I know absolutely nothing about your fertilizer, but here in the US they
are
rated by content. 10-10-10 means that it contains 10 percent of nitrogen
for the development of greens and leaves. I have forgotten what the
second
two are for exactly, but one is for the roots and the other is for setting
fruit.

SNIP

The other 2 are Phosphorous, and Potassium.
All up it's known as N:P:K

(N)itrogenP)hosphorous:Potassium........ Potassium though is knon as K
Phosphorous for root growth, and Potassium for flowering.
e.g
To get most plant going real well, add a fertiliser with the 3rd number
being the highest just as flowering starts, or just before. The rest of the
year try for the first 2 numbers higher. That's just generally.
For new lawns, first 2 numbers high, last number virtually nothing. For
established lawns, probably try get one with the first number highest, 2nd
in the middle, and 3rd next to nothing.
