How Does The Scotts® Turf Builder® Fall Lawn Food Work?
Scotts® Turf Builder® Fall Lawn Food works by feeding your lawn the nutrients it needs to thrive in the fall.
The slow-release formula provides a steady supply of nutrients to your lawn, helping it to develop a strong root system and store up energy for the winter. The result is a thicker, greener lawn that is better able to withstand the cold weather and harsh conditions of winter.
Ingredients
While there are ingredients in this product that are designed to provide your lawn the nutrients it needs, Scotts® Turf Builder® Fall Lawn Food is phosphate-free to avoid the potential of water pollution, so using a phosphate-free fertilizer is a good way to help protect the environment.
In addition, phosphorus can be harmful to certain types of plants, so using a phosphate-free fertilizer can help to prevent damage to these plants.
