Fertilization

Evans, GA

This lawn was fertilized with a broadcast granular spreader every month with a slow-release N-P-K fertilizer with iron in Evans, GA.

A 4-1-2 ratio of NPK (16-4-8), which is recommended by most research and plant tissue testing.

Monthly applications of a slow-release fertilizer are recommended for even predictable growth, no surge growth.

Also, in addition to a 4-1-2 fertilizer, micronutrients that support turf quality is highly suggested.

This gives the turf a beautiful blue green color.

The other reason for monthly applications is it allows the slow-release fertilizer to be broken down by the soil microbes to be plant available. Here at Clydesdale Lawn Consulting LLC, we don't fertilize the grass, we fertilize the grass and the soil to be more conducive for high quality turf. This lawn was fertilized with 4 different types of Nitrogen to feed the grass uniformly and even.

Granular applications are best suited because the size of the prills get into the root zone effectively.

Another subject is prill size "SGN" size of fertilizers.

To be more effective and greening is to have a smaller prill for more even distribution of plant food other than big rock fertilizers.
