There are many different brands of fertilizer that come with many different components, but the three main essential ingredients are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen aids your lawn in color and growth, phosphorus grows healthy roots, and potassium is like a super food for your grass is overall health. When buying it, make sure that these three ingredients are listed, to ensure you are buying a quality product.
