Buying lawn fertilizer is not as easy as it seems, but it does not have to be all that hard either. The following tips should help you purchase the correct fertilizer for your lawn.
Know The 3 Key Elements
There are 3 major components of fertilizers, and you need to know which ones you need the most of. Nitrogen will keep your grass a lush green and will also go a long way to keeping the soil healthy. Phosphorous works at the lowest level in the soil to strengthen the roots of your lawn. Potassium will help the grass resist drought and disease. When you go to buy your fertilizer you will find numbers like 12-6-8 or 30-10-10 written on the bag. These are the percentages of the 3 key elements in the exact above mentioned order. So if you are looking to fight disease, for example, then you will need to get a higher percentage of potassium.
The Conditions In Which The Fertilizer Will Be Working Under
To pick the right fertilizer you will need to know the current condition of your lawn. Is it totally without nutrients, or is it disease infested? You will have to consider the climate of your location and the type of grass that you intend to grow. What time of year do you want to use them? If you are going to prepare your lawn for the approaching winter, the key element that you will need in your fertilizer is a high percentage of potassium.
Form Of Fertilizer
Fertilizer comes in various forms, each with it’s own advantages and disadvantages. Liquid lawn fertilizers will not last long on your lawn but will give your grass instant nutrition. Granular lawn fertilizers will be very easy to spread over your lawn; they also have great longevity as they are slowly released into the ground over a period of up to six months. Synthetic lawn fertilizers are chemically manufactured, as the name suggests. These may have the exact components that your lawn needs but if not properly used, they can end up totally scorching your lawn.
