The numbers in commercial fertilizers represent the percentages of nitrogen, phosphorous (also called phosphate), and potassium (also called potash) that the fertilizer contains. So 16-4-8 fertilizer has 16% nitrogen, 4% phosphorus, and 8% potassium.

  • Nitrogen (N) in the fertilizer helps nurture the grass. It makes it greener, thicker, and lusher.
  • Phosphorus (P) targets the soil system. It helps enhance it, which results in a more robust root system. Phosphorus is also the nutrient essential for prolific fruit production and flower blooming.
  • Potassium (K), on the other hand, promotes the general wellbeing of your lawn. It also builds up plant cells and boosts healthy development.

Plants use nutrients from the soil to grow stronger and healthier. The key to a flourishing turf is selecting and applying the appropriate fertilizer for each plant type.

  • Generally, early spring is the ideal time to apply.
  • In general, it’s recommended that you use one pound of nitrogen for every 1,000 square feet of lawn to maintain a healthy-looking lawn.  Each bag covers 10,000.00 sq. ft.
  • Even though grass requires this mineral, it’s also known to burn the grass tips if you apply it excessively. It’s always best to read and follow the instructions found on your fertilizer bag, as application rates will vary based on brand.
