Spreading Tips: Spread border of lawn. Then apply product in uniform, parallel passes. Slight overlap may be needed. Shut off spreader anytime you stop or turn spreader around. Always apply with a properly calibrated rotary or drop type fertilizer spreader to distribute the granules evenly. Never apply by hand.

Spreaders not listed above, please contact the spreader manufacturer directly.
