  • Extreme Greenhas less than0.5% phosphorus, which means it can be safely used anywhere in Australiawithout posing any risk to ground or surface water
  • The recommended application rate is just a low 16 grams per m2, not the kilograms often associated with regular lawn foods! One bag of Extreme Green is equal to three or more bags of traditional fertiliser
  • When used as directed, this product issafe to use around domestic pets and children. Check paws and feet for granules before allowing pets or children on to paved areasas staining may occur

SUITABLE FOR

  • All lawn grasses including all named varieties of buffalo, traditional couch, Santa Ana couch, kikuyu, bent, fescues and carpet grass
  • All grass substitutes such as dichondra (also known as pennywort or kidney weed), lippia, zoysia

NOT SUITABLE FOR

  • Scotts Lawn Builderâ„¢is not recommended for use on plants other than lawn grasses and lawn substitutes
  • Do not use on lawns less than 8 weeks old - from germination of seed or installation of instant turf (useScotts Lawn Builderâ„¢Seed & Turf Starter)
  • Do not use if the temperature is expected to exceed 30 degrees C - wait for a cool spell

HOW IT WORKS

  • Scotts Lawn Builderâ„¢is a slow-release fertiliser that provides continuous nutrition over a three month period
  • Every granule of Extreme Green contains Scotts patented time-release nitrogen as well as fast-release, readily soluble nitrogen for rapid greening
  • Nutrients are released at about the same rate that grass roots can take up the fertiliser so there is no wastage, run-off to waterways or damaging surge growth

HOW TO USE

How much will I need?

Extreme Green has a recommended application rate of 16g/m2

To work out how much you will need to fertilise your lawn:

  1. Calculate the area of the lawn in square metres (multiply the length by the width)
  2. The area multiplied by the application rate will give the exact amount of Scotts Lawn Builderâ„¢ you need
  3. Use a set of scales to weigh it out and then add it to the spreader ready to apply - do not be tempted to add a 'bit extra for luck' because over-application may result in nitrogen burning

How do I apply it?

  1. For best results ALWAYS use a Scotts spreader
  2. Check your model and make sure to set it correctly before you start (settings are also on the back label of the product)
  3. If you don't have a spreader, make sure you distribute the fertiliser evenly over the lawn - uneven applications may result in 'hot spot' burning where too much has landed in one spot
  4. Moisten the lawn before applying
  5. Using your spreader, apply half the required amount walking in one direction (eg north-south), then apply the remainder at 90 degrees (eg east-west)
  6. Wait for 24 hours, then water in thoroughly - granules start working with moisture

When to Use

  • Extreme Green can be applied atany time of the yearfor rapid greening - it is not season-specific
  • For best results, feed your lawnsthree times a year - in early Spring, early Summer and Autumn
