how much product you need for your lawn, multiply your lawn's length by its width to get total square feet - then subtract non-lawn areas.
It's important to follow the directions as indicated as over-application may cause injury to the lawn. Measure the size of the area to be treated and do not over or under apply.
Spreader settings are approximate. Differences may occur due to condition of spreader, speed at which applied, and roughness of area treated. Calibrate spreader prior to use according to the manufacturer's directions. Check frequently to be sure equipment is working properly and distributing uniformly. Close spreader when filling, stopping or turning. Do not hand spread. Fill spreader on driveway or sidewalk to eliminate the chance of spillage on the lawn.
Note: Iron may stain concrete surfaces and should not be applied on water dampened concrete and should be removed from these areas promptly after application by sweeping or blowing. Do not wash this product from concrete surfaces with water.
