Using Nu-Gro ProTurf Fertilizer (25-3-10) on Lawn Grass -- Is it ok?

Hi. I found a product at the Garden store that was an incredible bargin. The product is fertilizer with the values 25-3-10 (for Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potasium). I was going ot go with Scotts but they are too expensive. I notice the Potasium in this product is a little higher than normal which is good for protecting against drought and disease (e.g. in hot summers and Fall/Winter). Here is a PDF of this products tech specs straight from the manufacturers website: http://www.nu-groturf.com/specsheets/ProTurf/english/SPEC_4838501_E.pdf Can someone tell me is this good to use on my grass lawn. And even MORE iMPORTANTLY can someone tell me what value i should set my rotary spreader for fertilizing my lawn (my spreader only has values from 1-10 which is standard for most spreaders but noticed this product didnt mention what value). Thanks

1. This question has gone a week without an answer. Lucky you! Sounds like you found a bargain. This sounds like an excellent mix for your lawn. Lawn feeds are generally high in nitrogen content and it is the nitrogen that quickly greens up a lawn. I would be inclined to spread this product at a 3 or 4 setting. Too much nitrogen will burn your lawn. It is better to give the lawn 2 or three applications over the growing season rather than one big shot. Good luck with your lawn.
