Getting the most from your lawn takes more than sunlight, rainfall, and mowing. It requires proper lawn fertilization, too. However, with so many options available on store shelves in New Brunswick, Hamilton Township, and surrounding areas in NJ, it can be difficult to know which to choose.
Let Lawn Doctor of SE Mercer & Middlesex County help. We’ve got tips and advice on selecting the right product, so you feed your lawn properly and precisely. It will have what it needs for improved color, health, and defenses.
Everything You Need to Know About Lawn Fertilization
With spring here in the New Brunswick area and your grass growing, it’s time to think about lawn fertilization. After a long, cold New Jersey winter, it’s hungry and needs fuel to prepare for the hot, dry summer ahead. What should you give it? While there are a range of vitamins and minerals grass plants require, there are three primary ones that are especially important:
- Nitrogen (N), which promotes bright color and thicker growth.
- Phosphorous (P), which feeds the root system, so it develops healthier and stronger.
- Potassium (K) for overall health and increased resistance to diseases and insects.
Together, these nutrients are listed as NPK on a label, which tells you the percentages of each within. For instance, a label with 10-10-10 has 10% nitrogen, 10% phosphorous, and 10% potassium within it. If you’re not sure which nutrients are most important for your particular lawn, perform a soil test to tell.
Beyond choosing the product with the right NPK for your lawn, you can also opt for fast-release or slow-release formulas. Fast-release are typically liquid and feed your lawn immediately. This is important if you’re noticing yellow, patchy areas or overall weakness. Slow-release fertilizers are generally granular and will deliver a more controlled and steady supply of nutrients over many weeks.
