HOW TO USE
How much will I need?
Premium has a recommended application rate of16g/m2
To work out how much you will need to fertilise your lawn:
- Calculate the area of the lawn in square metres (multiply the length by the width)
- The area multiplied by the application rate will give the exact amount ofScotts Lawn Builder™you need
- Use a set of scales to weigh it out and then add it to the spreader ready to apply -do not be temptedto add a 'bit extra for luck' because over-application may result in nitrogen burning

How do I apply it?
- For best resultsALWAYSuse aScotts spreader
- Check your model and make sure to set it correctly before you start (settings are also on the back label of the product)
