Overview

Add this 4-6-4 fertilizer mixed with new grass seed to an existing lawn as a great way to promote dense grass coverage and help crowd out weeds. Specifically formulated to be applied directly with grass seed and not burn. Sowing additional applications of grass seed to an existing lawn is one of the best ways to promote a thick lawn free of weeds, without using chemicals.

Turf Starter fertilizer combines high quality compost with organic phosphorus from composted turkey litter to provide the unique conditions that grass needs in order to establish. The composting process fully stabilizes the fertilizer, making it safe so it will not burn the grass seed. This allows the nutrients to be applied directly where the seedling needs it.

Not just for lawns - this 4-6-4 fertilizer can also be used in garden beds for vegetables, flowers, fruiting and root crops as an all-purpose fertilizer. It is rich in micronutrients for hearty vegetables and larger fruit and blooms.
