Is Ring to GREEN safe with children and pets?

How often is Ring to GREEN applied to the lawn?
Ring to GREEN is applied (3) times to the lawn, 30 days in between each application. We also recommend (1) preventative Ring to GREEN application in the spring of each future year to help prevent any additional lawn fungus from appearing.
Do I apply Ring to GREEN to my entire lawn, or just the areas with the lawn fungus?
Ring to GREEN applications may be applied on the entire lawn as a PREVENTATIVE APPLICATION, or in the lawn fungus areas only as a SPOT APPLICATION. Spot applications may result in increased turf green-up in the applied area only. Applying Ring to GREEN on the entire lawn is recommended to maintain uniform greening of the turf.
Do I also apply fertilizer to my lawn during Ring to GREEN applications?
Yes! Lawn fertilizers may be applied 2 weeks in between Ring to GREEN applications, especially in the Spring with Step 1 (preemergent) and Step 2 (weed and feed). For more information, go to “Resources” on this website, and look for the “Fertilizing with Ring to GREEN” How do I know if my lawn has grubs, or if it is lawn fungus, or another lawn health problem?
If you have grubs, which are a white worm or small black bug that eat the roots of your lawn, your dead lawn will turn a light gray color, like cement, and you will need to apply a grub pesticide to resolve this insect problem. But if you have a lawn fungus problem, or any other lawn health problem, the dead area of your lawn will turn a straw color, and can be successfully resolved with Ring to GREEN!
Application and Watering FAQ's
I have questions about applying and/or watering the Ring to GREEN product. Where can I find more information to help me?
Almost all of the information you need to apply and water the Ring to GREEN product is found on the Ring to GREEN bag, with very easy-to-follow instructions. Please read all of the instructions carefully. If you have any other questions, please call us at 801-918-2541.
If I don’t have a Scott’s Classic Drop Spreader #76565, can I use my own drop or broadcast spreader to apply Ring to GREEN?
Yes! Most granular fertilizers are applied at a rate of 5 lbs. per 1000 square feet. Ring to GREEN is applied at 10 lbs. per 1000 square feet. So simply keep your drop or broadcast spreader at the same setting as your fertilizer application, and just apply the Ring to GREEN to your lawn twice at 5 lbs. per 1000 square feet, to equal the needed 10 lbs. per 1000 square feet.
Since Ring to GREEN is supposed to be watered every day per instructions on the bag, what do I do if the city I live in requires watering every other day?
Go to the “Resources" tab on the Ring to GREEN website, and you will find watering instructions for drought, including "Monday-Wednesday-Friday" and "Every-Other-Day" watering instructions.
If the outside temperature is over 95 degrees Fahrenheit after 5:00 PM, but at 6:30 PM, the temperature is under 95 degrees, can I still apply the Ring to GREEN after the temperature is under 95 degrees?
Yes! You can apply the Ring to GREEN product any time after 5:00 PM, as long as the outside temperature does not exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can the Ring to GREEN product be applied to my lawn before I turn on my sprinklers in the spring, or after my sprinklers have been turned off in the fall?

How soon can I reseed or sod damaged fungal areas in the lawn, once I have applied Ring to GREEN?

Can I delay my sprinklers from watering at 6:00 PM if I need to use my yard in the evening?
Yes! If you have guests over, or need to use your yard in the evening, it is OK to delay your sprinklers once or twice per week, and turn them on later that evening. But be sure to not skip a day watering.
