Organic Lawn Fertilizer...For a Beautiful Lawn

Organic lawn fertilizers are “slow-release” in nature, making them the perfect candidate for feeding those millions of tiny plants in your lawn. Slow release means that nutrients are released over a period of time and not all at once. This way, organic lawn fertilizers are in effect stretching the feeding or growing period of your grass. As the nutrients in organic fertilizers are gradually released into the soil, the roots of your plants seek them out, allowing them to carpet over the bare patches. This in itself also functions as an effective way to control weed growth as they will no longer have a place on which their seeds may germinate.



The secret to having the perfect front yard is to have a lush, green, freshly manicured lawn.

It is common knowledge that soil organisms are important to plant growth. They are about as important to grass life cycle as well. Without them, the nutrients naturally found in the soil and the atmosphere will not be of any use to the plant. It is the soil organism that breaks down nitrogen into nitrates essential for grass to grow, provides the plant carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and prevents plant diseases.

Organic fertilizers do not contain any chemical substances that could ultimately destroy these vital microorganisms in lawns. Because of this, organic lawn fertilizers do not suppress grass from growing as their synthetic counterparts do. Instead, encourage grass to not only grow but also keep them healthy and vibrant.

Manufactured organic lawn fertilizers have all three of the major nutrients needed by plants, which are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When you use organic fertilizers, the presence of these nutrients helps ensure that plants get the sufficient supply that they need for growth.

Some other benefits include better soil aggregation and thatch reduction, thus ensuring a more efficient release of available grass nutrients. Organic fertilizers can also improve atmospheric action in the soil, plant-related disease resistance, antioxidant hormone production and water infiltration. In addition, aid in increasing water and oxygen retention of grass, deepening their extensive turf root system, augmenting mycorrhizal associations, reducing soil “compact clumping”, and developing lawn density.
