Early Spring Weed and Feed 9-0-0
Corn Gluten Meal (CGM) is a natural broad-leaf pre-emergent that helps prevent weeds from establishing in the spring. CGM is rich in Slow Release Nitrogen which helps promote thicker lawns and lasting turf color. CGM from Suståne is NON-GMO, granulated, and screened, allowing for easy and consistent application.

Apply before germination of weed seeds. A short drying period following germination helps kill the weeds before they form roots. If it does not rain for 5 days after application, water with approximately 0.25” of water and then allow the soil to dry for a period following germination. For improved weed prevention apply at a rate of 20 pounds per 1,000 ft².

Late Summer Turf Starter and Overseeder 4-6-4
Our Turf Starter is specifically formulated to be applied directly with grass seed. Sowing additional applications of grass seed to an existing lawn is one of the best ways to promote a thick lawn free of weeds, without the use of chemicals. Suståne 4-6-4 combines high-quality compost with organic phosphorus from composted turkey litter to provide the unique conditions that grass needs in order to establish. The composting process fully stabilizes the fertilizer, making it safe so it will not burn the grass seed. This allows the nutrients and beneficial biology to be applied directly where the seedling needs it.

Apply anytime new grass seed is being established. Grass establishes best during the cool, wet weather in the spring and fall. 30 pounds covers up to 5,000 ft² For overseeding, mix 6 pounds of Suståne Turf Starter with enough grass seed to cover 1,000 ft² (2.9 kg of Suståne with enough grass seed for 100 m²). Apply 10 pounds per 1,000 ft² if grass clippings are removed or if the turf is heavily used or intensively managed.

Description:

Suståne 5-2-4+Fe is the original Suståne formula first created in 1988. As this was the first Suståne product available on the market, it soon became the standard organic evaluated by numerous universities. Michigan State University, Cornell, University of Rhode Island were three of the first research facilities to discover that Suståne 5-2-4+Fe was highly suppressive of common diseases affecting cool-season grasses including root Pythium, Necrotic Ring Spot, Red Thread and to a lesser extent various patch diseases. More organic fertilizer studies have been run utilizing Suståne 5-2-4+Fe as the standard against which all other “organics” are compared.

Recommended Use:

Suståne 5-2-4+Fe is the all-purpose turf food and is available in either Medium Grade (lawn and fairway applications) or Fine Grade for putting greens. Suitable for use on all turfgrass types providing quick green up followed by long-lasting slow-release organic nitrogen. Use where even growth and color are needed for six to eight weeks.

Enhanced Disease Suppression:

• Begins with Suståne Natural Based Fertilizers
• Results of studies conducted over the past 20 years have clearly shown the potential for compost amendments to reduce the severity and incidence of a wide variety of turfgrass diseases.
• For best results in disease, suppression apply either as a topdressing after core aerification, as a late autumn-winter cover, mixed as a root zone amendment or better yet use as the standard fertilizer treatment three to four applications per growing season. Studies have shown that applying Suståne 5-2-4 plus Iron results in a significant decrease in many turfgrass diseases.
• The numbers below represent the percent decrease in the severity of turfgrass diseases.

• Product Page Grid Blurb: Ideal 1:2 N to K organic-based fertilizer for summer and early autumn feeding.
• Product Grade:

Granulated professional turfgrass and landscape fertilizer.

Description:

Suståne 5-2-10+Fe combines Suståne organic compost base with iron sulfate organically chelated during the active aerobic composting phase providing for slow-release iron for enhanced chlorophyll production and turf color without excessive top growth. This is the ideal 1:2 N to K organic-based fertilizer for summer and early autumn feeding.

Additional potassium is supplied for sandy soils and USGA type putting greens where potash is often lost through leaching.

Recommended Use:

Sustane 5-2-10+Fe is the all-purpose turf food when the 1:2 N to K ratio is desired for building carbohydrate reserves in the root system. It is available in either Medium Grade (lawn and fairway applications) or Fine Grade for putting greens. Suitable for use on all turfgrass types providing quick green up followed by long-lasting slow-release organic nitrogen. Use where even growth and color are needed for six to eight weeks and potassium reserves need to be increased.

High Potassium to Nitrogen with Organic:

For use on sandy soils and fast-draining putting greens and high wear areas like driving ranges and tee boxes, Suståne 5-2-10+Fe is the first high-K organic product on the turf market. Many other organic fertilizer manufacturers have tried to emulate the Suståne formula over the years. None have produced a product comparable and so complete as Suståne 5-2-10+Fe. Naturally occurring sulfate of potash (potassium sulfate) from the Great Salt Lake in Utah is the only source of potash utilized in Suståne Natural Fertilizers that supplement the naturally occurring organic potash derived from the Suståne compost base.

The organically chelated iron source will not burn or blacken turfgrass. Rich in trace minerals and humic substances, Sustane 5-2-10+Fe is perfectly suited to amending low potash soils during periods of summer stress.
