    At MySoil® we do not produce or manufacture fertilizer products, but rather connect DIY’ers to vetted products developed by vendors specifically for the DIY market. 

    This 12-12-12 fertilizer is a balanced blend of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, and includes micronutrients. The 12-12-12 is a great fertilizer for soils that require a good balance of the “Big 3” nutrients (N-P-K).  12-12-12 is also great for new seeding and sodding projects to give new plants a balanced start.  This fertilizer is a "hybrid", containing synthetic nutrient components as well as a natural organic base component called Bio-Nite. The Bio-Nite component feeds soil microbes and assists in building soil health. Formulated specifically for DIYers.

    • Contains 3% Iron + Bio-Nite™
    • Contains micronutrients: magnesium, boron, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc
    • Great for seeding/sod installation or when recommended by a Soil Test


    Product Description:

    The 12-12-12 Starter contains 12% nitrogen, utilizing a premium nitrogen source of ammonium sulfate which brings a really nice dark-blue-green color to turf and interacts well with the other elements in the overall blend.

    This blend also contains 12% phosphorus, which is plenty to push roots in an existing lawn or stimulate rooting in your seed, sod, plug, or spring project. Rounding out the macros is 12% potassium. For potassium, the 12-12-12 Starter uses a premium formulation, sulfate of potash, known to have a lower salt index. Also includes 3% Iron and a suite of other micronutrients including boron, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc.

     

    All-Natural Bio-Nite™ in Every Bag!

    Bio-Nite is a bio-solid filler added to every bag of 12-12-12 Starter. Bio-Nite is the same thing as Milorganite, but comes out of South Florida instead of Milwaukee. The included Bio-Nite is feeding microbes in the soil every time you apply!


    Application Information:
    You can apply 12-12-12 Starter Fertilizer when you seed or sod, but it’s also great for anyone just looking for “all the things”. If you have a soil test that shows that you are low on the “Big 3” macros, (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium), this is an excellent choice. 12-12-12 Starter Fertilizer can be used on the following grasses:


    Cool Season Lawns - Kentucky Bluegrass, Turf Type Tall Fescue (all fescues), Ryegrass.
    Warm Season Lawns - Bermuda, St Augustine, Zoysia, Centipede, Bahia.
