                Q:Does this needs to be watered immediately after turf starter application?
                by|Apr 15, 2023
                2 Answers
                Answer This Question

                A:  Yes, its used for seeding and you'll have to keep the seed moist to help with germination. Plus fertilizer sitting on soil not watered in does nothing for the grass. Has to be watered in to be absorbed by the roots.

                by|Apr 19, 2023

                  A:  For best results we suggest that you water Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food after application.
