Fertilizer & Amendments

Start by testing your soil to understand its nutrient levels. If your soil lacks a particular nutrient, you can pick a fertilizer that addresses that deficiency. For example, if your soil is low in nitrogen, look for a fertilizer with a higher first number. 

Also, consider the season—lawn fertilizers with higher nitrogen content are great for spring and summer growth, while those with more potassium are helpful in the fall for strengthening roots.

Liquid fertilizers are quickly absorbed by grassroots and blades, making them a great choice if you want to give your lawn an immediate nutrient boost, especially when it's stressed. They also offer even coverage and precise nutrient control, reducing waste and promoting consistent growth.

Additionally, they are easier to apply and work well for specific grass types with frequent, lighter applications.

Yes, there are several eco-friendly lawn fertilizer options available. For instance, Down to Earth Starter Mix 3-3-3 with Myco is an organic choice that supports healthy root growth and overall plant development. Another great option is Happy Frog Jump Start Fertilizer, OMRI Listed and perfect for giving your lawn a strong start without synthetic chemicals. These products are safe for the environment while providing the nutrients your yard needs.

Granular and liquid fertilizers are both effective, but they differ in how they’re applied and how quickly they work. Granular fertilizers come in solid, dry form, like small pellets or granules, which you spread on the soil. They release nutrients slowly over time and provide longer-lasting results.

On the other hand, liquid fertilizers are in liquid form, which you mix with water and either spray on the leaves or pour onto the soil for fast absorption. While liquid fertilizers act quickly, they require more frequent applications. For granular options, Down to Earth Starter Mix 3-3-3 with Myco is a great choice, and for liquid fertilizers, Age Old Fish & Seaweed 3-3-2 offers quick nutrient delivery to your lawn.

Whether you're caring for trees, flowers, or dealing with weed and crabgrass issues in your garden, both types of fertilizers offer benefits for a thriving landscape. Miracle Gro and Scotts are popular brands for both granular and liquid options, providing nutrients that feed and strengthen plants while helping prevent insect and pest problems.

You can use the same fertilizer throughout the year, but it’s important to choose one that matches the changing needs of your lawn across seasons. In the spring and summer, your lawn requires more nitrogen for growth, while in the fall, it benefits from fertilizers with higher potassium to strengthen roots for winter. Some all-purpose fertilizers, like Happy Frog All Purpose Dry Fertilizer, are designed to work year-round, but it’s always a good idea to adjust based on your lawn’s specific needs and the season.
