Q: Is this starter fertilizer meant for horse pastures? There is no information on the bag whether this is good for horse grazing pastures. I called Tracktor Supply and they said this was not meant for horse grazing.

a month ago
1 Answer
  • A: Yes, this starter fertilizer is ideal for new pastures. While it is generally safe for horses to remain on the property, it is recommended to keep them off the pasture until the fertilizer has been thoroughly watered in or after the first rain.

I put down three bags of this fertilizer on our property to get grass growing and it seems to be working great. I'd highly recommend this fertilizer.

Great quality!

Picked up this fertilizer from Tractor Supply and I’m seriously impressed. My lawn/garden greened up fast, the plants look healthier, and it was easy to spread. Great quality for the price, and you can really see the difference after just a short time. Definitely one of the better fertilizers I’ve used — will be buying again!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Good product

19 days ago
Groundworks starter fertilizer worked very well. I had a building project at my home last year and needed to get grass growing on all the bare loam. Took a while for it to come up (due to low temps) but it looks like the Hills of Ireland right now! Nice thick, dark green, grass. They only criticism is the product could use more bright colored granules to see where it's covering. Otherwise all good. Would buy again.
