A little information about what Fertilizer does...

Fertilizers are like the vitamins of the plant world: they help supplement nutrients that allow plants to vibrantly grow and flourish.

Basically, fertilizers are minerals that break down and are absorbed by the roots of the plants to give them the chemical elements they need to grow well, particularly nitrogen and potassium.

There exists a stigma in some circles that fertilizer is toxic to the environment and shouldn’t be used just to make your grass appear pristine.

While there is merit to these concern and some situations where this can be the case, not all fertilizer is bad.

Whether you prefer using organic or chemical fertilizers in your yard, there are healthy and environmentally-friendly products out there if you do a little research and know what to look for.

Keep your yard feeling and looking healthy by knowing the best time to fertilize your lawn.
