aPPlICaTIoN TIPs
1. To avoid misses or striping, overlap the previous wheel
tracks by approximately 3 inches.
2. For easiest application, spread across the shortest
edges of lawn first, making two "header" strips for a
turning area, and then spreading between the header
strips. See figure 1.
3. If lawn is odd shaped, spread a border around the edges
and then spread between the border. See figure 2.
IMPorTaNT: Be careful when using spreader around
ornamental plants because weed controls can damage
these plants.
