Keep Your Lawn Environmentally Safe With Organic Lawn Fertilizer

Taking care of your lawn in a way that is safe for your pets, children, and the environment is extremely important for the welfare of all. Every homeowner has a lawn, so the amount of lawns in the world is “out of this world”. Organic lawn fertilizer keeps your lawn lush and green without posing any health problems to your neighborhood and all of its little critters, plus you can walk around barefoot or roll around in the grass without worrying about any ill effects. Organic lawn fertilizer pampers the lawn. Grass roots are strengthened so you don’t have to worry about wear and tear either. The grass will pop right back into shape if the neighborhood kid happens to accidentally wipe out on his bicycle onto your lawn (and the poor little guy won’t get a lecture about riding his bike on the grass either).

Mass public awareness about environmental health is skyrocketing daily. It’s becoming common knowledge that chemical lawn fertilizers cause harm to our families and our pets, not to mention that long term effects are disastrous to the soil under our lawns, making lawns physically dependent on synthetic fertilizer. Organic lawn fertilizer is the answer to that dilemma...no questions asked. They promote microbial activity that just builds and builds better soil as the years go by. It’s always a good idea to test your soil annually before applying any type of organic fertilizer. Then you’ll have a good idea about what your lawn really needs. A great lawn fertilizer that’s been tried and proven itself true is fish emulsion. Especially the stuff made from the Menhaden fish. The Menhaden fish is a tiny little guy, made up of mostly bones and oils that the soil loves. Best of all, it’s environmentally friendly because it’s a renewable source.

Organic compost is a good idea too, or simply let your lawn keep its clips. As your grass clippings decompose your lawn gets fed some super nutrients. Aerating your lawn will also get you much better results, and the grass clippings that you keep on the lawn will seep into the soil with a little help from Mother Nature or the garden hose. A good rain will pound clippings into the ground and decomposing grass will set nutrients free into the soil for your lawn’s roots to soak up. If you’re going to use organic compost, you’ll want to make sure that it’s evenly and thinly spread over the lawn, and then gently rake it into the grass. Water the lawn immediately after applying so that the compost can soak into the soil. You don’t want your blades of grass smothered in compost, and if your lawn’s aerated it will soak into the soil that much quicker.

Organic lawn fertilizers build your lawn’s soil up when chemical fertilizer, though they give you instant gratification (which is just an illusion in the long run), are really just killing all of the natural nutrients that exist, on top of the earthworms and other microbial activity that benefits the lawn.

Organic lawn fertilizers are even absorbed more readily than synthetics are. A liquid fish emulsion is a superior lawn fertilizer. You won’t need to put up all those warning flags all over your lawn, and you’ll still get the instant gratification that a synthetic fertilizer would deliver. And unlike liquid chemical fertilizers, fish emulsion is quickly absorbed and won’t run off into the groundwater. What’s best is that even if it did, it wouldn’t be polluting the groundwater with hazardous toxins.

So it is possible to have that awesome green lawn that everyone dreams of without polluting the environment and without putting animals and people in harm’s way. Those colorful “WARNING” flags really aren’t all that attractive either. Organic lawn fertilizer doesn’t require any warnings because it is natural. The grass can really be greener on your side of the fence, and organic lawn fertilizer can make that happen.
