Standard consumer fertilizer granules are 60% bigger than the size of GreenShocker granules. The pros prefer formulas with smaller particles because it provides more complete and uniform coverage, which boosts the product’s effectiveness.
Spoon Feeding
GreenShocker can be used as a supplement to your current fertilizer program. Golf courses have used supplemental fertilizers for decades in a method called spoon feeding. This is especially helpful when fast results are needed, such as during the spring and summer months.
How to Apply GreenShocker
GreenShocker 7-1-2 is safe for all turf types. It should be applied when turf is actively growing. Do not apply during periods of extended drought unless irrigation is available and used.
Important – Due to the iron content in this formula, particles left on driveways and sidewalks may leave stains. Be sure to sweep stray particles back onto your lawn.
Immediately water in with a minimum of 0.2 inches. For best results, water the lawn every 12 hours for the next 48 hours. Skip watering if rain occurs.

Pro Tips for Best Results
Check The Forecast
Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.
Mow First
Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.
Clean Up
Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.
Water Deep
Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.
Don't Bag It
Leave lawn clippings for at least one mowing to avoid particle pick-up.
Spreader Settings
We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.
