Look at the bag? Lol i have no idea

Its easy, first when you get a bag of fertilizer you will see what the ratio of n-p-k is, for instance i put down my winterizer today and it was a 18-3-8. Now on the front of the bag or back of the back it has the contents of what the bag is made up of. Kind of like when you get a bag of doritios or what not and it shows whats all in it. Well under the breakdown of what makes up the bag it shows the percent of slow release nitrogen. The bag i had was 7.3 percent nitrogen. Now going back to my bag the 18-3-8, what this ratio is showing is that in a 100lb bag of fertilizer there is 18lbs of nitrogen 3lb phos and 8lbs potassium. What you do then is take the 7.3 percent of slow release and divide that by the the nitrogen analysis which is 18, and make that into decimal form as .18. Then just do the math .073 divided by .18 and that will give you how much slow release makes up that bag.
