Jonathan Green Green-Up Lawn Food for Seeding & Sodding – 12-18-8, 1,500 sq ft

Prepare a thriving start for your new lawn with Jonathan Green’s Green-Up Lawn Food for Seeding & Sodding. This granular formula is built around a balanced 12-18-8 NPK blend, tailored to support the establishment and growth of newly seeded or sodded turf. With careful, slow-release granules, it aims to nourish the young roots and the green shoots that follow, helping your seeds or sod settle into the soil with vigor.

The product covers up to 1,500 square feet, making it a practical choice for small to medium lawns. The higher phosphorus content in the mix targets root development, while nitrogen and potassium contribute to overall plant health and steady growth. The result is a foundation that supports a robust, even stand as the new lawn begins to fill in. Humates included in the formulation help improve nutrient availability and exchange in the root zone, combining with the 12-18-8 blend to sustain growth for up to two months without frequent reapplication.

Application is straightforward with common spreading equipment. Whether you use a rotary, drop, or hand-held spreader, you can achieve even distribution across the area you’re seeding or sodding. The slow-release design helps minimize the risk of burn on delicate new growth, offering a measured supply of nutrients over time. This makes Green-Up suitable for overseeding bare patches or for giving a new lawn a steady start, and it’s compatible with all grass types when used as directed.
