Mid-Summer Color, Strength, and Density — Step 3 of the Shaw's 4-Step Lawn Program.
Shaw's 24-0-5 with 2% Iron is Step 3 in the Shaw's 4-Step Lawn Program — designed specifically for the critical mid-season window when heat stress, drought, and high traffic can push turf toward thinning, fading, and vulnerability. This is the nitrogen + iron feeding that keeps your lawn deep green, dense, and resilient through the hardest weeks of the year.
The 2% chelated iron is the defining feature of this formula. Iron is a micronutrient that directly intensifies chlorophyll production, creating a deep, rich green color that nitrogen alone cannot achieve — without pushing aggressive top growth or increasing mowing frequency. Combined with 24% nitrogen and 5% potassium, the 24-0-5 analysis provides strong overall turf nutrition while the 30% SurfCote coating ensures nitrogen is delivered gradually and consistently for extended color and density.
Potassium at 5% provides turf with the cell strength and osmotic regulation it needs to tolerate heat, drought, and the physical stresses of summer use. As Step 3 in the 4-Step program, this product builds on the foundation established by Steps 1 and 2, carrying the lawn through summer with confidence.
