Organic Lawn Fertilizer is Better?
Like so many other things organic, you may question whether organic lawn fertilizer is better than
chemical lawn fertilizer. The proof is in the testing that has taken place by farmers
and experts alike.
Chemicals will artificially increase the nutrients found in lawns
while organics are a naturally occurring source of nutrients. If you have used
chemicals on your lawn in the past, you know that the soil becomes very
hard.
A lawn treated with organic lawn fertilizer is soft which means
better health, better drainage and an
easier means for all things natural, like earthworms, to thrive in your lawn. You will also find that your lawn will become more immune to diseases with the use of organic lawn
fertilizer.
Organic lawn fertilizer is also better for the environment. The
pesticides and chemicals used with conventional lawn fertilizer can leach into
wells, ponds and rivers and contaminate the water for humans, animals and
plants.
These chemicals can also poison the insects that live in our yards.
For example, a bee will make honey from a flower that has been poisoned by a
chemical fertilizer. We, in turn, eat this honey and the poison enters our
systems. Our own pets will walk in the grass bringing the poisons into our
homes.
This same poison will affect wild animals that pass through our
yards.
Organic lawn fertilizer will prevent any of these things from taking
place. Another great reason to use organic lawn fertilizer is that they tend
to require less mowing. And you know what that means for you… More time to
play!
Not only is organic lawn fertilizer better to use on our home lawn,
it would be better to use this type of fertilizer on our school lawns, our
parks, and also on our golf courses. More and more people are realizing the
value of using organic lawn fertilizer for our environment and our health.
