The Benefits of Fertigation

If you're tired of the cycle of overfeeding and underfeeding your lawn, Fertigator Fertilizer Systems might be the solution you've been looking for. This innovative system combines irrigation and fertilization into one streamlined process, delivering small, consistent amounts of nutrients every time your sprinkler system runs. Known as "fertigation," this method is a proven winner in agriculture and is now making its way into residential and commercial landscaping.

What is a Fertigator Fertilizer System?

Fertigator is a brand of automatic fertigation systems that connect directly to your in-ground sprinkler system. Every time your irrigation runs, a measured amount of fertilizer is injected into the water and delivered to your lawn and landscape. Think of it as “spoon-feeding” your lawn—giving it exactly what it needs, when it needs it.

Unlike traditional fertilizer methods that rely on monthly applications, which often lead to overfeeding followed by periods of nutrient deprivation, fertigation keeps your lawn consistently nourished. The result? Healthier, greener grass and less effort on your part.

Key Benefits of Fertigator Systems

Here’s why more homeowners and landscapers are switching to Fertigator systems:

• Consistent Nutrition: Fertilizer is applied in small amounts with every watering, promoting steady, healthy plant growth.
• Reduced Chemical Usage: Because nutrients are delivered gradually, there’s no need for the heavy chemical doses often used with traditional fertilizers.
• Low Maintenance: Aside from refilling the fertilizer tank, the system is largely self-sufficient. No scheduling, spreading, or guesswork involved.
• Eco-Friendly: Fertigator systems use organic-based fertilizers that include natural weed-repelling ingredients, reducing the need for separate herbicides.
• Efficient and Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for slow-release fertilizers and reduces the risk of over-application, saving time and money in the long run.

Why Fertigator Beats Traditional Fertilizing

Traditional lawn fertilization is a feast-or-famine approach. Your lawn gets a surge of nutrients right after treatment, then goes hungry until the next application. Not only is this stressful for your grass, but it also increases the chances of fertilizer runoff and environmental harm.

Fertigator systems, on the other hand, deliver a steady, manageable dose of nutrients that are easier for plants to absorb. The result is a healthier, more resilient lawn with fewer weeds and fewer disease problems.

Where to Get Fertigator Fertilizer Systems

Fertigator products are available through more than 500 wholesale distributors and can also be ordered online. The system can be professionally installed by a contractor or set up by DIY homeowners—no advanced skills required.
