Granular fertilizers are much cheaper than liquid fertilizers. Granular fertilizers are chemically formulated which makes them slow to dissolve and makes them last much longer than a liquid fertilizer. Each granule contains different-different nutrient value while a liquid fertilizer each drop contain the same amount of nutrition. On the other hand, liquid fertilizer is very easy to carry and spread. A granular fertilizer comes in a plastic bag and needs some costly spreader machine to throw in the lawn. Liquid fertilizer is costly than a granular fertilizer but very convenient to use and very quick to absorb by the plant. Granular fertilizer contains a higher concentration of salt and using it in a large quantity may burn the plant roots. This is not the case in liquid-based fertilizer.
