Key Features
LESCO® Lawn Starter 18-24-12 includes 18% nitrogen, 24% phosphorus, and 12% potassium, a combination designed to meet the specific needs of young grass. The high phosphorus content promotes deep, healthy root systems—critical for the success of new grass. At the same time, the slow-release nitrogen ensures consistent, controlled growth without sudden spurts. This formula not only feeds your lawn effectively but also strengthens its ability to withstand stress from heat, drought, and other environmental factors.
Coverage and Application
Each 50-pound bag provides coverage for up to 12,000 square feet, making it a cost-effective solution for large areas. For best results, apply during the early stages of lawn establishment in the spring or fall. Prepare the soil by loosening and removing debris, and ensure it’s seeded or sodded before application. Spread the fertilizer evenly using a broadcast or drop spreader, following the recommended rate of 4–5 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Water thoroughly after application to activate the nutrients and support seed germination.
