How to use
1) Check the Weather: If rain is in the forecast in the next 24 hours, apply another day. Rain can wash the particles off weed leaves before it has a chance to work properly.
2) Fill and Set Spreader: See below
- Scotts® Broadcast Spreader: 4 1/2
- Scotts® Drop Spreader: 7 3/4
- Scotts® Wizz® : 5
3) Apply to Wet Lawn: Make sure that the grass is wet from dew or sprinkling before applying (this helps the particles to adhere to weed leaves to produce best results). After 24 hours , water the lawn to wash the particles onto the soil to prevent the germination of crabgrass.
4) Clean Up: Sweep product from hard surfaces onto the lawn to keep valuable feeding nutrients on the grass and out of storm drains.
