Standard consumer fertilizer granules are 60% bigger than the size of Core 24-6-12 granules. The pros prefer formulas with smaller particles because it provides more complete and uniform coverage, which boosts the product’s effectiveness.
When to Apply Core 24-6-12
This all-purpose fertilizer can be applied to all turf types any time it is actively growing. It contains a combination of quick- and slow-release nitrogen for both immediate and extended feeding. Core 24-6-12 feeds for up to 8 weeks and can be reapplied at 6-8 week intervals.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Check The Forecast
Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.
Mow First
Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.
Clean Up
Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.
Water Deep
Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.
Spreader Settings
We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.
