The New Lawn Starter 20-27-5 from The Andersons is specifically formulated to develop strong and healthy root systems, a crucial starting point for any new lawn. This formula contains three distinct types of nitrogen - fast-acting, intermediate, and slow-reacting - to provide an immediate response and then a steady, extended feeding of nitrogen that promotes lush top growth and a deep, vibrant green color in the grass. The inclusion of sulfur further aids in maintaining this rich, dark green hue while encouraging more vigorous plant and root development.

In addition to nitrogen, this formula also incorporates essential phosphate, potash, and iron. The phosphate is vital for the cultivation of deep, sturdy roots, while the potash strengthens the structural integrity of the grass blades, enhancing the overall vigor of the lawn. The iron component prevents yellowing by supporting the grass's chlorophyll production, resulting in a healthier, greener appearance.

Suitable for both northern and southern turf varieties, the New Lawn Starter can be applied at any stage of the growing cycle, but it is particularly well-suited for use during grass planting, overseeding, or the installation of sod. The 1% iron content in this fertilizer further boosts the development of chlorophyll, leading to a deeper, richer green color in the grass.

The three distinctive nitrogen sources work in tandem to provide immediate nutrition as well as a consistent, extended feeding for up to 6 weeks, ensuring your new lawn receives the optimal nourishment it needs to thrive. The comprehensive formula, which includes phosphorus, potassium, and essential micronutrients, is specifically designed to stimulate robust root growth and establishment, laying the foundation for a lush, vibrant lawn.

When applying the New Lawn Starter Fertilizer, it is recommended to do so at the recommended application rate. For best results, work the fertilizer into the soil, to a depth of 2-3 inches, before spreading seed or laying sod. If seeding, be sure to keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds have germinated, taking care not to allow the soil to dry out.

Formulated for new sod areas, newly seeded sections, and the promotion of vigorous grass growth, the New Lawn Starter from The Andersons provides an optimum balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and essential micronutrients to encourage the establishment of strong, healthy seedlings and robust root development. With the added benefit of 1% iron for extra deep greening, this fertilizer is ideal for both spring and fall applications, ensuring your new lawn gets the best possible start.
