Product Overview
Want to give your new lawn the best chance of survival and a successful germination rate? Of course you do! Jonathan Green Veri-Green Starter Lawn Fertilizer for Seeding & Sodding has been specifically designed to grow thicker grass roots more quickly. Healthy grass roots are essential for new seedlings to survive harsh weather conditions.

Our Veri-Green Lawn Food for Seeding and Sodding is rich in phosphorus, a key component in the development of root formation. This product also contains humates that enhance the efficiency, availability, and exchange of plant nutrients to and from the soil.

For best results, this starter fertilizer should be applied just after seeding a new lawn or installing sod rolls. We recommend checking local ordinances to determine the appropriate application times and any region-specific restrictions.

  • Fertilizers can be applied with any of our soil amendments. We don’t recommend applying two of our weed controls or fertilizers together, as you risk burning your lawn. You can, however, apply two of these products together if one has fertilizer and the other one doesn’t. The rule of thumb is: if two products have different functions, it is usually possible to apply them together.

  • Apply Veri-Green Starter Lawn Fertilizer for Seeding & Sodding to a dry lawn a day or two after mowing.

    To prevent cross-contamination, do not store near open containers of fertilizer, seed or other pesticides. Under these conditions, fertilizer will last at least two years.

    • Carefully read all instructions prior to application
    • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating or drinking
    • Do not apply near water, storm drains, or drainage ditches.
    • Do not apply if heavy rain is expected.

  • Should I fertilize when seeding?

    Yes, we recommend applying fertilizer prior to seeding to supply your lawn with the necessary nutrients it needs to support adequate grass growth. In order to promote strong root development for your new seedlings, you should choose a fertilizer high in phosphorus, such as Veri-Green for Seeding and Sodding. Remember to pay close attention to and follow the directions on the back of the specific fertilizer variety you’ve selected, as some fertilizers cannot be applied the same day as seeding.

How to Apply

Apply

  • We recommend using a spreader to evenly distribute the product onto your lawn.
  • Check to make sure the spreader opening at the bottom of the hopper is closed.
  • Set the spreader according to the recommended setting on the packaging or use our Spreader Settings Tool above.
  • Push the lever forward only when ready to spread.
  • Apply fertilizer around the perimeter of the lawn to establish a turning area. Then run the spreader back and forth within the area outlined by your first perimeter application. Always allow an overlap to avoid gaps in coverage.

Post-Application

Sweep any excess granules off of hard surfaces and back onto the lawn.

Thoroughly irrigate the treated area after application for best results.

Once watered, wait a day to mow the lawn allowing the product time to activate.
