How to Use

1. PREP
Bare Soil: Loosen top layer of soil.
Dead Grass/Thin Area: Rake area and remove dead grass.
For best results, add a thin layer of Scotts® Turf Builder® Lawn Soil™ before applying seed.

2. APPLY
Small Area: Spread by hand or with a Scotts® handheld spreader.
Large Area: Apply using a specially designed Scotts® spreader.
After seeding, apply Scotts® Turf Builder® Starter Food for New Grass to boost your seed's performance for a thicker lawn that comes in quicker. Lightly rake to move the seed and fertilizer into the soil.

3. WATER
Keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach 2 inches tall.

When to Apply

Fall and spring are the best times to plant grass seed, because seed germinates best when temperatures are between 61°F and 70°F.
