Yard Fertilizer

Yes. Yard Fertilizer is a balanced liquid formulated for the whole landscape, and at the recommended dilution it suits lawn grass, shrubs, hedges, flower beds, ground cover, trees, vegetable beds and container plants alike. One mix in a hose-end sprayer covers all of it in a single pass. Plants with particular needs, such as acid-lovers, orchids and heavy fruiters, do better on a dedicated formula, and TPS makes those separately; for everything else in the yard, one feed keeps the routine simple.

A hose-end sprayer set to the recommended rate is the easiest way: attach it, walk your lawn in overlapping passes, and the sprayer dilutes Yard Fertilizer as you go. For small patches or repairs, a watering can works fine. Apply in the morning or evening rather than in the heat of the day, and water in lightly afterward so the nutrients move down to the roots. Because it’s a liquid, coverage is even and your grass can take it up straight away.

A hose-end sprayer set to the recommended rate. It covers lawn, beds, shrubs and trees in one pass while you water, so the whole yard is fed without a separate routine for each area. For containers, small beds and spots the hose doesn’t reach, mix Yard Fertilizer in a watering can at the same dilution. Either way, apply in the morning or evening and water in lightly, and the liquid is available to the roots right away.

Yes, once it has been watered in and your grass is dry. Yard Fertilizer contains nutrients only, with no herbicides or pesticides, so there’s nothing beyond plant food going onto your lawn. Apply in the morning or evening, water it in lightly, and let your turf dry before letting children and pets back onto it. The same applies to beds and borders.

Yard Fertilizer is a dilute liquid feed, and dilution is what matters here. Fertilizer burn on a lawn happens when concentrated salts sit against the roots: too strong a mix, or granules spread unevenly so some patches get a heavy dose, which is where streaks and burn spots come from. Applied through a hose-end sprayer at the recommended rate and watered in lightly, the nutrients arrive in solution at a strength your grass takes up as it waters. Skip application in extreme heat, when turf is already stressed.

Most lawns green up within one to two weeks of the first feeding, since Yard Fertilizer is a liquid your grass can take up as soon as it’s watered in. Thickening takes longer and builds over a few applications, as your turf puts on new growth and fills in. Shrubs, trees and beds fed on the same schedule show the response in their new growth over the following weeks.
