8 Steps To Thick Green Lawn In Just 3 Weeks

What happens here

Approximately two weeks after overseeding, the presenter applies granular fertilizer. He emphasizes the importance of nitrogen, explaining that it promotes healthy leaf growth and the production of chlorophyll, which is vital for photosynthesis. He loads a bag of granular nitrogen fertilizer (specifically Scotts Green Max) into a walk-behind spreader, setting the dial to the recommended application rate (number 6 in his case, based on the spreader's instructions). He then walks across the lawn, ensuring even coverage of the fertilizer. This method differs from liquid fertilizer application with hose-end sprayers, as it uses solid pellets that are slowly released into the soil. The video does not demonstrate liquid fertilizer application.

Goal: Apply a granular nitrogen-rich fertilizer to the lawn using a walk-behind spreader to promote healthy leaf growth and overall vigor.
