About this item
Product details
Strong Root Systems Start Here The Andersons New Lawn Starter 20-27-5 is specifically formulated to develop strong and healthy root systems. This formula contains three types of nitrogen - fast, intermediate and slow reacting to give quick response and then a steady feeding of nitrogen that promotes top growth of the grass and produces a deep green color. Sulfur helps maintain the dark green color and encourages more vigorous plant and root growth. This formula also includes phosphate, potash and iron. The phosphate is essential in the development of deep, strong roots. The potash thickens the wall structure of the grass and makes the grass more vigorous. Iron prevents yellowing by aiding the development of chlorophyll in the grass. Safe for Any Grass Type New Lawn Starter is safe for use on northern and southern turf types. It can be used during any part of the growing stage but is most ideal for applications that include grass planting, overseeding, or installing sod. 1% Iron Additional iron in New Lawn Starter aids in the development of chlorophyll in grass which prevents yellowing and encourages a deep greening. Three Sources of Nitrogen Three sources of nitrogen ensure your new lawn receives immediate nutrition and then a consistent, extended feeding for up to 6 weeks. Formulated for Root Development The New Lawn Starter formula includes phosphorus, potassium and essential micronutrients for stimulating root growth and establishment. Applying New Lawn Starter Fertilizer New Lawn Starter can be applied any time during the growing season but is ideal for spring and fall applications when seeding and installing sod. Apply New Lawn Starter at the recommended rate. If possible, work it into the soil 2- 3 inches deep before spreading seed or laying sod. If you're seeding, be sure to keep soil moist until seeds germinate. Do not allow the soil to dry out.

The results aligned with my expectations based on the product used. Lawn greened up nicely and noted overseed germination happened in 6-12 days. It's been about 6 weeks, lawn is still green and new grass is full and healthy.

Perked right up
My new grass I am trying to establish in my back yard was struggling and it just never would take off! I put your New Lawn Starter on it 3 days ago and watered it in and went out of town! When I got back home I was shocked! What a difference I saw! I will be using Anderson products from now on!
