Granular - Winter - Lawn Fertilizers - The Home Depot

Question 1

Is organic lawn fertilizer better than synthetic?

Accepted Answer

Both organic and synthetic fertilizers have their benefits. Organic fertilizers, derived from natural sources, release nutrients slowly, improving soil health. Synthetic fertilizers offer immediate nutrient boosts but may have a shorter-lasting effect. Choose the option that best aligns with your lawn's needs and environmental preferences.

Question 2

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 3

Can I use this fertilizer to kill dandelions?

Accepted Answer

Look for a fertilizer that specifically states it "kills dandelions." These fertilizers typically contain a broad-leaf herbicide that will kill dandelions without harming your grass.

Question 4

When is the best time to fertilize my lawn?

Accepted Answer

Spring and fall are the optimal times to fertilize your lawn. The weather is cooler during these seasons, and the grass is growing. Applying fertilizer during these times allows the nutrients to be absorbed effectively.

Question 5

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.

Question 6

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.
