While organic fertilizers tend to contain very low amounts of nitrogen (3%, compared to as much as 30% for chemical fertilizers), nitrogen is a critical nutrient for the growth of healthy, thick turf.  Although lower nutrient loading in the soil is an environmental plus, organic fertilizers release nutrients immediately. Without timed-release, rain can wash them away much more quickly, leaving the grass plant starved for nutrients. 

As the benefits of an organic fertilizer often go unnoticed, homeowners will spread multiple applications of organic fertilizers to generate a response. Organic fertilizer and multiple applications is costly, time consuming and not environmentally friendly. Homeowners may think using an organic fertilizer is beneficial, but it will have very little impact on the grass plant.

Is there a better way? We think so. Using a timed-release fertilizer provides nutrients over an extended period.  And because of the slow-release technology in Greenview Fairway Formula, the nitrogen nutrient will not be washed away with the first rain.
