Organic Lawn Care By Jessica's Garden Why Go Organic? An organic approach to lawn care means that you have adopted safe and healthy practices for creating and maintaining a flourishing, safe lawn for you, your family, and your pets to enjoy. The key is to create and sustain healthy soil, which in turn, feeds the grass and plants. This is all done without harmful pesticides – again, safe and healthy for you, your family, and the environment. Benefits to your lawn, plants, trees, and shrubs Unlike chemically treated lawns, which feed the grass directly with synthetic and hostile materials, the organic approach creates healthier, disease-resistant, and self-sustaining soil. Focusing on the naturally occurring dynamics in nature, organic treatments encourage the healthy organisms in the soil to regulate and control disease and pests. An organic lawn also means less use of water and less of a need to mow. Benefits to your family All of our products are soybean and corn gluten based and contain no municipal waster. They are safe for your family and pets. These products do not leach into wells, and once they’re applied, little feet and paws can immediately enjoy the use of the lawn. Benefits to the environment Our organic lawn treatment process is all natural, which means we use nothing synthetic, nothing toxic, and nothing that will harm the environment. Benefits to lakes and waterways Jessica’s Garden offers two lake-friendly fertilizers that are water insoluble with zero phosphorus. Understanding Organic Lawn Care There is one simple goal of organic lawn care – to make your soil healthy so it can feed your grass, trees, and plants without the need for harsh chemical fertilizers. When you use organic lawn care products, you are fertilizing your grass while at the same time creating ideal soil conditions for a healthy lawn that can nourish itself for the long term. The biology of your soil Although you can’t see it, there is “life” brimming in your soil – a host of microorganisms that feed on decaying organic matter. As these microorganisms digest, they release valuable nutrients which are absorbed by the roots of your grass, plants, and trees. The more organic material you feed to your soil, the more nutrients will be released to the plant roots, creating a self-sustaining cycle that will keep your lawn balanced and healthy. Chemical fertilizers kill off the life of your soil, disturbing the natural balance and preventing the soil from sustaining the lawn. Negative effects of synthetic lawn care Many people are pleased with the lush green grass that immediately appears after applying chemical fertilizers and pesticides. What they don’t realize is that these chemicals are stripping the soil of important microorganisms needed for a healthy, self-sustaining lawn. Also, harsh chemicals used for pesticides and weed control end up harming trees, shrubs, and waterways. |
