The Andersons Professional PGF 16-0-8 Granular Lawn Fertilizer 18 lb — Phosphorus-Free, Humic DG for Fast and Extended Nitrogen Fe

The Andersons Professional PGF 16-0-8 is an 18 lb phosphorus-free granular lawn fertilizer with humic DG for immediate and extended nitrogen feeding.

This balanced, professional-grade formula delivers both quick- and slow-release nitrogen alongside iron, micronutrients, and Humic DG to support turf color and steady growth without added phosphorus. Designed for precision application, the super-fine particle size increases coverage and uniformity on turf, while the combination of nutrient sources helps feed lawns for up to eight weeks under typical conditions. Note: not for sale in CA or OR.

How does this fertilizer feed my lawn right away and over time?

The PGF 16-0-8 blend uses a mix of readily available nitrogen for fast green-up and coated or slow-release forms to sustain nutrient availability. This two-tier delivery gives turf an early boost without sacrificing longer-term feeding, reducing the need for immediate reapplication.

• Quick-release nitrogen for prompt color response
• Slow-release fractions providing up to eight weeks of residual feeding
• Even particle distribution for consistent nutrient contact with soil

Why choose a phosphorus-free 16-0-8 formulation?

A 16-0-8 analysis supplies nitrogen and potassium while omitting phosphorus, aligning with many turf management programs and local regulations where phosphorus use is limited. This makes it suitable for established lawns that primarily need N and K without added P.

• Supports established turf needing nitrogen and potassium
• Complies with phosphorus-restricted areas (verify local rules)
• Reduces risk of unnecessary phosphorus buildup in soil

What role does Humic DG and the included micronutrients play?

Humic DG is a granular humic material that can improve nutrient availability and soil interaction, while added iron and micronutrients help maintain color and physiological function. Together they contribute to a more complete nutrition package beyond primary N and K.

• Humic DG enhances soil-nutrient dynamics
• Iron helps maintain darker green turf appearance
• Micronutrients support overall turf health and recovery

How does the super-fine particle size affect application and performance?

Smaller, super-fine particles increase particle count per pound and improve spreader uniformity, which reduces streaking and blackout rings. More particles per square foot mean closer spacing on the turf surface so each area receives a consistent nutrient dose.

• Twice the number of particles per square foot compared with larger granules
• Improved evenness when applied with standard broadcast or drop spreaders
• Better seedbed contact for quicker nutrient uptake

Who is this for? The Andersons Professional PGF 16-0-8 (18 lb) is made for landscapers, turf managers, and homeowners maintaining established lawns who want a phosphorus-free, professional-strength granular fertilizer with both quick and extended nitrogen release. It’s ideal when you need reliable coverage from a fine-particle product that also supplies iron, micronutrients, and humic DG for broader soil and turf support. Remember to follow local regulations and label directions for best results.
