FERTILIZERS
Newly seeded areas must have a prompt source of nutrients immediately following germination. Based on your soil test results the fertilizer and additives within the hydroseeding slurry are the most effective way for seed to have a prompt source of nutrients needed to ensure strong and healthy growth.
​
The three main components of any fertilizer are Nitrogen, Potassium, and Potash. These elements are listed on the bag, which specifies the percentages. This is what the numbers mean:
-
Is Nitrogen which makes the grass green and healthy looking.
-
Is Potassium which provides for a healthy root system.
-
Is Potash which delivers food for overall plant health such as disease resistance.
A RHYME TO REMEMBER FOR FERTILIZER IS: “UP” (NITROGEN), “DOWN” (PHOSPHATE), “ALL AROUND” (POTASSIUM)
