Slow release pellet (16-16-16 works great in Utah because of the heavy clay soil and sandy soil). If you have loamy soil, use the common fertilizer at any gardening center (it is high is salt). The frequency of application is also based on preference, but the recommended number is four times per year. The pellets should be placed where the water will seep it into the ground for the roots to absorb and should, therefore, be distributed in a fashion that will most easily allow for that to happen. Depending on your landscape style, add the pellets to where the water will help the ground absorb the pellets. Then water with a hose so the pellets can start to dissolve.
