[Cincinnati guy]

I'm still new to the whole lawn care thing and still new to the forums. I was wondering if anywhere do we have a list of typical lawn chemicals and fertilizers we would use with their explanations. I was just looking through some threads and am lost because most of the chemicals you guys are discussing I have no idea what they are for...

Maybe one day I'll have the knowledge you all have.

Welcome!

If you haven't already, read through the cool season guide pinned to the top of this forum, there's a ton of great info and links in there.

Here's one link regarding chemical names, acronyms and their uses:

Also if you can expand on any problems you're having in your lawn currently that would allow some of us here to direct you in a direction with particular chemicals as well as fertilizers

for me, i found it alot easier to figure out what specific issues i had an then research what chemicals/fert i needed. personally it got way too confusing and complicated trying to learn all the different chemical's applications when I really only needed 3 or 4 for my specific turf issues.

if you are looking for clarification on which specific ferts to use a soil test would be beneficial. I used Waypoint analytical and they will tell you the exact N-P-K formulation for your fert.
