Soil Saver is safe for use on all soil and grass types and can be applied as frequently as needed without the risk of burning or damaging your lawn. Apply Soil Saver on its own or at the same time as any other product.
Soil Saver has a cumulative effect in the soil. Multiple applications are required for best results. How often to apply depends on your desired results. Soil Saver can be applied as often as monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. Poor soils will require more frequent applications.

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.
