FAQs

How do you use IFA fertilizer Step 2? ›

Apply uniformly to slightly damp lawn. Apply fertilizer when weeds are young and growing actively, preferably in the morning when dew is on the grass. If the grass is not moist at the time of application, sprinkle lightly with water to allow the granules to adhere to and remain on the leaf surface of the weeds.

Do not apply more than twice per year. A minimum of 30 days between applications is required. Apply only to grass. Do not allow granules or dust to drift onto flowers, shrubs, fruit or vegetable plants.

Apply Scotts Step® 2 Weed Control in late spring, anytime between April and June, but be sure to wait 4-6 weeks after applying Step® 1. It kills many broadleaf weeds like dandelions while feeding and nourishing the lawn. Step® 2 builds thick, green turf from the roots up.

Pets can safely enjoy lawns treated with Scotts.

Apply early spring lawn fertilizer once between February and April, when your grass is starting to green up and begin to actively grow (around the time your lawn first needs to be mowed).

Can REVIVE burn the lawn if I over-apply? No. If you have some trouble areas, you can safely apply extra without the worry of burning. Just make sure you water after application to get results starting quicker.

The morning and late evening dew help your grass absorb nutrients. Medium temperatures activate optimum fertilizer electrical conductivity(EC), resulting in your plans' maximum growth rate.

Do you put fertilizer down before or after it rains? ›

Ideally, you want to apply fertilizer treatments to your lawn after it rains. However, you'll want to wait for the puddles on your lawn to sink into the soil and the grass blades to dry. It's also a good idea to fertilize your grass if it is sunny for a few days after it rains.

It is common practice to wait at least 24-72 hours before letting your dog go back on the lawn. After this period, the fertilizer is absorbed entirely into the soil. Before letting your dog free again, it is also good to water the lawn.

Like children, dogs and other pets also enjoy playing and running through the grass. But after fertilizing, it's also best practice to limit their use of the lawn for 24-72 hours.

Just compost and grass seed.) Keep the dogs off of it for a solid month to let the roots get established, then follow our best practices plan for dogs and lawns below.
