Article: Granular vs. Liquid Fertilizer Applications

Granular fertilizers offer several benefits over liquid fertilizer applications. All of these advantages listed below lead to a healthier, stronger, and better looking lawn.

Liquid Urea applications are subject to high volatility. This means a large percentage of the fertilizer can evaporate away within the first twenty-four hours. Granular fertilizers are much less susceptible to this.

The granular products ProSource One supplies have high amount of organic base in them. Organic fertilizers offer slow release qualities, micro-nutrients, and soil microbes. It makes for a healthier soil structure below, allowing for a healthier grass plant. Liquid fertilizers generally don't include organics.

The slow release fertilizer used in our blends offer eight weeks of solid slow release. This eliminates the huge growth flush after application and gives your turf a sustained feed until the next application.

Regardless of the applicator hired to apply fertilizer and weed control products, it is always beneficial to find out what exactly is being used for each application. This allows you to better compare apples to apples. It also allows you to explain what is being put on your property when questioned and allows you to justify money spent for the service you're getting.
