Instructions for Use

For New Lawns

1. Prepare the Soil
   Rake and loosen the top 2 inches of soil. Remove debris, dead grass, and weeds to improve seed-to-soil contact.

2. Apply the Seed
   Spread evenly using a lawn spreader according to the label settings.

3. Lightly Rake
   Gently rake the seed into the soil so it sits just beneath the surface.

4. Water Thoroughly
   Water daily or as needed to keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall.

For Overseeding Existing Lawns

1. Mow Existing Grass Low
   Bag clippings and remove debris from the lawn.

2. Loosen the Soil Surface
   Rake lightly to improve seed contact with soil.

3. Spread the Seed Evenly
   Apply with a lawn spreader over thin or bare areas.

4. Water Regularly
   Keep the soil moist during germination and early growth stages.

For best results, avoid heavy foot traffic during establishment and mow only after the grass reaches approximately 3 inches tall.
