Feeding your lawn a proper diet not only helps it grow green and thick, but provides less room for weeds to grow. However, with many lawn fertilization products available at stores from Berwyn to Wayne, PA and beyond, it can be difficult to know which to choose. But if considering the right product makes all the difference between weak results and a bright, lush lawn, it’s a critical decision. Where do you begin? Here’s what to know.
Everything You Need to Know About Lawn Fertilization
Just like people, your lawn needs to be fed a proper diet of vitamins and minerals. Typically, most grass plants in the Berwyn area can’t produce enough on their own, which is why lawn fertilization is key. There are a wide range of nutrients important for a healthy lawn; however, the three primary ones are:
- Nitrogen (N) to promote green color and increase the rate of growth in your lawn.
- Phosphorous (P) to give the root system a boost and help it develop more efficiently.
- Potassium (K) improves overall lawn health and helps it withstand various stressors, such as drought, heat, cold, and disease.
Together, these numbers, called NPK, are on the labels of all fertilizer products. When searching for the right one for your lawn, consider its needs or weaknesses. If it’s discolored or yellowing, for instance, you’ll need a product with more nitrogen. If it’s weak overall, give the root system a nutrient lift with a product containing more phosphorous. For overall health or an increase in defenses, consider a product with more potassium.
You can also choose from liquid, fast-release products or granular, slow-release ones. If your lawn is struggling, give it a quick boost with a liquid application. However, generally, Spring is a good time for a slow-release application, which delivers nutrients steadily over time.
