Going Organic – It’s A Great Choice

If you want to know how to have an organic lawn that is thick, lush, green and beautiful, then you have stumbled onto the right blog. What you will find as you “thumb” through the pages here is that I am NOT an extremist who preaches organics as a way to save the world. Of course, I do believe that going organic in your lawn care is better for our environment, but on the flip side, I don’t believe that synthetic lawn products are BAD either. Let’s explore shall we?

Synthetic or Man-Made Lawn Chemicals – Pros and Cons

The number one reason why synthetic lawn chemicals get a bad rap when it comes to the environment is because homeowners don’t follow label directions! Sorry guys, I’m not trying to make you feel bad, but the majority of you have this whole “more is better” philosophy that means you just dump and dump and dump thinking your lawn will become beautiful because of it. And in the short term, you are right! If you put lots of synthetic fert on your lawn, it will be VERY green… but not for long.

In addition, there are synthetic products out there that make things easier for you that aren’t really good for the environment or your lawn either. As an example, let’s look at the typcial granular “weed-n-feed” product you can buy at big box stores.

A weed-n-feed bag contains a couple things: Fertilizer and weed killer – both mixed in the bag together.

So you head out to your lawn in April to spread this stuff, and a

s you throw it out on the lawn using your broadcast lawn spreader you are laying fertilizer evenly on the lawn (good assuming you set the spreader properly) but you are also throwing weed killer all over the lawn too – but what if there are sections of the lawn that don’t have weeds? Does it make sense to throw weed killer in an area where there are no weeds? Of course not! But you can’t control it…

Finally, synthetic lawn products don’t do anything to build the natural soil organisms that a lawn needs to stay healthy for the long haul. In fact, using synthetic fertilizers creates a dependance… like drugs in humans (dramatic I know LOL)

However, you can use a combination of synthetics and organics as a way to boost a crappy lawn with a goal of going to 100% organic, and my book here tells you all about it. The idea is to use synthetics in a controlled and smart way to get your lawn growing and thick and mostly weed-free, then move to 100% organic treatments.

Growing An Organic Lawn

Once you have a good foundation, you can go 100% natural and organic and have a beautiful lawn that is easy to maintain and looks better too. An organic lawn will look 100% more vigorous during the year, even during the most stressful times (like drought and heat) and can stand up to insect and disease pressure better as well.

Organic treatments will built your soil and good soil is the key to a good lawn. Here is a quick list of some posts that will help you understand this concept:

Making Organic Lawn Applications work better

Core aeration benefits

It’s time to consider a lawn treatment plan for the fall. I say this because I know a good number of you either did nothing all year for your turf or whatever you did do just didn’t work. Either way, you need to get that lawn looking good prior to winter and I can tell you that FALL IS A GREAT TIME to get started! In fact, you can get better results FASTER IN FALL than you can in the spring… and you can do it organic and natural!

Let me help you… just follow these steps and your lawn will be looking good in 6 weeks flat, no kidding.

Aerate The Lawn

Lawn aeration is a big time fundamental here guys – especially when you are going organic with your lawn care. Aeration does a lot of good, like loosening soil, breaking down thatch, helping the grass roots to spread and thicken. It is a mechanical process so it works every time and requires no chemicals. But it is also going to help in our little fall lawn treatment cycle here.

You see, when you aerate, you are basically poking a bunch of holes in the lawn that allow the grass roots to fill in fast. The good news is that turfgrass naturally thickens in the root system in the fall anyway, and the more roots, the thicker the top. But there is more… read the next tip–

Fall Organic Lawn Fertilizer

I want you to fertilizer your lawn RIGHT AFTER you aerate the lawn. This is important because our fertilizer will fall directly into those holes (or wash into them) and directly into the root system. This is important because of the fact that organic lawn fertilizers don’t break down from water/moisture like traditional fertilizers do. In fact, organics need heat to break down. So we want the fert to get in teh holes where it can stay nice and warm and break down fast, then be readily available for the grass roots to take in. Here are a couple of my favorite organic lawn fertilizers. Just make sure you apply the correct “pounds on the ground” as the label specifies.

Grass Seed – Over Seed

Finally, it is a good time to go ahead and throw down some grass seed now as well. Yep, right after the fertilizer is spread, throw in some fresh grass seed. Here is a quick video I did that will help you understand how to grow fresh seed in your lawn.

Organic Lawn Care schedule for homeowners! It is only $7 so please read this and GO GREEN!
Look…

Hi guys, my name is Allyn and I am the author of this book, but more importantly, I am a lawn care guy who has been working in the green industry since I was 15 years old. (much older than that now )
During these years, homeowners like you have become more conscious in what they are applying to their home lawns. In addition, you guys just want to know what to put on your lawn and when to put it down… and here is the book to teach and tell you all that! (don’t panic, it is only $7)

This is NOT a “how to” book, rather, it is a “when to” and “what to” book.

Here is my lawn! 100% organic and natural.

Three distinct organic lawn care programs.

1) a hybrid program that talks about responsible use of pesticides couple with utilization of organic and synthetic fertilizers. If your lawn is “crappy,” this program is for you. But then you can move to…

2) another hybrid program that incorprates more organic and natural fertilizers while using less and less pesticides. This program will work for you if your lawn is “fairly decent already.”

3) final program incorporates 100% natural lawn treatments. This is the pinnacle of “green” lawn care. If you are on this program, your lawn will be beautiful and natural, all at the same time.

The idea is to start with Program #1 and get your lawn in shape so you can go 100% organic with Program #3. That is the best way to get to a completely organic lawn care program. In the biz, we call this “Integrated Pest Management.”

In addition, I give you full support through the season. I give you my personal email at the end of the book, and will be there to help you along. All emails from readers are answered within 24hrs by me!

You should fertilize your own lawn because, let’s face it, it ain’t that difficult. In addition, if you want to treat your lawn organically, it is easier! That’s right guys, organic lawn care treatments are much easier and fool proof when compared to their synthetic counterparts.

You see, organic lawn fertilizers are naturally slow releasing, and also just will not burn the lawn! Synthetics, however, even the slow release kind, will leave more streaks and lines if you make a mistake. What’s more, if you put down too much synthetic nitrogen in your lawn, you will burn it.

Organic lawn care treatments do not have such risks. Now I’m not telling you to go out and throw down this stuff “willie nillie” but I am telling you that organic lawn care treatments are not as difficult, and the results are much better in the long term!

Organic and Natural Lawn Care Treatments

So you want to have a thick, green and plush yard and lawn, but you also want to do it organically or using natural products. This is very understandable, and in fact, I really respect the fact that you are choosing that route. But there are a few things you will need to understand before you can truly get to the point where your lawn is both healthy and green AND organic and naturally treated.

What I am getting at is there needs to be a starting point and that starting point is going to determine a few things. In addition, we need to establish your own personal feelings on this so we can ensure we do the right thing for your conscience.

WIth that in mind, we should prepare to embark on a journey (sounds hoakey right? ) but this journey is very important. You see, I love lawns and greenscapes and I also love it when they are natural and safe and free of pesticides! What’s next?
