What happens here

After applying lime, the next step is to apply a high-nitrogen winterizing fertilizer. The presenter uses a 'Turf Fertilizer' with an N-P-K ratio of 28-2-3 (28% Nitrogen, 2% Phosphate, 3% Potash). Nitrogen promotes green leafy growth. He advises checking the fertilizer bag for 'Suggested Spreader Settings' which provide a chart based on the type of spreader (e.g., Earthway) and the desired nitrogen feed rate (e.g., 8-12% nitrogen feeds for 5,000 sq ft). For his 2-acre lawn, he plans to apply 5 bags of this fertilizer (and 5 bags of lime) heavily.

Goal: The presenter introduces a 28-2-3 turf fertilizer, explaining the N-P-K ratio (Nitrogen-Phosphate-Potash) and how to use the spreader settings on the bag for proper application.
