Using the Westland Safelawn Spreader for Life

• Application Season: Apply from early spring through autumn when the grass is actively growing. Avoid application during frost or drought conditions.
• Preparation: Mow the lawn a few days before application, and ensure the grass is dry before spreading.
• Spreader Settings: Adjust the spreader to the recommended application setting (typically outlined on the packaging).

Tips for Effective Spreading

• Even Distribution: Walk at a steady pace and keep the spreader moving at all times to ensure an even application across the entire area.
• Edge Care: When working around edges, reduce the spreader flow to avoid waste and keep product off paths or driveways.
• Repeat Applications: For optimal results, apply every 6-8 weeks during the growing season, from spring through autumn.

Key Care Instructions

Pre-Application Preparation

• Lawn Preparation: Remove large weeds and mow the grass a few days before application. Grass should be dry to ensure that the granules spread evenly.
• Weather Conditions: Apply when rain is not expected for at least 48 hours, as excess moisture may wash away nutrients before they’re absorbed by the soil.
• Safety Precautions: Though safe for pets and children, it’s best to allow the product to settle into the grass for a day before allowing play or pet activity on the lawn.

Post-Application Care

• Watering: Lightly water the lawn after 48 hours if there has been no rainfall. This helps granules dissolve and absorb into the soil, activating the nutrients.
• Lawn Use: Keep children and pets off the lawn immediately after application and during the first watering. After this, normal use can resume.
• Lawn Mowing: Delay mowing for about a week after application to allow nutrients to penetrate the soil fully and benefit the grass.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Uneven Growth: If certain areas grow faster or look greener, it may indicate uneven spreading. Ensure a consistent walking pace and controlled spread rate during the next application.
• Weed Growth: Westland Safelawn promotes thick, healthy grass that naturally suppresses weeds, but stubborn weeds may require spot treatments with a selective lawn-safe herbicide.
• Patchy Spots: Regular feeding can improve patchiness over time. For severe patches, consider overseeding with a compatible grass seed blend for a more uniform lawn.

Lawn Maintenance Tips with Westland Safelawn Spreader

Seasonal Care

• Spring and Early Summer: This is the ideal time to start feeding the lawn. Apply Westland Safelawn in early spring to jumpstart growth and again in early summer to maintain lush, green grass.
• Late Summer and Early Autumn: An application in late summer helps the lawn recover from heavy foot traffic and summer heat, while an autumn feed prepares grass for winter dormancy.
• Winter Consideration: Avoid using the spreader during winter. Instead, apply a winter-specific lawn treatment for added frost protection and to prevent lawn diseases.

Environmental Benefits

• Soil Enrichment: Westland Safelawn contains beneficial bacteria that break down organic matter, improving soil structure and nutrient availability.
• Sustainable Growth: This product is free of pesticides and harmful chemicals, supporting healthier soil microbes, and promoting a balanced lawn ecosystem.
• Natural Weed Control: A thick, healthy lawn grown with organic nutrients reduces the need for chemical weed control, as it outcompetes most weeds naturally.

Best Practices for Longevity

• Storage: Store the spreader and product in a dry, cool place to maintain product efficacy. Avoid exposure to moisture as it may clump the granules.
• Spreader Maintenance: Clean the spreader after each use to prevent build-up and ensure smooth operation. Check for any blockages or uneven flow issues before storage.
• Application Consistency: Use consistent application rates and patterns to avoid nutrient burn, which can occur from excess fertilizer in certain spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Westland Safelawn Spreader for Life on newly seeded lawns? Yes, it can be used on new lawns, but wait until the grass is at least 3-4 cm tall and established. Applying too soon may disrupt seed germination.

How soon can I see results after applying the Westland Safelawn product? Under normal conditions, you can expect to see greener, healthier grass within 1-2 weeks, depending on weather and watering practices.

What should I do if I accidentally over-apply in certain areas? Lightly water the affected area immediately to dilute the granules and reduce the risk of nutrient burn. Be mindful of even spreading in future applications.
