Product Technology

Six proven formulation technologies that make Ferti-lome the trusted choice for Florida homeowners — engineered for the challenges of tropical lawns and gardens.

Slow-Release Fertilizer Formulas

Extended feeding

Time-released nutrients feed your lawn and garden steadily over weeks, preventing burn and reducing the need for frequent reapplication in Florida’s heat.

Systemic Insect Control

Inside-out protection

Absorbed through roots and foliage, systemic formulas protect plants from the inside out against aphids, whiteflies, and other common SW Florida pests.

Weed Prevention Technology

Pre & post-emergent

Pre-emergent and post-emergent formulas tackle crabgrass, dollarweed, and other Florida weeds before they take hold or after they appear in your lawn.

Liquid Feeding Systems

Fast-acting nutrients

Ready-to-spray and hose-end liquid fertilizers deliver fast-acting nutrients directly to roots and foliage for rapid green-up and bloom production.

Root Stimulator Technology

Reduces transplant shock

Specialized 4-10-3 formula reduces transplant shock and promotes stronger, more extensive root systems for everything you plant in Southwest Florida’s sandy soils.

OMRI-Listed Organic Options

Safe & organic

The ferti-lome green label line offers OMRI-listed organic products safe for use around families and pets, without sacrificing effectiveness on Florida lawns and gardens.

Year-Round Lawn Care Calendar for SW Florida

Spring (March – May)

Fertilize: Apply Ferti-lome Lawn Food as temperatures rise and grass breaks dormancy. This is the key feeding window for St. Augustine and Bermuda grass.
Pre-Emergent: Apply crabgrass preventer before soil temps reach 65°F. Ferti-lome's Weed-Free Zone controls broadleaf weeds already present.
Insect Control: Start watching for chinch bugs as warm weather arrives. Apply systemic insect control preventively.

Summer (June – August)

Fertilize: Use slow-release formulas to feed through heavy rain without burning. Ferti-lome's slow-release technology is ideal for Florida summers.
Pest Control: Peak season for chinch bugs, sod webworms, and fire ants. Apply Ferti-lome insect control products as needed.
Fungicide: Afternoon storms create prime conditions for brown patch and gray leaf spot. Treat preventively with Ferti-lome fungicides.

Fall (September – November)

Fertilize: Apply a winterizer formula to prepare grass for cooler months and build root reserves.
Weed Control: Treat lingering summer weeds and apply pre-emergent for winter annuals like chickweed and henbit.
Soil Amendment: Test and amend soil pH with Ferti-lome Fast-Acting Lime or Gypsum to improve nutrient uptake.

Winter (December – February)

Minimal Feeding: Warm-season grasses slow down — avoid heavy nitrogen applications. Light feeding if grass is still green.
Garden Planning: Perfect time to plant cool-season vegetables using Ferti-lome Root Stimulator at transplant.
Prepare: Plan your spring fertilizer and weed prevention schedule. Stock up at Family Hardware for the busy spring season.
