It can reduce weeds, moss, and certain diseases and make lawn care easier.<br> <br> <b>Formulations on a fertilizer bag</b><br> · (N) Nitrogen, (P) phosphorus and (K) potassium and are always shown in the same order N-P-K.<br> · In lawn care, the available nitrogen will be one of the more important ingredients, as it is the main contributor to health and “greening” of lawn grasses.<br> · An ideal fertilizer is a fertilizer containing a small amount of quick release, plus a slow release to supply (N) between fertilizations.<br> <br> <b>The Rosedale Gardens Lawn Fertilizer Blend 22-2-14 with 65% Slow Release Nitrogen</b> is formulated for lawns in our area and balances a quick release nitrogen with a slow release nitrogen for consistent fertilization through the season.<br> <br> 5 to 6 applications through the year will give the entire balanced nutritional program a lawn needs.<br> <br> <b>How much to apply?</b><br> · Measure the lawn surface. Length x width will give the square footage of the lawn.<br> · An average healthy lawn will need 4 pounds of nitrogen per year per 1,000 square foot of lawn area.<br> · This breaks down to 1 pound per application<br> <br> <b>Yearly recommended application of Rosedale Gardens Special Blend:</b><br> 1st week in April<br> 1st week in June<br> 1st week in August<br> Mid-September<br> Mid-November<br> <br> The formulation of Rosedale Gardens Blend will require 4.5 pounds of product from the bag per 1000 sq. ft. of lawn area. Formulate the lawn surface accordingly.<br> <br> <b>Apply as recommended.</b><br> · The application rate can be adjusted based on the overall health and type of lawn. <br> · Never exceed an annual application rate of 50 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.<br> · It is very important to apply evenly and uniformly<br> <br> All lawn spreaders are different and adjusting them can be tricky, settings and distribution of fertilizer depends on how fast the person applying it walks and the type of spreader used.<br> <br> <b>Setting the spreader:</b><br> · Set the spreader at a very low setting. <br> · Figure the approximate amount needed for the complete application. <br> · Fill the spreader and apply the fertilizer by going over the lawn evenly, several times until the entire correct amount is applied. <br> · This can give the most accurate coverage.<br> <br> <b>Another method:</b><br> · Stake out a 200 sq. ft. area of the lawn. (example a 10 x 20 square)<br> · Weigh, on a scale, the amount of fertilizer needed per 200 sq ft. (divide the amount per 1,000 sq. ft. by 5)<br> · Set the spreader on the recommended setting and spread the weighed amount on the staked out lawn area.<br> · If you have fertilizer left in the hopper, increase the setting slightly. If you run out, lower the setting slightly. <br> · Test again on another 200 sq. ft. area of the lawn until it is correct.<br> · Write down the amount needed in a place it can be referred to at next feeding time.<br> · Change the setting if you change spreaders or fertilizer formulations.<br> <br> <br> <b>Rosedale Gardens</b><br> 7311 Rosedale Street (253) 851.7333<br> 11621 Burnham Drive (253) 851.4769<br> Gig Harbor, Washington<br>  </font></p> <h3>Yearly Lawn Care Calendar</h3> <p><font size="2">1. March <br> Treat for moss.<br> Aerate soil if needed, broadcast sand over the surface after aeration to promote drainage.<br> <br> Check under a 12” square of soil sample for Crane Fly Larvae, the presence of many blackbirds on the lawn also is an indicator of larvae or insects in the lawn.<br> <br> Treat for Crane Fly if needed. <br> <br> 2. Fertilizer April 1st <br> 1st Application of Rosedale Gardens Special Blend 22-2-14 Lawn Fertilizer <br> <br> 3. Spring <br> Assess lawn for it’s overall health. Inspect for: <br> Moss,<br> Signs of disease, <br> Measure thatch,<br> Observe blackbirds on the lawn, <br> Check soil for compaction, <br> Look at the density and color of the grass and presence of spring weeds.<br> Your observations will determine how to take care of your lawn this season. <br> <br> 4. Water The Lawn <br> Water as determined by your lawn’s needs. The recommended 1” a week is measured by natural rainfall, drainage, soil texture, depth and weather conditions. Know your turf and base water needs by it’s cultural conditions. Slow, deep watering, not just surface water, will achieve a healthy root zone.<br> <br> 5. Mow The Lawn <br> Mow grass when blades are 1/3rd above cutting height, never stress lawn by cutting more than 1/3rd at any one time. If lawn has overgrown, cut 1/3rd of it’s overgrown height, then wait a few days and cut another 1/3rd and so on.</font></p> <p><font size="2"><br> 6. Weeds in the Lawn <br> A healthy lawn will out compete most weeds. Hand pull or spot treat. Avoid broadcast lawn herbicides unless absolutely necessary. Small hard to dig weeds like buttercups, love low fertility, so use our Rosedale Garden’s special Blend slow release fertilizer to keep healthy competition with weeds and a well cared for lawn. <br> <br> 7. June 1st <br> 2nd application of Rosedale Gardens Special Blend 22-2-14 Lawn Fertilizer. <br> <br> <br> 8.

Fertilizer - November 15th <br> 5th application of Rosedale Gardens Special Blend 22-2-14 Lawn Fertilizer.
