Below, we’ve compiled some important tips for homeowners in Krum to take the guesswork out of lawn fertilization.<\/p>\n
Know Your Lawn’s\u00a0Schedule.<\/strong>\u00a0The right fertilization schedule for your lawn will depend on its species of turf. This will not only dictate when to apply fertilizer, but also the type of fertilizer to use at different times of the year. When you learn the correct fertilization for your lawn’s species of turf, we suggest tracking it in your personal calendar. Alternatively, you can use an app that tells you when to make fertilizer treatments and the correct balance of nutrients for each treatment.<\/p>\n Understand N-P-K Values.<\/strong>\u00a0When you’re choosing a fertilizer, the most important piece of information will be the fertilizer’s N-P-K values. These are three numbers that tell you the percentage of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) in the fertilizer. Each of these nutrients has a different function. Nitrogen improves color and encourages growth. Phosphorous allows turf to develop healthy roots. Potassium, meanwhile, encourages overall health and hardiness, making turf more resilient.<\/p>\n
