The phrase “going green” has proven to be more than just a passing word. The global community has recognized how important it is to take care of our environment. There are benefits for ourselves as well as for future generations. For home and business owners throughout New England, a simple way to make an eco-friendly change is to utilize an organic lawn fertilization approach.
Organic lawn care and fertilization offer several distinct advantages to Massachusetts property owners. A natural turf solution is:
Better For Your Lawn
When you opt for an organic treatment plan, you provide your soil with the nutrients it naturally needs. These treatments release nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium over time, which are absorbed slowly, yielding stronger, healthier roots. While these types of treatments may take longer to produce results than chemical treatments, you’ll have a greener, more resilient lawn that will require less maintenance in the long run. Put simply: organic lawn care works with your yard, giving it precisely what it needs to thrive.
Better for the Environment
Since organic lawn care products are made exclusively from natural products, they’re biodegradable, meaning no harmful chemical runoff. Organic lawn fertilizers absorb into the soil, enriching it with critical nutrients and microorganisms without posing a risk to the surrounding plants, animals, and ecosystems. Earthworms, fungi, and other good bacteria found in your property will be unharmed, so they can keep your soil healthy and balanced.
Better For Your Wallet
Many people are surprised to learn that organic lawn care often proves more cost-effective compared to other, more traditional methods over the lifetime of your lawn, beds, and gardens. Beyond applying treatments to your property, there are other tips to employ to help drive overall cost savings. For example, one practice in organic lawn care is to avoid cleaning up grass trimmings when you mow the lawn. The cut grass breaks down and works as a natural fertilizer for your growing grass. This is an easy (and affordable) way to make a difference in the health of your lawn with long-term results.
Over time, as the health of your lawn improves, you may find that it becomes almost self-sustaining. Many home and business owners find that they can use fewer fertilizers, pesticides, and sprinklers (saving both water and money).
Better For People (And Pets)
Most importantly, using natural lawn fertilizers can help protect our families and pets from coming into contact with any harmful toxins or synthetic ingredients. No more worrying about how long you have to wait before you can go out and play, relax, and unwind. Instead, you can enjoy complete peace of mind watching your loved ones having fun in the yard after each treatment.
