I’ve recently started to address some problems in my lawn and kept seeing 3 numbers on many products. I’ve come to learn these to stand for how much N, P & K are in the product. But would someone help break this down for a newbie please? What time of year is N more important or P or K? And do the numbers matter or is it the ratio? Is 10-6-4 the same as 5-3-2, or if I apply 5-3-2 at twice the rate would that equal 10-6-4? Sometimes I see Very small numbers like 0-4-2 and other times I see large numbers like 60-2-0. What’s the significance of these numbers. And again, what time of year should I be focusing on applying these different fertilizers to the lawn?
