## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the amounts of nitrogen, phosphours and potassium?**
A: It's 35-0-10 and in response to someone else; it's not gonna kill bermuda lawns using it over time :-/ .  Been using this stuff since the 90's no issues.  What kills lawns using fertilizer is when you keep using and using and using.  Use it right the first time no issues will come.

**Q: May I apply it now (today is June 1, 2015)?**
A: If you apply this fertilizer that contain 34-0-10 then the nitrogen will stimulate top growth which is not what you want in the winter time due to freezing weather. It's better to apply like 10-2-7 in winter. That way the roots are stimulated and not top growth.

**Q: Is it safe to apply this fall lawn food to newly sprouted grass seed?  The grass is about 2 weeks old.**
A: Avoid fertilizing any newly seeded lawn until after the 4th mowing.  Scotts offers a fertilizer for newly seeded lawns that is safe to apply and recommended.

**Q: Will this work well in September in zone 9b, lower foothills of California central valley?**
A: Daniel, thank you for your interest in Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Lawn Food. This product may be applied at any time during the growing season, although it is especially beneficial in the fall as a "last feeding" because of the high potassium content. This will work well in September in the lower foothills of California central valley as you described. Feel free to call us at 877-465-5160 and we're happy to send you a sample lawn care schedule for your region and grass type.
