## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it assist new grass seed growth if i mix this turf builder lawn food in with the seed, then spread mixture?**
A: Till the ground. Spread fertilizer. Rake dirt. Spread seed. Rake dirt again. Water every day until the grass is established.
If spreading dirt: put down fertilizer, spread dirt, spread seed. Rake dirt. Water every day until grass is established.

**Q: can i fertilize new sod in hot weather with this?**
A: Yes, but I water it down good immediately after putting down the fertilizer.  It will burn the grass if you don't water it good and immediately.  I put mine down about 7:00 p.m. so the water doesn't evaporate so fast.

**Q: My husband did not prepare soil correctly when he was patching 2 holes so the grass seed we planted is not doing well. Will this help?**
A: I recommend getting a husband that knows what the heck he is doing...that will help!

**Q: Will this tend to stimulate weed growth initially too? Our weeds seem worse. No rototilling was done before seeding with our grass seed.**
A: No, Scotts Turf Builder won't cause weeds.  If you didn't do any rototilling first, that is your problem.  I don't have weeds in mine because of rototilling first, and then putting down sod.  The grass is really coming on now.
