Overview
PGF (Professional Grade Fertilizer) Complete 16-4-8 takes all the research, top products, and necessary nutrients, and combines them into one bag.
Unless a soil test shows that you need a nutrient adjustment, the majority of experts and studies say the same thing: apply a 4-1-2 ratio fertilizer for the best results as a regular maintenance application. PGF Complete 16-4-8 is formulated with that 4-1-2 ratio (16-4-8) and is also high in iron and other micronutrients. The results are fast, and you can expect a rich, green lawn in 6-14 days with proper irrigation or rainfall. In addition to the quick green-up PGF Complete 16-4-8 provides, the product is formulated with a large amount of slow-release nitrogen, which allows for continual feeding for up to 8 weeks. PGF Complete 16-4-8 also contains Humic DG humic acid granules. Humic acid is an organic, carbon-based compound that helps enrich your soil and allows plants to better process nutrients.
All lawns can benefit from PGF Complete 16-4-8. From cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass to warm-season grasses like Bermuda and zoysia, PGF Complete 16-4-8 provides total nutrition to them all.

The spreader settings for this product were established using standard equipment available from the spreader manufacturer at swath widths and speeds typically used within the industry. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Spreader settings are intended as a guide and unit calibration should still be performed to ensure proper application rates. They are not intended to replace calibration. The Andersons recommends the use of broadcast spreader for its products.

Good fertilizer but the price has gone to the moon
i like the brand and have used it for years. Yes, they give you free shipping which is one reason i used them but their fertilizer was in line price wise with other brand. Now a 45# bag which i need for my 11,000 square foot lawn in well over $100 a bag with tax. i think last year it was more like 80 to 85 and maybe i got it one sale from Andersons. I've looked for and have other alternatives which i believe are just as good and at least $30 a bag cheaper. If you fertilize 4 to 6 times in a season, you are looking at a couple hundred dollars difference.

Love this stuff!!
I’ve been using PHF Complete for two years now. I’m in GA and applied this and DGL just before a two day rain. My Bermuda grass was emerald green. Anderson products never disappoint.

I've been using Andersons products since last year, and my St. Augustine grass is doing fantastic. The grass is lush and thick. This new PGF Complete has the humic and the fertilizer in the same bag which not only continues the quality aspect, but it's efficient too. I just put an application down 2 days ago. I anticipate the same sterling success from this product as I've experienced from the rest I've used from Andersons.
