To determine how much fertilizer you need to apply, multiply the length of your lawn by its

width. This equals your total square footage. Deduct any non-lawn areas (house, garden,

etc.). One bag covers 5,000 sq.ft. Length x Width = Total Sq.Ft. - Non-Lawn Areas = Total

Sq.Ft. Coverage You Need

These granular settings are approximate. Calibrate your spreader on 100 sq.ft. and adjust to

apply at the rate of 1 lb. of product per 500 sq.ft.. This bag covers 5,000 sq.ft. of lawn area.

To avoid gaps and streaks, first spread border of lawn and then fill in center with uniform,

parallel passes. Walk at a steady pace so as to apply evenly throughout the lawn.

TO THE EXTENT CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE LAW, THE MANUFACTURER NEITHER MAKES NOR INTENDS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES,

INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. TO THE

EXTENT CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO CASE SHALL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL

DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR HANDLING OF THIS PRODUCT. If these terms are not acceptable, return this product unopened immediately to the

This product controls a wide range of lawn weeds including dandelion, chickweed, knotweed,

plantain, henbit, spurge and many others commonly found in home lawns. Possible

retreatment may be necessary if (a) lawn is heavily overrun by weeds, or, (b) if adverse low

moisture conditions prevail and weeds are in a state of poor growth. A second application

may be made in 30 days.

For use on established turf of warm season grasses includes bermudagrass, centipedegrass,

and zoysiagrass. Established turf of cool season grasses includes Kentucky bluegrass,

perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, and turf-type tall fescues. Do not apply this product on

carpetgrass, dichondra, St. Augustinegrass, or established turf containing desirable clovers.

The maximum broadcast application rate is 2.0 pounds of product per 1,000 sq.ft. per

application. The maximum number of broadcast applications is limited to 2 per year with a

minimum of 30 days between applications. The maximum seasonal rate is 4.0 pounds of

product per 1,000 sq.ft.

1. Mow lawn to normal height 1 to 2 days before application.
2. Water lawn thoroughly at least 1 day before application to sustain moisture until the next

watering (see step 4).
3. Apply when weeds are young and actively growing, preferably in the morning when dew

is on the grass. If grass is not moist at time of application, sprinkle lightly with water to

allow the granules to adhere and to remain on the leaf surface of the weeds.
4. Do not wash from weed leaves for 1 to 2 days after application. At this time a thorough

watering should be made.
