Question 1

What do the three numbers mean on fertilizer bags?

Accepted Answer

They represent Nitrogen (N) for top growth and color, Phosphorus (P) for root development, and Potassium (K) for hardiness and disease resistance.

Question 2

Are professional fertilizers different from store-bought?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Professional products use slow-release coatings (like PolyPlus OPTI45) that release nutrients evenly and reduce burn risk. Cheaper blends dump nitrogen quickly, causing flushes of growth and shallow roots.

Question 3

Why are some materials restricted to professionals?

Accepted Answer

Products like Prosecutor Pro, Quin-Way, and Roundup QuikPro SC require state licensing. They’re powerful, targeted tools that solve specific issues safely when applied by trained technicians - another reason to hire Bull God for complex weed or vegetation control.

Question 4

Is fertilizer dangerous for the environment?

Accepted Answer

Not when used properly. We avoid over-application, follow label rates, and we are aware of where fertilizer may end up after heavy rain. Professional timing and calibration protect local waterways and wetlands.
