The Different Kinds of Grass Fertilizer
If you’re a homeowner, then there is a good chance that your lawn needs some TLC. And the best way to give it that attention is with grass fertilizer. There are many different kinds of grass fertilizers on the market so we created this blog post to help you understand them all and choose which one will work best for your yard.
Synthetic Fertilizer
This type of fertilizer contains various minerals and nutrients that have been combined in order to create an ideal environment for healthy plants. These synthetic fertilizers can also be customized depending on what kind of plant you want to grow.
Organic Fertilizer
If you prefer organic products, then organic fertilizer may be a better option. This type of fertilizer contains natural elements that are used to nourish the soil. The best part about this type of fertilizer is that it can be homemade from waste materials such as coffee grounds and banana peels!
If you want a more personalized touch, then organic fertilizers might be for you since they allow homeowners to make their own compost with waste materials.
Water Soluble Fertilizer
This type of fertilizer is a powder that dissolves in water and releases nutrients when it comes in contact with the soil. Water soluble fertilizers are also easy to apply since homeowners simply have to add them into their lawn sprinklers or spreaders, then turn on their irrigation system for even distribution. The biggest downside to water soluble fertilizer is that it needs consistent watering in order for the nutrients to be absorbed by the soil and reach the plant’s roots.
Slow Release Fertilizer
This type of fertilizer comes as a pellet or powder, then slowly releases its nutrients into the ground over time so your grass gets all of the essential nutrients it needs. The main benefit to slow release fertilizers is that homeowners don’t have to worry about over or under applying since the fertilizer slowly releases its content into the soil, preventing runoff and waste.
