Mark also endorses the CIL Golf Green™ line of fertilizers to keep your lawn healthy and green. These products are organic-based with no filler formula and contain double-coated nitrogen for slow-release feeding. CIL recommends applying Golf Green Fertilizers as follows:
  • Start by reading the complete label before using.

  • Remove debris, toys, etc from the lawn.

  • Measure the lawn and calculate how much fertilizer is required. (Use the product calculator to help)

  • It is easier to apply lawn fertilizer to each section of the lawn separately (i.e. front, back, side)

  • Use a good broadcast spreader with an accurate flow setting.

  • Find the spreader settings on the fertilizer package, or calibrate your spreader

  • Fill the spreader on the drive or walk and not on the lawn.

  • Only add enough fertilizer to feed the first section of lawn.

  • Sweep up spilt fertilizer.

  • Shut off the spreader when stopping or turning.

    1. Apply a single path of fertilizer all the way around the lawn area, take care not to spread fertilizer on gardens, driveways, paths, etc.

    2. Apply half of the required fertilizer in one direction on the lawn (i.e. north/south). Apply the remaining fertilizer across the lawn (i.e. east/west). This will help to provide even coverage and prevent streaking from missed spots and overlap.

    3. Repeat for the other sections of the lawn

  • Store any remaining fertilizer in a cool dry place.

  • Wash after using fertilizer.

  • Wash and lubricate spreader after use.
