[QUOTE="tikkalover, post: 293908, member: 600"] The thing to look for on\in a bag of fertilizer is what is called the analysis. N-P-K-S. N = nitrogen, this gives you quick growth and your lawn its color, but basically that's all you get. Does very little for roots or plant health. P= Phosphorus, the presences of phosphorus in soil helps turf grow lush and thick because it promotes strong root growth. More and longer roots = better water up take. An abundance of phosphorus allows plants to grow more efficiently. K = potassium, facilitates the growth and development of the leaves as well as the stem and makes the plant healthier by increasing its immunity. S= sulfur, helps lower the ph in the soil and gives your grass a darker green color and also helps with healthy root growth. Lawns with adequate sulfur amounts have stronger grass shoots with more dense blades and improved overall growth. So something around a 15-30-15-10. Good luck finding that at your local lawn center! ;:;rofl It is better to fertilize a little more often, then to fertilize more once or twice a year. Think spoon feeding.
