Organic Lawn Treatment Basics
So you want to go green eh? Organic lawn treatment services and companies do exist, as well as great DIY friendly organic lawn treatment programs. But where do you start? Here are the basics for you to consider.
1) Is an organic lawn treatment program right for your situation? The reason I need you to answer this question is simply to gauge your expectation level. An organic lawn will in all reality look better and be healthier than the alternatives, but you have to have a good base to work from first. Long story short, if you have a major weed problem and a thin turf structure, then you will need to use non-organic means to correct what is ailing your turf prior to going fully green and organic.
There just is no such thing as an organic weed killer so you can hang that thought up. Now I know there are companies on the net selling natural and organic weed killers, but they DO NOT WORK, trust me. There is, however, a good alternative to achieving a green, weed free lawn by using just a “little bit” or weed killing chemicals. In my book, I talk about this! Click here to get it.
Once you do get rid of the weeds, then you can start on an organic lawn treatment program.
2) Are you willing to do your part in other areas besides organic lawn treatment? What I mean here is that there are many things you can do to your lawn that will help it to thicken up and these items are indeed organic. One of those is core aeration which is a machine that punches holes in the lawn, allowing grass roots to thicken. In addition, you should constantly add fresh grass seeds to existing lawns to thicken them up and add in fresh, disease resistant grass species.
You will also need to mow your organically treated lawn regularly and mow it tall! No scalping allowed! irrigation is also important.
3) Finally, can you exercise a little patience? Organic lawn treatment programs work very well, but they also work slowly. organic lawn fertilizers release nutrients slowly as heat breaks down the nutrients and releases them into the soil. This produces good results slowly over time. Remember, organic lawn care is a marathon, not a sprint.
