LAWNS: When applying fertilizer, it is important to remember that a uniform distribution is essential. For luxurious lawns that have the rich, green, golf course look, apply Chickity Doo Doo™ every 10-12 weeks of your grass growing season at the rate of 20 lbs. per 1,000 sq. feet for the first seasonal application and 10 lbs. per 1,000 sq. feet for each application thereafter. Set your spreader to 75% open to spread at a rate of 10 lbs. per 1,000 sq. feet of lawn. (Varations in walking speed and spreader brands may require some slight adjustments in your setting.) To apply 20 lbs. per 1,000 sq. feet, we recommend that you set your spreader to 75% open, and make two passes over the area you want to fertilize. For new lawns, apply Chickity Doo Doo™ at a rate of 20 lbs. per 1,000 sq. feet prior to seeding or sodding. Work into the soil to a depth of 1-2 inches. Seed or sod immediately after applying Chickity Doo Doo™. Reapply every 10-12 weeks at a rate of 10 lbs. per 1,000 sq. feet. It is not necessary to water in Chickity Doo Doo™, however, applying water will activate fertilizer and faster results can be achieved.
