Mowing Tips
Mow high and leave grass clippings on your lawn. Mowing high allows the grass to develop a deep root system & helps your lawn use water more effectively. Grass clippings recycle the plant nutrients back into the soil.

Shelf Life
Using with Other Products
Feed every 6-8 weeks for your best lawn with this or other Scotts lawn foods designed for your lawn.

Watering Tips
For faster results, lightly water in (product does not require watering in).
Well-fed lawns are more efficient at using available water. Feeding with Scotts products helps grow a thick lawn with more roots to better absorb water and nutrients than an unfed lawn. This protects your lawn against heat, drought and other stresses. Remember, your lawn will begin to wilt when water is needed. As much as possible take advantage of nature's sprinkler and rely on the rain to water your lawn.
