5-5-20 .38% Barricade

Prevents summer weeds such as crabgrass.

May 15th - May 21st
20-0-25 EXPO 1%Fe
(5# per 1,000 sq. ft.)
All the nitrogen the lawn needs.

July 1st - Aug. 1st
Perk Stress Relief
(4-5# per 1,000 sq. ft.)
Produces green color w/out flushing top growth late in the season.

Oct. 1st - Oct. 21st
