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

I've used a number of recommended products before (Milorganite, Yard Mastery, Ringer and other store bought ones) but nothing gave me the growth and healthy grass (Bermuda & St. Aug) like Andersons. I used one app of the fert, one of the humic, and then later the green iron fert, and I have one of the lushest and greenest lawns in my HOA. Not the best - still some patches to fill in and leveling needed, but people stop and look regularly. No brown or burning patches like other lawns. The Bermuda grows very fast and goes to seed so I have to stay on top of the mowing more, but the fertilizer has really helped fill in several dead spots and brown patches that have stuck around for a few years now. Weeds are fighting to get in, but the grass is thick and lush, crowding out almost all weeds and other growth. I love this product and the others from Anderson. Great stuff

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.

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

First year changing from Milorganite.....Have already spread over 3 acres once, waiting on my next shipment. This stuff spreads super easy and I am glad they increased the size of bags. We only had one issue and it is when my daughter had her basketball team over, it is good for PGF and bad.....maybe. I decided to use the spreading of fertilizer as conditioning drill, which seemed like a win/win. All the girls did well until it got to KOBI. Kobi started sprinting with the spreader and I was attempting to get her to slow down. By the time I got to her to explain why I needed an even spread on my beautiful lawn, she slipped in a giant St. Bernard turd. Unfortunately she was wearing her basketball shoes for some reason so they got ruined....but that is not the worst part. When she fell she went forward and landed face first in the spreader with all the fertilizer. Which would not have been a problem but Kobi is the most out of shape person on the team and when she began sprinting with the spreader she immediately broke out in a sweat. The PGF fertilizer stuck to her face and when she looked up it looked like a young version of the bearded lady from the carnival. After I quit laughing, I attempted to help her wash off her face. Well actually I asked her to pick up all the fertilizer she spilled first because this stuff is not cheap. Then we washed off her face but she screamed and screamed. I thought it was because of her prepubescent acne face. However, I now believe it was because PGF started to work instantly, with the moisture on her face. That was late February and her mother just called me in April and stated her daughter is growing a full beard and mustache. It was unfortunate because we had a basketball tournament and they would not let her play because they did not believe she was a girl. The hair on her face is thick and rich, which makes me think this is a great product. But you might want to keep it away from the Kobi's of the world.

And I look at my yard with lots of splurge, nutsedge, ants and army worms and not very green and asked myself, “Why am I paying a national company almost $750 a year?” So I found”How to by Doc” on google search and started watching his videos. I decide to order a bag of PGF Complete. I borrow my neighbor’s spreader on put it on 2.5 and wow an 18 lb bag was gone quickly. I watered it and then it rained a few days afterward and I noticed slowly but surely both the color and quality of my yard was changing. The backyard where I did not apply still looked the same. After one week and positive results, I ordered a 40 lb bag of Humic acid and two more bags of PGF Complete along with duocide (insecticide). I have been mowing my lawn every 4 days at one notch higher than what I used to mow it. First mow after putting fertilizer out I mulched instead of bag. I put out last night two bags of PGF complete, insecticide and Humic acid covering my entire lawn. I put Humic on 5 on Scott’s lawn spreader and threw handfuls at my shrubs just like Doc does in his video. The first four pictures below where what my yard looked like two weeks ago, August 23, 2019. The last four pictures are today, September 6, 2019. Doc makes this simple. The products he endorses work. I love the fact that I didn’t have to worry about fertilizer burn. If you are going to order this, then I would order two bags because one was not enough. We live in Alabama where it has been upper 90’s most the past two weeks.

Excellent product

Brings lush green look to your lawn. its been my second purchase . Highly recommended. one application is good for 5 to 6 months. its highly effective and easy to apply. hand spread or use a shaker.

This product is wow! I have a new lawn, as in it was installed in Nov 2018. The Houston Spring/Summer has been record dry and hot this year so my lawn needed help. I was watering my lawn, applying Humic DG (for the soil) and Scotts turf builder for new lawns and even 10-10-10 fertilizer. But it just wasn't looking as it should. It was filledin but not thick. And some spots looked stressed. Then I was told PGF Complete. So I bought a bag in July and put it down. After about a 3-4 days I saw a noticeable darker green shade of the lawn. And within 2 weeks there were thick patches all over. (The patches I assume were from uneven distribution of the PGF when we applied it). FFwd to 4-5 weeks later and my lawn is thicker and healthier looking overall. The one down side to this product is that you go from cutting your lawn every 2 weeks to at least once a week. We're garden people, so that's fine for us, but just be warned. This thing really works, so be prepared to cut your lawn more frequently. UPDATE It’s been about 2 years since my last review and I continue to use PGF Complete and other Andersons products (10-10-10, Humic DG, Duocide, Barricade) with complete success. I’ve uploaded pics of my lawn where you can clearly see the difference between what my lawn looks like vs my neighbours. These pics were taken after a full week of rain and it just looks lush. I have gotten lots of compliments and questions, and I refer everyone to the Andersons store on Amazon. Yes they’re a little pricey, but when you consider one of their products/treatments is probably equal to 2 or 3 treatments from other cheaper products, well it works to be very cost effective. 2023 Update SIX STARS! It’s been a couple years since the last update and I’ve spent the last 9+ months focussing on the backyard. Voilá! Not surprised by the results. This, along with other Andersons products (humic, preemergent, etc), has the yard looking top notch. The last photos/vid were from last weekend, very much ready for the Memorial Day festivities. Many think it’s fake until they walk on it. It took lots of pampering to get it to this point but using Andersons products made the task easier.
