Standard consumer fertilizer granules are 60% bigger than the size of PGF 1granules. The pros prefer formulas with smaller particles because it provides more complete and uniform coverage, which boosts the product’s effectiveness.
When to Apply 16-0-8
PGF can be applied to all turf types any time it is actively growing. It contains all quick-release nitrogen so it is especially beneficial to apply it in the spring and fall or before an event when you want a quick green-up. PGF 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.
Fertilizer should be watered-in after application. Once the lawn has then dreid, you can mow. However, it's important to note that it is ideal to mow your lawn before applying fertilizer.
PGF does not contain phosphorus. You should avoid applying phosphorus to your lawn unless it is deficient in that nutrient. Excess phosphorus can run off your lawn and into water sources.
Once product has been applied, watered-in, and the lawn has then completely dried, pets are safe to enter back out onto the lawn.
Yes, you do! This product needs to be watered in with at least .2 inches of water. Using a rain gauge to measure irrigation can be helpful.
