The Andersons - Lawn Fertilizers - The Home Depot

Question 1

What does the nitrogen content in The Andersons lawn fertilizers 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 15 to 24, 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 2

How often should I fertilize my lawn?

Accepted Answer

The right application frequency depends on your type of grass, soil health, and choice of fertilizer. Fertilize cool-season lawns like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass two to four times a year, in early and late spring and fall. Fertilize warm-season grasses like Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine three to five times per year, in late spring, mid and late summer, and early fall. Apply slow-release fertilizers once every eight to ten weeks, and quick-release fertilizers once every four to six weeks.

Question 4

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.
