The Andersons Professional PGF Complete 16-4-8 Fertilizer with 7% Humic DG 5,000 sq ft

I read the reviews on this fertilizer and decided to give it a try myself and the results are outstanding. The phosphorus-free formula is ideal for my area, and the fine particle size ensures even, consistent coverage. The particles disperse quickly when watered, delivering nutrients directly into the soil without relying on fragile coatings that can break under mower blades. It combines all the essential nutrients in the ideal ratio that most experts recommend for regular lawn maintenance. It’s also high in iron and micronutrients, which gave my lawn a noticeable green-up in just over a week with regular watering. The slow-release nitrogen provides steady feeding for up to 8 weeks, so I’m not constantly reapplying. Plus, the inclusion of Humic DG—a carbon-based compound—helps enrich the soil and improves nutrient uptake. If you're looking for a professional-grade, easy-to-apply fertilizer that promotes healthy, lush turf with minimal effort, this is it. My lawn has never looked better! I have attached a before and after 1.5 months later. The grass is slowing filling in from when I had all those bare patches.

Very nice product! I was trying to crowd out common bermuda from my hybrid. It didnt work but made for nice lawn anyway

I first started off in my lawn journey a few years back. When I purchased my home, my lawn was 99% weeds and dirt patches. I threw some Home Depot fertilizer and wow green! Then I realized it was all weeds :(. so I bought generic weed spray killer and planted seeds (that grew 5% of what I put down). Some weeds died , some lived over the next couple of years and and then started to come back and kill grass. 3 years later (this year) I put down a pre-emergent for the first time super heavy in the winter. Come around may I got down to about 5% weeds if that. But, the grass was brown, dry, and struggling during the growing season. I was not going to settle for paying for lawn care company when I put my hard work and tons of sweat in the Atlanta heat into it. Bags and bags of seeds, tons of weed killer, milorganite, lime, even paid for a soil test(didn’t come back anything alarming). Something about doing it yourself vs. like trugreen feels so much better when you reach your goal. So I took to YouTube, found Doc’s videos, figured I’d give this product a try. I aerated my lawn (with the manual tool after about an hour of rain, took about an hour it was a workout!). And threw this down at the bag rate. Watered it for a week by hand , and got a week of rain. I could see the grass grow during this period like wildflower, and green up every day. It’s like it activated 3 years of seeds that natural fertilizer/ box store spray fertilizer couldn’t do. So happy 14 days later, I didn’t expect these results. Next I’ll try the humichar like doc said in about a week to improve the soil. I’m ready for my buddies to come over so I can show off my green and tell them the secret sauce. Will be using at LEAST 2-3 times through the warm months to continue to improve lawn. I still have a few patches where I can see grass currently spreading into and turning into a full lawn. My wife will be upset that I’m spending so much time outside taking in my new view! Good luck

Easy to spread and the Bermuda grass responded beautifully!! The added bonus is that the nitrogen level is a little lower, so it seemed to eliminate (or at least reduce) the Bermuda mites that I have been dealing with for the past two seasons. As noted in my title, it is a little expensive. I was happy enough with it to order a second bag. I will use it on my front lawn and use a cheaper brand on the back to keep the cost down. I would recommend this product.

Absolutely incredible product. We went from a “normal” lawn to “wow”. Literally we’ve caught passerby’s looking and “petting” it to see if it’s real. I can’t recommend it any higher! Thank you!

So, I did some dethatching before laying the Andersons fertilizer down and I think it responded very well. I fertilized it on the 14th of June and it’s now July 5. I’ll show an update in 2 more weeks. I tried taking the photo at the same time to eliminate different lighting. I’d recommend this to product to anyone. I gave the left overs to my dad and he loves the look of his grass, too.

Work great it's been three weeks and grass is dark green. It's expensive but you get a good stuff that works.

After applying The Andersons Professional PGF Complete 16-4-8 Fertilizer with 7% Humic DG on my 5,000 sq ft lawn, I've decided to share my experience, highlighting both the strengths and considerations of this product. This review aims to assist fellow gardeners and homeowners in making an informed decision. **Greening Effect:** The product delivers on its promise of a "green up." Within a short period after application, I noticed my lawn becoming more vibrant and lively, a testament to the effectiveness of the fertilizer's composition. The incorporation of Humic DG is a bonus, known for its soil health benefits, making the lawn not just greener but potentially healthier in the long run. **Value for Investment:** While the results in terms of lawn aesthetics are undeniable, I find myself contemplating the cost-benefit ratio of this product. The investment required for The Andersons Professional PGF Complete Fertilizer is not insignificant, especially when considering other products on the market that promise similar outcomes at a lower price point. The decision to opt for this fertilizer was driven by the anticipation of unparalleled results, given its professional-grade claim and the inclusion of Humic DG. **Comparison with Other Products:** In the vast garden care market, there are numerous fertilizers claiming to enhance the greenness and health of your lawn. After using The Andersons Professional PGF Complete, while satisfied with the greening effect, the differential in performance compared to less expensive alternatives is less pronounced than I had hoped. This leads me to question whether the premium paid is justified by the results. **Final Thoughts:** The Andersons Professional PGF Complete 16-4-8 Fertilizer certainly lives up to its promise of enhancing lawn greenness, and the inclusion of Humic DG is a notable benefit for soil health. However, when evaluating its value, the financial investment versus the actual improvement seen becomes a significant factor to consider. For those debating whether to purchase this product, it's crucial to weigh the visible benefits against the cost and to consider how much value you place on the additional soil health advantages provided by Humic DG. While I appreciate the quality and effects of this fertilizer, my quest for the perfect lawn care solution continues, with cost-effectiveness playing a central role in my future choices. **Recommendation:** I give this product a 3 out of 5 stars, recommended for those willing to invest in a premium product for the potential soil health benefits, but with a note of caution to weigh it against other options for sheer value for money.
