FOR NEW LAWNS (AND LAWN SECTIONS YOU ARE RESTORING BY RESEEDING):
Spring and fall are the best times to seed new lawns. Application of GreenView ® Starter Fertilizer on new lawns is beneficial since you have the opportunity to work it into the soil where roots develop. Apply the contents of this bag at a rate of 3.2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
FOR TREES
GreenView® Starter Fertilizer is formulated to also fertilize trees in late fall, winter or spring. Fall fertilization should be made after trees are dormant (leaves have fallen).
Fertilize trees as follows:
Two cupfuls = approximately one pound.
Newly-planted trees – ½ lb. per inch of trunk diameter
To 6-inch diameter – 2 lbs. per inch of trunk diameter
Over 6-inch diameter – 3 lbs. per inch of trunk diameter
The best method to fertilize trees is to drill holes with a 2-inch soil auger or punch holes with a cylindrical object. Make the holes approximately 18 inches deep and 18 inches apart around the base of the tree, 2 to 3 feet beyond the spread of its branches.
Place an equal amount of GreenView ® Starter Fertilizer in each hole and refill with loose soil. An alternate method is to spread GreenView ® Starter Fertilizer on the soil surface beneath the tree at 2 to 3 times the lawn rate.
FOR SHRUBS AND EVERGREENS
Apply GreenView ® Starter Fertilizer in late fall or winter before the ground freezes. DO NOT FERTILIZE UNTIL PLANTS ARE DORMANT. Feeding prior to dormancy may force growth and cause winter kill. Apply any time in the spring. Use at the rate of 3 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.
