Question 1

What are some of the top-rated lawn fertilizers?

Accepted Answer

One of our top-rated lawn fertilizers is the 8 lbs. 2,500 sq. ft. Spring or Fall Lawn Starter Fertilizer 10-18-10.

Question 2

When should I fertilize my lawn?

Accepted Answer

Fertilizing your lawn depends on your grass type and your climate. We carry fertilizers for use in late spring, winter, and fall.

Question 3

Which type of fertilizer is best for preventing weeds?

Accepted Answer

Using a pre-emergent fertilizer in the early spring can help prevent weeds from growing in the first place. You can also apply a post-emergent fertilizer to kill weeds already growing.

Question 4

What are the benefits of using an organic fertilizer?

Accepted Answer

Organic fertilizers, like bone meal and fish emulsion, are slow-release and improve soil health over time. They help feed the soil microorganisms that benefit your lawn.

Question 5

Which fertilizer makes your grass green?

Accepted Answer

Nitrogen is the key nutrient that promotes lush green growth in grass. So, fertilizers higher in nitrogen, like a 20-5-10, are often used to encourage a vibrant green color.

Question 6

Is this fertilizer safe for my kids?

Accepted Answer

Some fertilizers can be harmful to children if ingested or if they come into contact with their skin. Look for fertilizers labeled "safe for kids" to ensure they are safe for your family.
