Apply with a fertilizer spreader, the rotary type is recommanded. Do not apply by spreading the fertilizer by hand. We recommand that you repeat the application process twice, but only apply half of the recommended quantity each time. First walk up and down the lawn, then back and forth across the lawn. This application technique allows an even coverage and avoid misses and overlaps. Close the sprayer when filling and before turning corners or stopping to prevent burning due to excessive application. Hose out the spreader after use and sweep up any spills. Irrigate with 2 cm (1 in.) of water immediately following the application.
