Benefits:
- Boosted ironcontent promotesdeeper greenand stronger growth. The thicker the lawn, the less chance weeds have of taking hold - they're smothered before they become obvious and need treatment
- Slow-release of nutrients through controlled feeding, eliminates wastethrough run-off and leaching and prevents burning and surge growth

Scotts Lawn Builder™ usespatented time-release technologyto ensure nutrients are released slowly and continuously over a three month period
- Wetting Agent has only0.5% phosphorus, which means it can besafely used anywhere in Australiawithout posing any risk to ground or surface water
- The recommended low application rate is just16 grams per m2, not the kilograms often associated with regular lawn foods!

HOW IT WORKS
Scotts Lawn Builder™ is a slow-release fertiliser that provides continuous nutrition over a three month period
Every granule of Scotts Lawn Builder™ + Wetting Agent contains Scotts patented time-release nitrogen
The included professional grade wetting agent assists moisture to penetrate deep into the root zone and improves the uptake of nutrients
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
This Scotts Lawn Builder™ has a recommended application rate of 16g/m2
To work out how much you will need to fertilise your lawn
Calculate the area of the lawn in square metres (multiply the length by the width)
The area multiplied by the application rate will give the exact amount of Scotts Lawn Builder™ you need
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?
For best results ALWAYS use a Scotts spreader
Check your model and make sure to set it correctly before you start (settings are also on the back label of the product)
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
