Organic Lawn Care Products
Organic lawn care products should be used to make your soil - the foundation of your lawn - fertile and healthy. Using a natural fertilizer that's supplemented with
organic compost
and manures should be a good start for any healthy lawn.
Conventional lush and green lawns are usually established and maintained with the use of pesticides and herbicides. If having an organic lawn and garden is a priority for you, adjust your vision to have a “flowering lawn” that is composed of different types of grasses, clovers, ground covers and low growing herbs. It will be easier to maintain and will be able to resist drought damage.
Other ways to increase the health of your lawn organically is to adjust the height of your lawn mower blades as high as possible. Yes, this will make your grass higher but it will protect the moisture in your lawn and prevent weed seeds from growing in your soil.
Keep those grass clippings on your lawn after mowing so that they’ll decompose and nourish your yard naturally. But if they’re longer than an inch, save them for the compost pile.
When you see a bare spot in your lawn or if you created one when you pulled a weed, just fill in the gap with some grass seed and then cover the patch with grass clippings, compost or straw.
Getting Rid of Pests Naturally
There are 2 types of insects on your lawn and in your garden; those that help and those that hurt. When applying natural,
non toxic pest control
products, be careful where you spray them so that you don't harm the beneficial bugs that can control the harmful pests.
Getting Rid of Weeds Naturally
Stay away from those nasty chemicals by using the old-fashioned method of eliminating weeds by hand. Yes, it’s hard work but you can always hire a teenager to do the job if you’re not up to the task.
The USDA has found that a vinegar spray can get rid of weed seedlings. Pickling vinegar can get rid of older weeds. But vinegar can harm your regular plants, too, so be careful where you spray.
