Jonathan Green Veri-Green starter lawn fertilizer for seeding and sodding has been specifically designed to grow quicker and thicker grass roots. Healthy grass roots are essential for surviving the harsh summer and winter weather conditions. Give your new lawn the great chance of survival and a quick and successful germination. Our Veri-Green lawn food for seeding and sodding is rich in phosphorus, a key component in the development of root formation for new grass seedlings. This product also contains humates that enhance the efficiency, availability and exchange of plant nutrients to and from the soil. For better results, this starter fertilizer should be applied just after seeding a new lawn or installing sod rolls. We recommend checking local ordinances to determine the appropriate application times and any region-specific restrictions.
