If you read my latest comment, that sums it up. Since my last application, I have no green striping this time after removing the Edgeguard assembly and walking at a decent rate to get the fertilizer to spread and go over the wheels. The spreader wheel is angled up, so it easily goes over the wheels, but not if you walk too slow. The Edgeguard is in the way of the spread and when the fertilizer hits it, it just drops and creates the green lines because of over fertilization. Other spreaders have a guard that drops down when needed, but out of the way when not. Remove the 4 handle bolts, pull the hopper off the wheel shaft and the Edgeguard assembly will pop off with a little force. Removed the Edgeguard lever assembly and cable and reassemble. I ran a pattern test on my paved driveway and it all looked good. The key is to walk a decent speed, too slow and you won't get the proper spread.

it dies winter then it grows summer

It is an extremely common late winter/early spring annual weed. Get questions about it here all the time when it is in season.
