Best fertilizer I have used.
After using your fertilizer and with irrigation the lawn is healthier and maintaining it is much easier.
I live where the soil is already high in phosphorus (the middle number) and it's hard to find any with none locally. I buy one of these each season and they are well worth the cost. My neighbors all say my yard is looking much better than under the prior homeowner.
