How to Use

For most applications you will need to apply 5 pounds of product per 1,000 square feet of turfgrass.
• Step 2: Load your spreader with Solutions Weed & Feed and put the spreader on the correct setting for your specific spreader model (check the spreader manufacturer label for details). If you are unsure which setting to use with your spreader, you can test your spreader settings on 250 sq. ft. of turf. You are aiming to apply at a rate of 1 pound of product per 250 sq. ft., so adjust your settings until this rate is reached. 
• Step 3: Begin broadcasting the product starting at the edge of the lawn and walk all the way around the perimeter of the yard at a steady pace. Then walk back and forth across the yard to cover the space in the middle. Water the lawn 1 to 2 days after applying Solutions 8-12-16 Fall Grow Fertilizer.
