Well, let's say you've been fertilizing a lot over the last few years, & your lawn looks pretty good. What does it really need? It needs however much N, P, & K that you take away from it. If you water the dickens out of it, make it grow & grow & grow, & mow & bag & haul all the clippings away, then it will need a lot of N, P, & K added. If you just mow it nice, & use a mulcher, not a bagger, all the most of the N, all of the P & K will be returned to the ground, for it to use over again. So, with proper management, you don't really need to add much of anything. Maybe a little compose to help the N, but not much. In the grand scheme of things, fertilizer without any herbicide in it is just N, P, & K. Just like the mulch. It won't hurt anyone - it has a bit of a salt carrier. Salt doesn't hurt mammals. I can understand some concern over herbicide use, but straight fertilizer is the same, from a cow, from rotten lawn clippings, or from pellets from a factory. One isn't any better or worse than the other for human contact. Just some thoughts. --->Paul
