I HAVECOUNTRY ESTATE LAWN FOOD (22-0-8). BAG SHOWS SPREADER SETTINGS BUT NOT FOR THE SPREADER I HAVE, “SCOTT’S TURF BUILDER EDGEGUARD BROADCAST SPREADER MINI”, A ROTARY SPREADER. WHAT SETTING DO I USE FOR THAT?
BAG SAYS NOTHING ABOUT IRRIGATION AFTER APPLICATION. IS IRRIGATION NECESSARY AND IF SO, HOW MUCH?
THANK YOU
You’ll need to locate your spreader’s owners manual to find the setting that applies 4 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. No watering is necessary. That said, I’d not feed the lawn during this period of high heat. Water only until temps. drop back into the 70°s. Feeding during the heat of summer doesn’t help a lawn that is already under stress. Water heavily applying an inch of water all at one time once a week for deep watering…a light spray just evaporates before reaching the roots.
