What Number Fertiliser to Use on your Lawn
When you buy fertiliser, you'll see three numbers on the label alongside NPK. These numbers show the percentage of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium, which are the primary nutrients needed to feed your lawn.
Which Fertiliser is best for your lawn?
Starter Fertilisers for New Lawns (Starter – N:P:K 5:6:6)
A Starter Fertiliser is essential when establishing a new lawn from seed or getting your instant turf off to a good start. The higher level of Phosphorus gets the roots growing while developing a good root structure. The Potassium helps build strength and resistance to disease by building the body of the plant and in this analysis there's a lower Nitrogen level as young grass doesn’t need colour boosting.
