Tools Needed
To apply Solutions 8-12-16 Fall Grow Fertilizer, you must broadcast the product with a push or hand spreader.
How to Use
- Step 1: Cut the grass 1 to 2 days before applying Solutions 8-12-16 Fall Grow Fertilizer, and then calculate the square footage of your lawn to determine how much to use. To find the square footage, measure the treatment areas' length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). 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 the product and set it to 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 1 pound of product per 250 sq. ft., so adjust your settings until this rate is reached.
- Step 3: Start broadcasting the product at the edge of the lawn and walk steadily around the yard's perimeter. Then, walk back and forth across the yard to cover the space in the middle. Water the lawn after applying Solutions 8-12-16 Fall Grow Fertilizer.
Where to Use
Solutions 8-12-16 Fall Grow Fertilizer can be used on residential lawns of various grass types. However, avoid spreading this product on concrete walks or drives, stucco, or asbestos siding, as the fertilizer elements are known to cause permanent stains.
When to Use
For the best results, apply Solutions 8-12-16 Fall Grow Fertilizer during Fall two or three weeks before the first frost date in your area.
Early to mid-October would be a good time, either in the morning or early evening.
