Q1: What should I do if I accidentally spill a concentrated pile of Sta-Green Performance Max?
A1: Do not wash it into the turf with a hose. Water will dissolve the massive salt concentration instantly, scorching the root layer down to bare dirt. Instead, use a shop vac to suck up all dry granules from the grass canopy immediately. Once all visible material is removed, flush the target spot with deep buckets of water for three days to dilute residual chemical salts.
Q2: Can I use this product immediately after overseeding my lawn?
A2: No. High-analysis nitrogen formulations like Performance Max will burn fragile, newly emerged grass seedlings. Wait until new seedlings have been mowed at least three to four times before applying standard rates. Additionally, if the product contains weed control or crabgrass preventer, the barrier will kill newly germinating grass seed entirely.
Q3: How long does a 40-pound bag typically last for an average suburban yard?
A3: An average residential lawn measures roughly 5,000 square feet. At a target application rate of 3.2 lbs per 1,000 sq ft, each full pass consumes approximately 16 pounds of product. A single 40-pound bag will fully cover that footprint 2.5 times, supplying enough fertilizer for spring and early-fall cycles.
