Not all lawn fertilisers are created equal. The numbers on the bag matter - they tell you exactly what your lawn is getting. Here's how Nitro 24 compares to some of the most popular consumer fertilisers on the UK market.
What Do the Numbers Mean?
Every fertiliser has an NPK ratio - that's Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). Each does a different job.
Nitrogen drives green growth and colour. Phosphorus supports root development. Potassium builds resilience against drought, disease, and wear.
How Nitro 24 Compares to the UK's Top Fertilisers
| Nitro 24 | Lawnsmith | Lawn Pack | Miracle-Gro | Westland | |
| Nitrogen | 24% | 22% | 18% | 14% | 10% |
| Phosphorus | 5% | 0% | 4% | 0% | 2% |
| Potassium | 12% | 6% | 5% | 5% | 2% |
Why Nitrogen Matters Most in Spring
Spring is when your lawn wakes up and starts growing. Nitrogen is the fuel for that growth - it's what turns a tired, yellowing lawn green. The more nitrogen per application, the stronger and faster that green-up.
At 24%, Nitro 24 delivers more nitrogen than any other consumer lawn fertiliser available in the UK - including specialist brands like Lawnsmith (22%) and Lawn Pack (18%). The mainstream options from Miracle-Gro and Westland don't come close.
It's Not Just About Nitrogen
Nitro 24 also includes 5% phosphorus for root strength, 12% potassium for disease resistance, plus added magnesium (3% MgO) and calcium (2% CaO).
Most competitors either skip phosphorus entirely or offer minimal potassium. Lawnsmith, for example, has zero phosphorus and half the potassium.
This isn't a one-trick formula. It's a complete feed designed to build a lawn that looks good and stays healthy.
Slow Release, Not a Quick Fix
Nitro 24 uses a 3-month slow-release formula. One application in spring feeds your lawn for 12 weeks - no repeat applications, no risk of burning.
Many cheaper fertilisers release quickly, giving a short burst of colour that fades within weeks.
No Watering In Required
Unlike many granular fertilisers, Nitro 24 doesn't need watering in after application. Apply it, and the slow-release granules do the rest.
Safe for Pets and Families
Nitro 24 is safe for children and pets once absorbed. No need to keep the family off the lawn.
