Hi Gerry, I have a question about my lawn. I just seeded my lawn. How long do I have to wait to fertilize my lawn?


Depends on the fertilizer-

If you use .a seeding / sodding fertiizer- use it right away. These types of fertilizers are formulated to feed the roots. Thus they are typically high in the middle number to provide phosphorus. Having said that, most soils in this area are not lacking in phosphorus. Phosphorus does not move out of the soil easily.

Other types of fertilizer - do not use unless they are 70-75% slow release as the nutrients could burn tender seedling roots. Most other lawn fertilizers have a larger portion of the first number- Nitrogen. Too much Nitrogen can be hard on young roots. When they are not mostly slow release, the Nitrogen is readily available to the plants. In this case, do not use until the seedlings are well established. Or use at only one-quarter the recommended rate.

Our Turf King fertilizer is 75% slow release and will not burn seedlings. For our customers, there is no danger of harming new grass seedlings if our fertilizer is applied shortly before or shortly after you seed your lawn.
