Lawns Alive!® provides an ideal blend specially formulated for consistent release so your grass enjoys a steady diet of nutrients. Like most plants, grass needs three elements in much greater quantity than all the others:
Nitrogen (N): Helps grass make the chlorophyll that gives a beautiful, healthy lawn its deep green color. Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis, the essential process in which plants manufacture carbohydrates (their stored energy source) from water, carbon dioxide and sunlight.
Phosphorus (P): Promotes strong root development and winter hardiness. It helps grass withstand environmental stress. Grass well supplied with phosphorus is less likely to become diseased.
Potassium (K): Reduces transpiration (loss of water through the blades), so grass needs less water when it has enough potassium. It strengthens leaf blades, enabling grass to recover from heavy foot traffic, and helps grass withstand stress.
