STEPS TO FERTILISE A LAWN BY HAND

For best results, apply fertiliser to dry grass. 

1. Apply 15g per square metre of lawn by hand, distributing evenly.
2. To obtain even coverage, spread half the required amount in a north-south direction, then half in an east-west direction. Follow application rate. Over application can burn your lawn. Avoid contact of fertiliser with paths, driveways and other porous or hard surfaces as the iron content may stain. 
3. Water in well after application.
