As temperatures continue to rise and the soil warms up, your grass is growing in and hungry for fuel. What should you feed it? There are countless options for lawn fertilization available across Upper Arlington, Columbus, and surrounding areas in OH. It can therefore be difficult to know the right one to choose. At Lawn Doctor of Columbus, we can help. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you’re shopping around, so you make the right move.
Everything You Need to Know About Lawn Fertilization
Spring is an important time of year in the Upper Arlington area for lawn fertilization. Grass has just come out of dormancy after a long, cold Ohio winter. It’s repairing damage from the season and also getting ready for the heat and drought of summer. It therefore needs a healthy blend of essentials. Which are most important?
While there are a range of micro and macronutrients your lawn needs, the three primary ones are:
- Nitrogen (N) to improve color and turf density.
- Phosphorous (P) to enable roots to grow deeper and stronger.
- Potassium (K) to improve health, heat and cold tolerance, and defenses.
When you’re looking for a fertilizer, these are known as NPK and listed on the label as percentages. If a label reads 10-10-10, for example, it contains 10% nitrogen, 10% phosphorous, and 10% potassium. What your particular lawn needs depends on a range of factors, which is why a soil test can be helpful before you choose a product.
In addition, you can also purchase products with weed, moss, fungus, or insect control. These offer multiple benefits by feeding your lawn and also preventing the spread of common issues. In addition, granular, slow-release fertilizers are available for controlled feeding over time, as are liquid, quick-release products.
