Fertilizers deliver much-needed nutrients to your lawn in Texas and are crucial in encouraging robust growth. However, not all fertilizers are created equal. While all fertilizers deliver nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to the plant, not all of them go the extra mile to feed the soil. Some fertilizers are also homogenous, which means each prill contains the same amount of each nutrient to encourage strong and resilient grass growth. You'll also want to choose organic fertilizer because it helps prevent leaching and volatilization, allowing your lawn to maximize the nutrients to achieve a thick and beautiful lawn.

Some fertilizers only feed the plant, but you want a fertilizer that also feeds the soil.

Generally, fertilizers contain three main nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients are labeled as NPK on fertilizer bags (N is for nitrogen, P is for phosphorus, and K is for potassium). When you have your lawn fertilized, these nutrients are supplied to your grass. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are key nutrients that promote healthy growth, fortifying your plants to resist stressful conditions and promoting dense and green growth.

However, some fertilizers do more than just replenish your plants' nutrient supply because they can also feed the soil. You want to use this type of product because it is a more sustainable solution that sets up your plants for long-term success. Fertilizers that also feed the soil ensure that the ground where your grass and plants grow is ideal for robust development. They improve soil conditions and add beneficial microbes that make naturally abundant nutrients like phosphorus available to your plants! They can also add minerals to the soil to supply other important resources that help your plants thrive.

Use a fertilizer that is homogenized for a more uniform application.

Some fertilizers reign supreme over others because they are homogenized. Homogenous fertilizers mean each prill or granule contains the exact same amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. You want this kind of fertilizer for your plants because it ensures a more uniform application, providing even nourishment to the lawn and consistent results during each treatment!

Choose organic fertilizer for optimum nutrient absorption.

When fertilizing your lawn, you should make sure to use organic fertilizers. This type of fertilizer is good for grass because it helps prevent leaching, allowing maximum nutrient absorption for optimum growth. Leaching happens when excess nutrients seep into the soil, potentially getting carried away into nearby bodies of water. This can be harmful to the natural area because too many nutrients, especially nitrogen, can cause nutrient pollution to bodies of water, like lakes and rivers. Organic fertilizers also lessen the risk of volatilization, where nutrients get released into the air and cause negative effects on the environment.

Multiple fertilizer treatments throughout the year are necessary to ensure that grass is receiving the nutrients that it needs to stay healthy all year long!
