Five Step Program: Step Two

24 5 10 25% (Red Updated 5 19 2022)(website)

Basin’s Best 24-5-10 is a premium-grade fertilizer engineered to carry your plants through the peak of the growing season. Featuring a high-performance blend of 24% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphorus, and 10% Potassium, this formula focuses on immediate visual impact and long-term structural health. This blend is fortified with 3% iron to keep your plants a deep green and prevent summer yellowing (Chlorosis).

What sets this blend apart is the integration of XRT (Extended Release Technology). While standard fertilizers can cause a “flush” of growth followed by a crash, 6% of our nitrogen is polymer-coated to provide a steady, controlled feed. This ensures your lawn and garden stay lush and green throughout the heat of summer without the risk of nitrogen burn or nutrient leaching.

Key Benefits

  • Summer Resilience: The 10% Potassium (Potash) content acts as a cellular strengthener, helping plants regulate water more efficiently and resist drought stress.
  • Controlled Vitality: XRT nitrogen provides a consistent nutrient supply for up to 90 days, promoting steady growth rather than overwhelming the plant.
  • Deep Root Foundations: A targeted 5% Phosphorus boost encourages the robust root architecture necessary to survive the high-evaporation months.
  • Photosynthetic Boost: High nitrogen levels and extra iron ensure deep, emerald-green foliage by maximizing chlorophyll production.

We recommend applying Step 2 to your lawn between May 1st – May 15th before temperatures climb into the summer range and heat stress sets in.
