ferti-lome Centipede Lawn Fertilizer 15-0-15 16 lb — slow-release nitrogen, covers up to 5,000 sq ft

Ferti-lome Centipede Lawn Fertilizer 15-0-15 is a 16 lb granular formula designed to feed centipede lawns and restore green color without excess phosphorus.

Developed specifically for centipede and other compatible turfgrass types, this 15-0-15 blend delivers balanced nitrogen and potassium with a slow-release nitrogen source to promote steady greening while minimizing burn risk. A single 16 lb bag treats up to 5,000 square feet when applied at the label rate. Use it in the recommended spring and fall windows for best results and always follow the package directions for application and turf selection.

How quickly will I see greener grass after application?

Expect visible color improvement within a few weeks as the nitrogen becomes available. The slow-release nitrogen reduces the chance of a fast, short-lived surge and instead supplies steady nutrition for sustained color and turf density.

• Contains 15% total nitrogen with slow-release components.
• Noticeable green-up typically in 1–3 weeks depending on conditions.
• Regular spring/fall applications support longer-term color retention.

What turf types and lawn sizes is this fertilizer intended for?

This product is formulated for centipede grass and other turf types listed on the label; check the package for specific compatibility. At the labeled application rate, one bag covers lawns up to about 5,000 square feet, making it suitable for small to medium yards.

• 15-0-15 ratio: 15% nitrogen, 0% phosphate, 15% soluble potash.
• 16 lb bag coverage: up to 5,000 sq ft at 4 lbs per 1,000 sq ft.
• Refer to the label for exact grass varieties and regional guidance.

How should I apply it to avoid burning and get even coverage?

Apply at the recommended rate—4 pounds per 1,000 square feet—and distribute evenly with a broadcast or drop spreader. The inclusion of slow-release nitrogen lowers burn potential compared to quick-release formulas, but following the label application intervals and watering guidance helps protect turf health.

• Set spreader to label-recommended setting for uniform coverage.
• Water lightly after application unless label specifies otherwise.
• Apply in early spring and again in early fall as directed.

Will this fertilizer affect soil phosphorus or pH?

This granular blend contains no phosphate (0% P), so it won’t increase soil phosphorus levels. It supplies soluble potassium (15%) to support root function and stress tolerance. For pH adjustments, perform a soil test and amend separately if needed.

• Phosphate-free formula (0% P) — useful where phosphorus is already sufficient.
• Provides 15% soluble potash for nutrient balance.
• Soil testing recommended for tailored nutrient management.

Who is this for: Homeowners with centipede or compatible lawns who want a straightforward, phosphate-free granular fertilizer to promote steady green-up and maintain turf health across small to medium yards. It’s a practical option for gardeners who prefer scheduled spring and fall feedings and want a low-burn risk product with clear coverage guidance.
