The Scotts Company has developed an easy-to-follow Annual Lawn Care Program™ to help homeowners develop a thick, green lawn that is free of weed and insect problems. By simply entering personalized lawn-related information along with a zip code in the program builder database found on www.scotts.com, Scotts can instantly create a custom program to keep lawns healthy and in top physical condition year round—and ensure that seasonal lawn problems will not sneak up on you. And, best of all, there is no need to worry about remembering the program steps, since Scotts will also send personalized e-mail reminders.

Consumer questions and more specific problems can be answered by calling the Scotts Consumer Helpline at 1-800-543-TURF (8873) or logging onto www.scotts.com or www.askashton.com
