Question 1

What type of lawn fertilizers are available?

Accepted Answer

There are three main types of fertilizers: granular, liquid, and organic. Each one is designed for different needs and conditions. Slow-release granular fertilizers deliver nutrients to your lawn gradually over time, keeping your grass healthy and vibrant with fewer applications. For fast green-up, select a quick-release blend designed to deliver nutrients immediately, but with more frequent applications. Liquid fertilizers absorb quickly for rapid results, while organic formulas improve soil health and microbial activity. We also carry synthetic fertilizers for fast, predictable results, and specialty formulas for specific lawn conditions, grass types, and seasons.

Question 2

What do the N-P-K numbers on fertilizer bags mean?

Accepted Answer

The N-P-K numbers represent the percentage of the three essential nutrients in the fertilizer: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). The ideal ratio for healthy plant growth depends on your lawn's unique needs and the time of year. Nitrogen promotes leafy green growth and overall plant vigor, phosphorus boosts root development and flower and fruit production, and potassium improves disease resistance and overall plant health. Your local garden and lawn expert is here to help you select the blend with the right ratio for your goals.

Question 3

What's the difference between a "weed and feed" product and a fertilizer designed to strengthen roots?

Accepted Answer

Weed and feed combines fertilizer with herbicides to nourish your lawn while controlling existing weeds, saving you time and effort. A fertilizer designed to strengthen roots features a higher phosphorus and potassium blend, delivering pure nutrition for strong roots and a foundation for healthy growth and resilience without targeting weeds.
