2 PROOF OF PURCHASE 5,000 sq ft GreenTurf Why does your lawn need ACE Green Turf Starter Fertilizer? ACE Green Turf Starter Fertilizer is specially formulated to give new grass plants the nutrients needed to grow thick and sturdy.

How to apply Always apply ACE Green Turf Starter Fertilizer and all other lawn fertilizers with a spreader for even distribution. NEVER APPLY BY HAND. Do not apply to wet grass. Do not apply during periods of drought. Use the formula below to calculate the size of the area you are treating and do not over or under apply. Set the spreader according to the chart. The condition of your spreader, the speed at which you apply fertilizer and the roughness of your lawn may affect the setting. Check your spreader setting before you start, and several times as you are applying, to maintain even coverage of your entire lawn. Remember to close your spreader when filling, turning or stopping. Water your lawn thoroughly after applying. For Established Lawns Follow the application directions above. ACE Green Turf Starter Fertilizer may be safely used on established lawns to enhance root development. When Seeding DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Till soil 3-4 inches deep and allow to settle.
