DIRECTIONS FOR USE

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING.

Apply this product using the hose-end applicator provided.
It will accurately dilute the concentrated weed control for
convenient spray-on application. Application dates may
vary for both spring and late summer/early fall applications
from year to year, according to weather conditions.

This product is made from a plant-based corn byproduct
through a patented production process. It works by
releasing organic dipeptides into the soil, causing the roots
of weeds to fail to grow properly and die out.

Spray the contents of bottle evenly over 1,000 sq. ft. of
established lawn or garden areas.

SPRING: Apply to established turf or plants in early spring

before weed germination.

FALL: Apply after summer heat stress has passed.
