8 Steps To Thick Green Lawn In Just 3 Weeks

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter explains the importance of introducing nitrogen to the lawn. Nitrogen promotes healthy leaf growth, which in turn encourages chlorophyll production (vital for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their food from carbon dioxide and sunlight). He then discusses a specific lawn fertilizer from Scotts, which contains nitrogen, potash (a form of water-soluble potassium), and iron. Potash helps with healthy root growth and disease protection, while iron aids in water retention, reducing the need for excessive watering. He pours the granular fertilizer into a broadcast spreader and distributes it evenly across the lawn. He advises applying fertilizer every eight weeks for continuous lawn health.

Goal: Provide essential nutrients for robust grass growth, root health, and disease resistance

Tools and materials

  • Broadcast Spreader — Distributing granular lawn fertilizer evenly
  • Gloves — Protecting hands from fertilizer
  • Lawn Fertilizer Scotts — Providing nitrogen, potash, and iron for grass health
