Where to Use: This is your secret weapon for starting a new lawn from scratch or thickening up a thin one. It’s perfect for those typical lawns that get a mix of sun and shade throughout the day.

How to Use: Use it to start a brand new lawn or to overseed the lawn you've already got.

When to Use: The sweet spot for planting is spring or fall. Aim for those nice, mild days when the temperature is hovering between 60°F and 80°F.

How Often to Use: For best results, overseed your lawn with this product once a year to keep it thick and healthy.

For a New Lawn:

1. Get the Ground Ready: Grab a rake and loosen up the top couple of inches of soil, clearing out any rocks or dead grass.
2. Spread the Good Stuff: Pour the product into your Scotts spreader, dial in the "New Lawn" setting, and apply it evenly.
3. Gently Tuck it In: Lightly rake the seed and fertilizer mix into the top layer of soil. You just want it barely covered.
4. Give it a Drink: This part is key. Water daily (or as needed) to keep the soil moist until the new grass is at least 2 inches tall.

For Overseeding:

1. Get Your Lawn Ready: Mow your lawn nice and short (about 2 inches). Then, give it a good rake to loosen the soil and clear out any dead stuff.
2. Time to Spread: Fill up your spreader, set it to the "Overseeding" setting, and walk at a steady pace to get even coverage.
3. Just Add Water: Water every day, or as needed, to keep the soil damp until the new seedlings are at least 2 inches tall.

To get that grass to pop up fast, you'll want to water it twice a day for the first three weeks. An automatic timer can be a real lifesaver here. The goal is to keep the soil consistently moist, not to create a swamp.

• Give the Mower a Break: We know you're eager to mow, but let the new grass grow to about 3 inches before its first trim.
• Keep it Fed: To keep that awesome new lawn looking its best, give it a good meal every 8 weeks with a Scotts Lawn Food product.

• Store it Smart: Keep any leftovers in the original bag and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from kids and pets.
• Keep it Tidy: If any product ends up on your driveway or sidewalk, just sweep it back onto the lawn. This helps keep our local waterways clean.
• Hold Off on Weed Control: Give your new grass a chance to get established. Wait until you've mowed it at least four times before you think about applying any weed control
