When it comes to building a lush, healthy lawn, whether you’re starting from seed, laying sod, or just want to give your turf a boost, choosing the right fertilizer is key. Enter Yard Mastery’s 12-12-12 Starter Fertilizer with 3% Iron and Bio-Nite: the ultimate all-in-one solution designed specifically for DIYers who want professional results.
What Is 12-12-12 Starter Fertilizer?
Yard Mastery’s 12-12-12 Starter Fertilizer is a balanced granular blend featuring equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N-P-K), plus 3% iron and a suite of essential micronutrients. It’s formulated to give your lawn everything it needs to establish strong roots, vibrant color, and long-term health right from the start.
The Science: Why a Balanced Blend Matters
- Nitrogen (12%): Fuels top growth and that classic green color. Yard Mastery uses premium ammonium sulfate for a quick, steely blue-green response.
- Phosphorus (12%): Essential for root development, especially important for new seed, sod, or plugs. Strong roots mean a resilient, drought-tolerant lawn.
- Potassium (12%): Supports overall plant health, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. The sulfate of potash used here has a lower salt index, making it gentler on new grass.
- Iron (3%): Delivers a rich, deep green color, even in cool weather.
- Micronutrients: Includes manganese, sulfur, iron, magnesium, and zinc for complete nutrition.
The Bio-Nite Advantage
Every bag of 12-12-12 Starter Fertilizer is spiked with Bio-Nite, a natural bio-solid filler similar to Milorganite but sourced from South Florida. Bio-Nite feeds soil microbes, adds organic matter, and helps create a living, breathing soil ecosystem.
When and How to Use 12-12-12 Starter Fertilizer
