To use The EdgeGuard® Landscape Protection System:

How to Apply:1. Make perimeter pass with EdgeGuard® on to protect non-lawn areas.2. Make parallel internal passes 6 ft. apart to ensure even coverage.3. Release trigger when making turns or when you stop.

Maintenance: • Never leave unused product in the spreader. Pour leftover material back into the package and seal package tightly. • If product lands on any hard surface such as a driveway, sidewalk, or road, sweep the product back onto the lawn to keep it from being washed into the storm sewers and ultimately surface waters. • Wash spreader thoroughly after use, including the underside, and allow to dry before storing.• Periodically spray lubricant on all rotating parts to ensure smooth operation and to extend life. • Do not allow product and/or rinse water to enter storm drains or sewers.

Healthy Lawn, Healthy Environment:Feed your lawn regularly. Fertilizer applied at the right time in the right amount can have a signi�cant impact on the health of your lawn. When combined with proper mowing, thick, healthy lawns crowd out weeds. Healthy lawns are better able to tolerate insects, drought, heat, and other environmental stresses.

Keep the environment healthy by following proper safety procedures. Apply only to the lawn. When fertilizer is left on driveways, sidewalks, or patios, rain or watering can �ush the stray particles into the street, where it eventually makes its way to storm drains and surface waters.

Leave the grass clippings on your lawn. Leaving grass clippings on your lawn recycles plant nutrients back into the soil. Clippings contain the same bene�cial nutrients as fertilizer. Sweep or blow clippings from hard surfaces back onto the lawn where these bene�ts can be realized.
