Total Lawn Food
16-4-8 + Iron

Total Lawn Food is the perfect all-purpose fertilizer for most warm and cool season turfgrasses. NOT Recommended for Centipede**.

Total Lawn Food contains both soluble and slow release fertilizers. The soluble nitrogen gives the turf plant a good boost and encourages more aggressive leaf growth. The slow release will become available to the plant over time to prevent a spiking of growth in favor of a continuous even growth pattern.

The purpose of the Total Lawn Food 16-4-8 is to replace nutrients that have been removed in a ratio that is best for the turf being grown.

This formulation is best for actively growing warm (mid spring to late summer) and cool (fall to mid spring) season turfgrasses.

 

** High rates of nitrogen can mean death of a turfgrass such as Centipede that can grow well with from 0 to 2 pounds of actual nitrogen per year.

Starter & Centipede Formulation

This is a traditional fertilizer mix used for generations in farming and landscape maintenance as a 'starter fertilizer'. This formulation, at the recommended rate, adds a small amount of nitrogen, but is higher in phosphorus and potassium.

Phosphorus and potassium are important in early spring to encourage health and more prolific root growth in warm season grasses.

Applying 5-10-15 in spring to Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia or centipede will encourage root recovery from the winter without creating lush growth. Warm season grasses that are lush and green too early are subject to frost damage causing delayed green-up or in worst cased dead grass.

Pelletized Dolomitic Limestone

Super-Sod Pelletized Dolomitic Limestone is a dust-free, easy-to-spread limestone product that neutralizes soil acidity and is a major source of secondary nutrients - calcium and magnesium.

The need for lime should be established based on a soil test. Maintaining a pH level between 6.3 and 7.0 is important for quality production of lawn grasses and garden plants.

Lightly rake into the surface 2 to 3 inches for best results before planting and continue to apply as soil test indicates over the top.

Only apply lime to a Centipede lawn based on soil tests.

 

 

 

* NOTE: Fertilizers are available in 20 pound easy-to-handle bags. Lime is available in 25 pound easy-to-handle bags.

 
Rates of Applications

BEFORE SODDING: Apply the contents of this bag (20 pounds) to 2000 sq. ft. of prepared lawn surface using a rotary spreader. Lightly till or rake into soil before installing sod.

ESTABLISHED (Well Rooted) LAWNS: Apply the contents of this bag to 2000 sq. ft. Applications to centipede lawns should be made in late spring and mid summer.

Pelletized Dolomitic Limestone

Pelletized dolomitic limestone should be applied based on soil test results.
