Stewart, our resident fertilizer consultant, recommends using 25lbs of Florikan 8-2-12, per 1,000 sq ft.

What do the three numbers on fertilizers mean?

All fertilizer labels have three bold numbers. These three numbers represent the primary nutrients (nitrogen(N) – phosphorus(P) – potassium(K)).

What is Nutricote fertilizer?

NUTRICOTE works like no other controlled release fertilizer. When NUTRICOTE is placed in the soil, the granules begin to absorb moisture through the coating membrane. This moisture then dissolves the nutrients inside the capsule, which, in turn, builds up an osmotic pressure.

Is higher NPK better?

The higher the number, the more nitrogen the fertilizer provides. This is why most lawn fertilizers are high in nitrogen, with formulations like 24-4-12 or 20-2-6. Phosphorus (P) promotes root development, which helps to anchor and strengthen plants. It also increases bloom and fruit production.

Is NUTRICOTE better than Osmocote?
