The Feast
Unlike LESCO fertilizers, many ordinary fertilizers break down too quickly, releasing an overabundance of nutrients that result in a surge of growth and plant weakness. During the feast, plants are more susceptible to disease, and in hot humid weather, turf will appear “burned”. Besides damaging the turf, plants that are overfed require more frequent mowing.

The Famine
Famine occurs when nutrients are withheld or unavailable. The starved turf becomes weak and the color is poor. However, by the time turf color fades, the plant structure has already been damaged from lack of nutrients.

The LESCO Fertilizer Zone
That’s why LESCO has spent the last forty-plus years developing fertilizers that feed on a slow, continual basis. With LESCO, there’s no feast or famine; turf is greener, healthier and more vigorous all season long, year after year.
