Feed Regularly - Turf Builder Water Smart provides the nutrients your lawn needs to withstand stress and grow strong
Seed For Success - Turf Builder Grass Seed absorbs and releases water for faster germination and better results under reduced watering conditions
Mow High - Set your mower at 3", or its highest setting, to help grass build deeper roots and use water better
Use Clippings - Leave them on the lawn to recycle nutrients back into the soil
Rely on Rain - Use Mother Nature's sprinkler as much as possible. Your lawn will begin to wilt when water is needed
