Directions for use

  1. Prepare the soil by digging to a depth of 10-15cm and rake to produce a firm and even surface.
  2. Leave area for approximately 2 weeks or until weeds begin to germinate. Spray the entire area with Yates Zero Glyphosphate Weed spray.
  3. Once the weeds have died off, lightly rake over the area to loosen the soil. First scatter Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Lawn Food, then Yates LawnSmart lawn seed. Scatter half in a North-South direction and the remaining half in an East-West direction and rake into the surface.
