Just like people, your lawn needs food to grow and thrive.
But also like people, your lawn needs the right kind of food
in the right proportions. That's why providing your lawn with
the nutrients it needs through proper fertilizing is crucial to
having a healthy, green lawn. But do you know exactly what
product is right for your lawn? Let's start with the basics.
You've probably noticed three numbers on a bag of fertilizer,
like 10-10-10 or 20-5-10. These numbers represent the percentages
of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in that particular mix.
The first number is nitrogen, which makes grass plants grow and
become greener. The second number is phosphorus.
Phosphorus stimulates root and seedling development.
And the third number is potassium, which promotes tolerance
against disease and drought. Weed and feed is a common term
referring to fertilizer containing weed killer for broadleaf
weeds such as dandelions. These are "contact killers," meaning they
only kill weeds that are actively growing, but won't have any effect
on weeds that have yet to germinate. Commonly used to prevent
crabgrass, pre-emergents are weed killers that must be applied
before the weeds germinate often in early spring. If it all seems
just a bit overwhelming, don't worry. There are experts who can help
like the PhD certified specialists at TruGreen. Not only do they have
