Can I combine granular and liquid fertilizer?

Yes, it's common: granular as the seasonal base and liquid for one-off adjustments, without exceeding the total dose.

Does the premium mini-granulated fertilizer work for lawns?

It's designed for vegetable gardens and fruit trees; for lawns the specific fertilizer with the right nitrogen ratio is better.

Granular NPK Fertilizers: Gradual Release for Garden, Vegetable Patch and Lawn

Q: How long does the effect of a technological granular fertilizer last?

It's measured in weeks or months depending on the product; the lawn one keeps the green color for about 4 months per application.

Quick answer: a technological granular NPK fertilizer releases its nutrients gradually over weeks or months, unlike a liquid fertilizer, which acts much faster but lasts less time. It's the convenient option if you don't want to feed every week: it's applied once to the soil or substrate and keeps feeding the plant throughout the whole season.

Which granular fertilizer to choose

Product	Ideal for	Highlight
Blue Technological Universal Fertilizer	All types of plants and crops, general use	The classic blue granular fertilizer, in a gradual-release technological version (Duramón)
Technological Universal Premium Fertilizer	Demanding plants, vegetable gardens and fruit trees	Mini-granules with micronutrients and amino acids that reach where other granular fertilizers don't
Technological Lawn Fertilizer	Any type of lawn	High in nitrogen; uniform green color for about 4 months with just 3 applications a year

Why choose granular over liquid

Fewer applications: a single application covers weeks or months, compared to weekly watering with a liquid.
Lower risk of a one-off overdose: gradual release avoids concentration spikes in the substrate.
Ideal for large areas: lawns, flower beds or vegetable gardens where watering plant by plant with a liquid isn't practical.

How to choose between the three

General use in the garden or in various pots: Blue Universal.
Vegetable garden, fruit trees or more demanding plants: Universal Premium, for its extra boost of amino acids and micronutrients.
Lawn: the specific lawn fertilizer, formulated for that particular use rather than a generic granular fertilizer.
