where can I find 12-4-8 or 16-4-8 fertilizer
A 100 pound bag of 16-4-8 contains 16 pounds of nitrogen, 4 pounds of phosphorus and 8 pounds of potassium. The rest if filler and minor elements. Even though it may cost more, a fertilizer containing slow release nitrogen is more efficient and cost effective in our sandy soils.ounding this number to six, you would apply six pounds of 16-4-8 fertilizer per 1000 square feet of lawn area. Using 12-4-8 fertilizer, you would apply eight pounds per 1000 square feet.
