Tools Needed
It may be applied with a push spreader, broadcast spreader, or a drop spreader.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Bonide Weed Beater Complete to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For creeping bentgrass, fine fescue, and perennial ryegrass apply 1.91 to 2.87 lbs. of Bonide Weed Beater Complete per 1,000 sq. ft. All other cool-seasoned turf types and warm-seasoned turf you will need to use 4.36 to 5.74 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. For bermudagrass, use 5.74 to 8.60 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Step 2: Adjust the spreader to the proper calibration, then load the proper amount of granules into the spreader.
- Step 3: Evenly spread the granules across the soil surface of the area you wish to protect. For best results apply to a damp lawn and after 48 hours water it in. You may reapply this product twice per year as long as the total amount applied does not exceed the maximum single application rate per turf type. Wait at least 60-90 days after application before reapplying the product.
