The Anderson's Fertilizer 24-0-8
The Anderson's Fertilizer 24-0-8 is a uniquely crafted slow-release fertilizer that promotes deep greening and strong turf growth on both cool- and warm-season grasses, with Fortify-N technology to reduce nitrogen loss.
04/14/26
The Anderson's Fertilizer 24-0-8, manufactured by The Anderson's, is a specially formulated granular fertilizer that provides a balanced supply of essential nutrients that not only keep turf green but also resilient against stress, pests, and foot traffic.
With 24% nitrogen for strong growth and color, 8% potassium for stress resistance, and zero phosphorus (ideal in phosphorus-restricted areas), this product helps turf thrive in virtually any condition. Many regions now regulate phosphorus use because of its impact on waterways. This fertilizer is phosphorus-free, making it safe and compliant while still giving turf everything it needs.
The Anderson's Fertilizer 24-0-8 is a professional-grade slow-release granule fertilizer that delivers results that are visible and lasting in warm-seasoned and cool-seasoned turf. It also contains Fortify-N, a nitrogen stabilizer with a urease inhibitor to reduce nitrogen loss through ammonia volatilization, plus iron to enhance turf color and overall lawn appearance.
Tools Needed
You will need a push spreader or broadcast spreader to make applications.

| Keith's Pro Tip | "Aeration helps fertilizers work more effectively by relieving soil compaction, which improves the movement of air, water, and nutrients down to the root zone. By creating open channels in the soil, aeration allows fertilizers to penetrate deeper, enhances nutrient absorption, and promotes healthier, stronger root growth, resulting in a more efficient and impactful feeding." |
