Dry fertilizer is the conventional way that most people fertilize their turf grass. The three numbers on the bag symbolize nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (in that order). These are the macro essential nutrients to the plant. The next most important nutrient to the plant is Calcium, followed by magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn).
Dry fertilizer used in small amounts can be very efficient, but most people do not use it that way. To get the most bang for your buck, so to speak, use a fertilizer that has at least 25 percent slow release nitrogen to promote a more uniform color for a longer period of time.
