If you’ve read about lawn care, you’ve likely read that you should be fertilizing your lawn. But do you know why? What does fertilizer do for your lawn? We’re here to let you know why fertilizing is important and how it can completely transform your lawn.
Adding Nutrients
Adding fertilizer to your lawn adds needed nutrients that will help your lawn grown strong. As it feeds your lawn, soil will naturally lose nutrients over time. If you want some strong, high-quality fertilizer, add fertilizer. It will not only help your lawn to look lusher and greener, but it will also grow stronger and last longer. Fertilizer will help grass to grow a stronger, deeper root—making it more durable. Your lawn is exposed to many things—weather, traffic, pests, etc. Durability will help your lawn look better and stay healthy longer.
Easy to Apply
You don’t need to be an expert gardener to use fertilizer. Applying fertilizer to your lawn is simple and doesn’t generally take more than about twenty minutes. How you apply your fertilizer will differ based on the type of fertilizer you’re using. But typically, fertilizer is a matter of spreading seed and watering—nothing too tricky. Your lawn’s specific fertilizer needs will differ based on size, type of grass, and climate. No matter your lawn’s needs, fertilizer is a simple way to help it to grow stronger.
The two most common types of fertilizer are liquid and dry. The liquid is spread with a canister, garden hose, or some other attachment. Dry fertilizer can be spread with a spread or by hand. You can try many different methods, but it is very important that you spread your fertilizer evenly so that your lawn grows evenly.
Cost Effective
Fertilizer is not only simple, but it’s also very affordable. In the long run, using fertilizer will help your lawn to grow stronger and stay healthier longer—which can save you money. You won’t need to invest as much down the road if you grow a healthy lawn and keep it healthy. It will also up your curb appeal. Fertilizer is a small thing that is a very cost-effective investment over time as your lawn grows strong. You can save big on landscaping and potential repairs that your lawn may need if it’s not properly taken care of. Keep your lawn looking great for longer with fertilizer.
Promote Growth
The main purpose of fertilizer is to promote growth in your lawn. If you want your lawn to grow faster and grow stronger, feed it fertilizer. Trying to grow a lawn without fertilizer can be very time-consuming. Speed the process along and get a healthier lawn with some fertilizer. You should fertilize your lawn about 3-4 times a year.
