16 A safe natural way to help your lawn clippings compost & return to the soil valuable nutrients found in grass clippings & thatch. Promotes the chelating* of available nutrients, assists in nutrient uptake and improves the growth of beneficial micro-organisms. Contains Humates* & 17 other Trace Elements. Use as part of a multi-step fertilizer program. Apply in spring and fall for best results. *Most nutrients are much more available and therefore more effective when provided to the plant in a Chelated form. **Each use of Natural Guard Soil Activator will progressively build up humus content in soil. A higher lever of humus content will make fertilizers more efficient, producing greener, healthier lawns. Lime is usually added to acid soils to increase soil ph. The effect of soil ph is great on the solubility of minerals or nutrients. Fourteen of the seventeen essential plant nutrients are obtained from the soil. The addition of lime not only replaces hydrogen ions & raises soil ph, thereby eliminating most major problems associated with acid soils but it also provides two nutrients, calcium and magnesium to the soil. Lime also makes Phosphorus that is added to the soil more available for plant growth and increases the availability of Nitrogen by hastening the decomposition of organic matter. Lime is generally available in either a powder or granular form. Testing is recommended at least every two years. Usually the local County Extension Office provides a Soil Test Kit and will test your soil for a nominal fee. Recommended ph levels for most common grasses are; Bermuda Grass ; Centipede Grass ; St. Augustine ; Zoysia Grass ; Fescue Grass Always read & follow label directions.

17 Compressed Air Sprayers...Work great with smaller areas where the spray needs to be controlled (i.e. with most non-selective weed killers). Always fill with water first, then mix-in pesticide. For best results, add Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker to your tank to help whatever you are applying stick to the leaves of the plant better & to hold up through varying weather conditions. Always clean sprayer thoroughly after use. We recommend using three different sprayers, one for weed killers & another for outdoor bug killers & fungicides and a third for spraying indoors. Hose-End Sprayers...Work great for large areas to apply lawn weed & bug killers, along with most liquid fungicides. Our best sprayer is the ferti-lome Air-O-Matic Sprayer. It requires no mixing, simply pour in the product to be sprayed and set the dial on top to the number of tablespoons (per gallon) called for in the label directions & start spraying. (Should the label directions call for teaspoons, simply remove the teaspoon converter & insert in the plastic tube that draws the liquid through the sprayer). Any left-over product can be returned to its original container. The sprayer itself will fit most pint bottles. Always walk slowly & backward away from sprayed areas (to avoid walking in freshly sprayed areas). «3 teaspoons=1 tablespoon=½ ounce» «6 teaspoons=2 tablespoons =1 ounce» Broadcast Spreaders Are a simple, quick way to apply most granular products (fertilizers, bug killers, fungicides). Be sure your spreader is calibrated properly (according to manufacturer s instructions). For the best coverage & to avoid any streaking in your lawn, we suggest setting the spreader to one-half the recommended amount & apply product first in one direction then apply the second half in the other direction. This criss-cross pattern will ensure thorough coverage & avoid those pesky streaks caused by improper fertilizer application. Drop Spreaders...Are generally more time consuming, so are mainly used to apply powdered lime & for applying post-emergent weed control products (with or without fertilizer) in order to avoid broadcasting the product into flower beds & under the drip-line of smaller trees. Again, to avoid streaking, we recommend apply half the required amount first in one direction then the other half in the other direction.

18 Fungi are live pathogens that attack the living tissues of a plant. Diseases can be spread by carryover contact, wind, or water. Latent fungi spores can remain inactive for up to five years before reproducing. Weather conditions can have a great effect on the spread of diseases in your landscape. A warm, moist environment is considered to be favorable to fungus development. A sound maintenance program can help to prevent many diseases before they become a problem. Good cultural practices can aid in helping to prevent diseases (i.e.. not watering your lawn at night, proper handling of diseased plants, correct pruning practices, etc). Brown Patch & Take-All Patch constitute the vast majority of fungus problems in southern lawns. We recommend a two-step approach when treating these diseases. First, apply ferti-lome F-Stop For Picture Perfect Disease Free Turfgrass, followed by an application of ferti-lome Liquid Systemic Fungicide. In severe cases, repeated applications may be necessary. It is advisable to apply a preventive application of ferti-lome F-Stop For Picture Perfect Disease Free Turfgrass in the spring & fall. Any disease control program should be part of a sound lawn care program. Reference to our specific made easy program specifically designed for your typed grass. ferti-lome Triple-Action Plus II Insecticide Fungicide Miticide should generally be used as a first line of defense against disease. However, certain diseases require more target specific fungicides. We recommend ferti-lome Liquid Systemic Fungicide for both soil & airborne fungi. To prevent local disease resistance we recommend alternating between ferti-lome Liquid Systemic Fungicide Containing Banner & Hi-Yield Vegetable, Flower, Fruit and Ornamental Fungicide. Refer to the made easy programs for Roses, Azaleas & other blooming shrubs or bedding plants for more information. ferti-lome Triple-Action Plus II Insecticide Fungicide Miticide should generally be used as a first line of defense against disease. However, certain diseases require more target specific fungicides. We recommend Hi-Yield Vegetable, Flower, Fruit and Ornamental Fungicide. Be careful to follow label instructions. Refer to Vegetable Gardening Made Easy for more information.

19 A weed is generally defined as a plant out of place. So while Bermuda grass in your lawn is ok, it is not in a flower bed. WEEDS (FOR PURPOSES OF WEED CONTROL) CAN GENERALLY BE BROKEN INTO THREE CATEGORIES. Grassy-Type Weeds. These weeds are basically identified by their resemblance to a grass. Examples of these types of weeds are Crabgrass, Goose Grass and Barnyard Grass. Broadleaf Weeds. Identify a broadleaf weed simply by eliminating it from being a grassy-type weed. Examples of broadleaf weeds are clovers, Dandelions & Dollar Weed. Nutsedge. Both yellow and purple Nutsedge (Nut grass) are common nuisance weeds that require a specific herbicide for effective control. For basic weed control, one must identify what type of weed they have (simply by determining if it is a grassy or broadleaf weed or sedge) then selecting the appropriate weed control product. WEED CONTROL PRODUCTS ARE GENERALLY BROKEN INTO TWO CATEGORIES. Post-Emergent Weed Control (To kill weeds after they are up and actively growing) Selective Weed Control Products. These products are designed to kill certain weeds while not harming desirable plants. Selective weed control products can be used in lawns and flower beds. There are different weed control products for both grassy and broadleaf weeds. Non-Selective Weed Control Products. These products will kill all types of plants. The herbicide will kill any plant or vegetation it contacts (i.e. Hi-Yield Super Concentrate KILL-ZALL Weed and Grass Killer.) Pre-Emergent Weed Control (To control weeds before they germinate) By far the most effective and economical way of controlling weeds. Apply pre-emergent weed control products before weed seeds germinate. There are numerous Pre-Emergent products designed specifically for certain types of grasses and for use in beds and vegetable gardens. There are different pre-emergent weed control products for both grassy and broadleaf weeds. PRE-EMERGENT WEED CONTROL. Following the steps in our Lawn Care made easy programs will prevent most weeds in your lawn. There is a Lawn Care made easy program for each type of lawn, incorporating the best pre-emergent weed control product. It will also give the appropriate time to apply the product. In general they will control both broadleaf and grassy type weeds (depending on the type of lawn). POST-EMERGENT WEED CONTROL. Kill broadleaf weeds in all types of grasses by applying ferti-lome Weed Free Zone (works anytime the ground temperature is above 45 to 90 ) or Weed Free Zone Plus Lawn Fertilizer. Kill grassy type weeds in selected types of lawns by applying Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer or ferti-lome Weed-Out w/q. Be sure to identify your type of lawn before selecting one of these products. Kill grassy-type weeds in other lawns by spot spraying with Hi-Yield Super Concentrate KILL-ZALL Weed and Grass Killer. Kill Nutsedge with Hi-Yield Nutsedge Control PRE-EMERGENT WEED CONTROL. When preparing a new or existing flower bed utilize Hi-Yield Turf & Ornamental Weed & Grass Stopper Containing Dimension to prevent listed weeds and grasses for up to three months ferti-lome Double Play will kill existing weeds while also preventing weeds for up to 4 months. POST-EMERGENT WEED CONTROL. Kill many listed grassy-type weeds (such as Bermuda grass) with ferti-lome Over-the-Top II Grass Killer. For all other weeds selectively apply Hi-Yield Super Concentrate KILL-ZALL Weed and Grass Killer as needed. ferti-lome Double Play will kill existing weeds (like Hi-Yield Super Concentrate KILL-ZALL Weed and Grass Killer) while also preventing weeds for up to 4 months. PRE-EMERGENT WEED CONTROL. Prevent many weeds around listed vegetables by applying Hi-Yield Herbicide Granules Containing Treflan before planting or seeding. POST-EMERGENT WEED CONTROL. Kill listed grassy-type growing weeds around selected vegetables with Hi-Yield Grass Killer Postemergence Grass Herbicide. For all other weeds selectively apply Hi-Yield Super Concentrate KILL-ZALL Weed and Grass Killer as needed. Hi-Yield Grass Killer Postemergence Grass Herbicide will kill Bermuda grass and other grassy weeds in gardens around labeled vegetables. Fence Lines, Parking Lots, Driveways, Sidewalks, etc. Apply Hi-Yield Super Concentrate KILL-ZALL Weed and Grass Killer to kill the complete top growth and root system of the desired plant or use ferti-lome Double Play to both kill and prevent weeds. To Prevent re-growth from stumps or to control heavy brush use ferti-lome Brush Killer Stump Killer. Apply only to the targeted weeds.
