A:  Thank you for your interest in our products. Potassium benefits your lawn by supporting root development; this will help strengthen your lawn by firmly rooting grass into the soil to create a route of nutrient uptake to ensure overall health. This aids in winter survival, as well as helping your lawn look great in spring. Nitrogen stimulates shoot growth, which in turn stimulates root growth. Phosphorus is most important to grass when it is initially germinating for root development; once the grass is established the need for phosphorus greatly declines. There has been a growing concern regarding phosphorus pollution in lakes and streams which has led some communities to enact regulations on the use of phosphorus in lawn fertilizers. For this reason, we have removed phosphorus from all of our lawn fertilizers except our Starter Food products and Step 1 for Seeding.
