Osmocote
While Osmocote is not specifically made for lawn fertilizer, would it be OK to spot fertilize new plantings of grass in small areas prior to planting of the grass seed?

Using Osmocote in bare areas of your lawn will not harm the grass but lawn fertilizers need to be much higher in nitrogen to encourage blades of grass to grow. Osmocote is formulated to nourish edibles and ornamental plants but not lawns. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
