Organic lawn care can produce a lush, green lawn for your home, campus, or business. Now more than ever, homeowners and property managers are concerned about the type of materials used, such as lawn fertilizer, but want to make sure “going green” doesn’t sacrifice the greenness of a lush landscape.
Organic lawn care is a win-win situation for the lawn itself. Because their care methods focus on addressing the root problem rather than quick chemical fixes, organically managed lawns tend to be healthier, greener, and lusher than conventional lawns.
Their care is based on 1 building the soil that feeds your lawn using some basic horticultural techniques that are beneficial to turf plants, and 2 tackling weed and pest problems without toxic chemicals. Organic lawn care may sound like a challenge, but it’s no more challenging than, say, watering your lawn with a garden hose. You have to be persistent to avoid problems, but we are completely confident that you can solve your lawn care problems using organic methods. Organic lawn care is easy. You can have a beautiful and healthy lawn without using chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. You’ll love knowing that your organic lawn is safe for kids, pets, and the environment. You’ll also love not having to spend hours each week caring for him.
A natural grass is harder, more resistant to drought and healthier than a grass treated with chemical fertilizers and herbicides. By adopting a few simple practices, you can grow a beautiful green, organic lawn while helping the environment in the process. Going ‘green’ and using organic products for fertilizing and pest control creates a healthier environment for everyone who enjoys your garden space. You, guests, pets and especially your children will be healthier from not having constant contact with potentially harmful chemicals and poisons applied to your organic lawn.
Managed organically, the lawn can be more than just a green carpet and can contribute to the biodiversity and overall richness of the garden ecosystem. Natural Organic Feed Organic Lawn Care promotes root expansion and carbohydrate storage to improve winter hardiness in your garden. Turf density is improved while maintaining excellent fall color and moderate shoot growth.
Not just limited to summer, it’s important to continue your lawn maintenance well into the fall to ensure a healthy, green lawn in the spring. Fall organic fertilizer application, proper mowing, and seeding can help keep your lawn green through the winter and prepare it for dormancy.
Just because you care doesn’t mean you sit back and watch weeds infiltrate your lawn until dandelion fuzz covers your sidewalk. It also doesn’t mean you need to be on your knees from sunrise to sunset pulling ticks and invasive weeds to have the lush green carpet of your neighbors’ chemically treated yards. What organic lawn care does mean is that with a good lawn care plan and a minimum of work, you can have an attractive addition to your landscape that is safe for both your family and the environment.
Organic/natural lawn fertilizers are the best option over commercial fertilizers as they take care of your lawn naturally. These fertilizers are ecological and do not pose any threat to human health. Organic lawn fertilizers are generally “slow release”, slow release means that organic lawn fertilizers release their nutrients over a phase of time and not all fertilizing action at once. As the nutrients from organic lawn fertilizers are gradually released into the soil, the plant root seeks them out. Allowing them to entangle over bare patches, this fact in itself is a useful method of controlling weed growth, as the weeds will not find a place to grow.
An organic lawn requires aeration when the soil is compacted and the roots of the grass only reach an inch or two into the soil. A lawn that has a lot of “thatch” (the layer of live and dead grass between the green blades of grass above and the dirt below) is also an indication of compacted soil. Lawns that are rich in clay need to be aerated more than sandy lawns, but either way, it’s a good idea to aerate them once or twice a year. Once the turf soil is aerated, your organic turf will be much healthier, greener, and lusher.
You may not realize it, but proper mowing and watering are more important than anything you apply to your lawn. If you can’t or won’t water and mow consistently, you’re in for long-term problems. Infrequent watering of your organic lawn also removes thatch. Thatch is grass that reproduces on the surface of the soil in the style of strawberry plants, rather than sending roots down to grow new rhizomes. The result is a thick mat of dry grass across the lawn. When this occurs, grass cannot grow through the mat and weeds will take over your organic turf as there is no healthy grass growth to compete for light and water.
