Description
Excellent for turf, Seasons™ 8-0-4 stimulates thick healthy turf grasses by feeding the soil naturally with the proper high nitrogen balance and organic nutrients necessary for deep green, vigorous growth. Nutrients are steadily released, feeding your grass through the soil. This stimulates deeper turf roots, more disease resistant blade structure, as well as greater drought tolerance and less water requirement.
Feather meal provides the solid slow release protein base for consistent dependable nitrogen, particularly important in professional greens. When combined with our balance of macro, micro and trace nutrients, this fertilizer supports healthy, consistent turf growth; resistant to the stresses of drought and frequent cutting. In particular, frequent mowing removes calcium from turf, so we are careful to provide a strong balance of calcium to replenish the needs of the soil and turf.
Derived from organic ingredients and natural minerals it also stimulates the necessary soil microbial action required to aid in thatch decomposition and nutrient uptake. Seasons™ 8-0-4 is granulated for easy application and even distribution of nutrients.
Additionally Seasons™ 8-0-4 is great for nitrogen loving plants and vegetables, such as bamboo, lilies, beans, corn, cabbage, kale and heavy feeding monocots. It also replenishes fruit trees after harvesting. These heavy feeders benefit from our higher steady release nitrogen and long-lasting nutrient formula.
Unlike synthetic or poultry waste fertilizers, Seasons™ 8-0-4 can be applied throughout the year, without the fear of growth spiking, weak stems or plant burn.
