Apply in Spring, Summer, and Fall at a rate of 10 lbs of fertilizer per 1000 sq. foot with a drop or rotary spreader (bag covers 2,500 sq. ft). Water immediately after application to activate product. Keep lawn moist, but not saturated for the next 3-4 days. For continued maintenance, water once or twice weekly to provide 1" of moisture (including rainfall). A typical sprinkler takes 3-4 hours to provide 1" of moisture.

Lawns with Excess Thatch or Problem Lawns:
Fertilization- a fertilizer that provides slow release nitrogen should be applied 2-4 times per season following recommended application rates.
Watering- Lawns should receive approximately one inch of water a week (including rainfall).
Mowing- Adopt the 1/3 rule, not more then 1/3 of the leaf should be removed in any one mowing. During times of stress (summer), keep grass longer then in spring and fall.
Aerating- Core aerating in Spring or Fall. Core aerating allows air into the soil and breaks apart compacted soil.
New Sod or Seed:
Ringer Lawn Restore is ideal in helping establish new root systems. Unlike some fertilizers, it won't burn tender, developing roots. Simply apply at a rate of 10 lbs of fertilizer per 1000 sq ft. For new sod, work into topsoil before laying sod. For new seed, work into topsoil prior to seeding. Water to keep surface moist, but not saturated, until sod/seedlings are established.
