Use straight slightly overlapping lines to ensure good coverage.
Application for grass cutting.
Grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction tending to lean towards the direction you mow.
Alternating the pattern causes more upright growth and helps avoid producing ruts in the lawn.
Apply the fertilizer beginning with the perimeter of your lawn then move inward toward the center walking in your typical mowing pattern.
Select a fertilizer that is appropriate for the time you are fertilizing.
You can use a hand held spreader like the scotts whirl hand powered spreader for a small lawn or a broadcast spreader for a larger lawn.
Sprinkle the grass lightly to dampen it then use a spreader to apply the weed and feed evenly over the lawn.
Just follow these guidelines for easy application and even coverage.
Apply grass fertilizer correctly.
Grass clippings release nitrogen into the grass which is one of the three main components of commercial fertilizers.
Feeding the lawn is as simple as mowing it and as easy as walking at your normal steady pace.
Mow moving forward whether you re pushing a walk behind mower or sitting behind the wheel of a lawn tractor.
If the product package does not provide a spreader setting it is not intended for lawn use.
