Lawn fertilizer is not the only factor we need to
discuss - Let’s talk about air. Air has oxygen and carbon dioxide and a
stack of other elements in it, but mostly air is composed of nitrogen. This
should be good news for your lawn since grass is one of the most efficient nitrogen processors on the planet!
Fertilizer is really just a four-letter word - FOOD! Lawn
fertilizer, like any other type of fertilizer is plant food. If you want to fertilize your lawn, you
will be able to find plenty of information on how to do it from every
company that sells chemical lawn fertilizers.

Fertilizer Facts
Fertilizers consist of
basically three major components:
Nitrogen (N): Promotes blade
growth, forms proteins and chlorophyll.
Phosphorus (P): Helps root, flower, and fruit development.
Potassium
(K): Helps stems and roots grow and helps your grass turn protein
into nutrients. Fertilizers may also contain calcium,
sulfur, magnesium, boron, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, etc. At first glance, this looks like a good thing,
kind of like a multi-vitamin for your lawn, however, your grass,
like any other plant gets its true nourishment from the soil
underneath it!
