Give new grass a confident start with Green-Up Lawn Food for Seeding & Sodding

Jonathan Green Green-Up Lawn Food is tailored for fresh starts—whether you’re seeding a bare patch, overseeding thin areas, or laying new sod. The 12-18-8 blend is designed to support root formation and encourage robust establishment, helping young seedlings push through soil with vigor. The granules have a light, even texture that blends into the soil after watering, leaving a tidy presence on the surface rather than a heavy residue. Use it in spring or fall when you’re actively establishing or repairing your lawn, and pair it with steady watering for best results.

Key benefits that support establishment

• Root-friendly formulation: The 12-18-8 analysis focuses on phosphorus to support early root formation as seedlings establish.
• Soil nutrient readiness: Humates improve nutrient availability and exchange in the root zone, helping young roots access what they need.
• Long-lasting feeding: Provides sustained nutrition for up to two months, backing steady growth during initial establishment.
• Easy to apply: Suitable for rotary, drop, or handheld spreaders, and can be applied the same day you seed or sod.
• Complete coverage: The 5 lb bag covers up to 1,500 sq ft, making it a practical option for typical residential areas; best applied in spring or fall when establishing lawns.

How to use Green-Up Lawn Food for best results

• Prepare and apply evenly: Spread across the area where you are seeding or laying sod using the appropriate spreader settings.
• Water after application: A light irrigation helps move nutrients to the root zone and supports uptake.
• Seasonal timing: Apply during the recommended spring or fall windows for establishment projects.
• Storage and handling: Store in a cool, dry place and seal bag after use to maintain product quality.
