Ironite - Lawn Fertilizers - The Home Depot

Question 1

How do I know which fertilizer my lawn needs?

Accepted Answer

Start with a soil test to identify nutrient deficiencies and pH levels. This extra step prevents over-fertilization and ensures you choose the right formula. Then choose a fertilizer that matches your grass type and season. Select a high nitrogen fertilizer for green-up, a starter fertilizer for new lawns, and a winterizing blend for fall protection. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and fescue need more nitrogen in spring and fall, while warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia need nitrogen during summer growth. Consider specialty blends for certain conditions like a weed and feed product, organic blend, or a pet and kid safe formula.

Question 2

What does it mean if a lawn fertilizer is labeled safe for pets and kids?

Accepted Answer

A lawn fertilizer labeled safe for kids and pets is formulated with non-toxic ingredients, often without harsh pesticides or synthetic additives that can cause irritation or poisoning. These safe, organic, and natural formulas minimize chemical exposure without leaving harmful residues on the grass where pets or children play. For safety, follow the manufacturer's instructions and keep pets and children off the lawn during and immediately after application. We carry options that are safe for kids and safe for pets so that you can improve your lawn while protecting your loved ones.

Question 3

What does the nitrogen content in lawn fertilizer do for my grass?

Accepted Answer

Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for your lawn's green color, lush foliage, and vigorous growth. Fertilizers with a higher percentage of nitrogen encourage healthy development and a vibrant color during the active growing season. Our nitrogen options range from 1 to 7, feeding your lawn with the right dose of nutrients every season of the year. Read the fertilizer label, as too much nitrogen applied at the wrong time can cause lawn burn, excessive growth, and weak roots.

Question 4

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.
