Fertilome 20# Lawn Food Plus Iron 24-0-4

Key Features

Nutrient-Rich Formula:

• 24-0-4 Nutrient Ratio: The 24-0-4 formulation provides a high concentration of nitrogen (24%) and potassium (4%) while omitting phosphorus. This is ideal for promoting robust and green growth in established lawns where phosphorus is not required.
  • Nitrogen: Supports rapid greening and dense turf growth. The two types of nitrogen (quick-release and slow-release) provide immediate and long-lasting benefits.
  • Potassium: Strengthens grass and boosts its resilience to environmental stress, including drought and disease.

Chelated Iron for Improved Green-Up:

• Fast-Acting Iron: Chelated iron ensures rapid greening without the risk of lawn burn, offering a fast and long-lasting boost to the lawn's color and health.
• Improves Grass Color: Iron is crucial for the production of chlorophyll, which boosts the grass's vibrant green color and improves photosynthesis efficiency.

Immediate and Long-Term Growth:

• Quick and Sustained Release Nitrogen: The dual-action nitrogen in Ferti·lome® Lawn Food Plus Iron 24-0-4 promotes fast greening and sustained growth. Quick-release nitrogen gives an immediate boost, while slow-release nitrogen nourishes a lush, healthy lawn.
• Balanced Growth: The targeted formulation encourages balanced growth, ensuring your lawn stays green, healthy, and robust over time.

Application Instructions

1. Preparation:

• Mow your lawn to a recommended height before application.
• Ensure the lawn is dry before applying the fertilizer to avoid clumping.

2. Application Rate: Apply Ferti·lome® Lawn Food Plus Iron 24-0-4 at 4 pounds per 1,000 square feet of lawn area.

3. Spreading: Use a broadcast or drop spreader to ensure even coverage. Spread the fertilizer in a criss-cross pattern for uniform distribution across the lawn.

4. Watering: Water the lawn immediately after application to activate the nutrients and help them penetrate the soil. Proper watering ensures that the fertilizer reaches the roots for optimal absorption.

5. Reapplication: Reapply the fertilizer every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season for continued results and a healthy, green lawn.

Benefits

Fast and Long-Lasting Results:

• Immediate Greening: Thanks to its quick-release nitrogen and chelated iron, Ferti ·lome® Lawn Food Plus Iron 24-0-4 provides a rapid greening of the lawn within days of application.
• Sustained Growth: Slow-release nitrogen feeds the lawn over time, supporting healthy, consistent growth and reducing the need for frequent fertilization.

Improved Lawn Health:

• Strengthens Turf: Potassium helps strengthen grass blades and roots, improving the lawn's ability to withstand stress from heat, drought, and foot traffic.
• Prevents Yellowing: Iron deficiency is a common cause of yellowing in grass, but the chelated iron in this product prevents that by promoting chlorophyll production, leading to rich, dark green grass.

Environmentally Friendly:

• No Phosphorus: Many regions restrict phosphorus use due to concerns about runoff into waterways. This fertilizer omits phosphorus, making it suitable for environmentally conscious homeowners or those in phosphorus-restricted areas.

Ideal for All Lawn Types:

• Versatile Use: Whether you have cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, or fescue, or warm-season varieties like Bermuda grass or St. Augustine grass, Ferti·lome® Lawn Food Plus Iron 24-0-4 is formulated to work effectively on all lawn types.

Recommended Use Cases

• Established Lawns: The high nitrogen content makes this product ideal for established lawns that need a boost in growth and color but do not require phosphorus for root development.
• Turf Maintenance: Regular use of this fertilizer helps maintain the overall health and appearance of the lawn, keeping it green, dense, and resilient throughout the growing season.
• Seasonal Transitions: Apply Ferti·lome® Lawn Food Plus Iron 24-0-4 in the early spring to jumpstart growth or in the fall to prepare the lawn for winter dormancy.

Final Words

The Ferti·lome® Lawn Food Plus Iron 24-0-4 is an excellent choice for a lush, green, and healthy lawn. Its combination of fast-acting and slow-release nitrogen and the added benefits of chelated iron and potassium makes it a powerful tool for promoting immediate results and long-term lawn health.
