Lesco Starter Fertilizer

The 19-19-19 ratio indicates that this fertilizer contains an equal balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This balanced approach is ideal for new lawns because it provides the foundational nutrients needed for both root development and top-growth establishment simultaneously.

Control Release Nitrogen allows the fertilizer to break down gradually rather than releasing all its nutrients at once. This ensures your new seedlings receive a steady, consistent supply of nitrogen over time, which prevents burning and promotes healthier, long-term growth.

Yes, the granular formulation is designed for easy application with standard broadcast or rotary spreaders. With an SGN 240 particle size, it is engineered to flow consistently and provide uniform coverage across your planting area.

While specifically formulated for new plantings and turf establishment, the balanced nutrient profile can be used on established lawns if a soil test indicates a need for equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. However, it is most effective when used to kickstart new growth.

Coverage depends on your specific application rate, which is determined by your soil's nutrient needs and the type of grass you are growing. Always refer to the label instructions on the bag to calculate the exact square footage based on your target nitrogen application rate.
