Decide if you want quick release
or slow release depending on the type of grass
you have.
Quick release fertilizers only
last about four weeks in Phoenix, AZ at the most.
Slow release lawn fertilizer lasts about 9 weeks
here in the Valley.
On the fertilizer bag look for
Nitrogen for leaf development, Phosphorus for
root growth, and Potassium for root development.
Your fertilizer that you put on
your lawn depends on the type of grass you are
currently growing.
Most lawn fertilizers today are
mixed with weed controls and pest controls. If
you lawn needs to be greener then apply nitrogen
to it.
Remember your grass is living
and may not be on an exact diet, so be ready to
fluctuate with its needs at different times of
the year more than others.
Another good source of grass food
is compost. It is cheap and works great all year
long.
Phoenix lawn fertilizing is done
best with a spreader. Do not put too much in one
area or you will burn your grass.
