ORGANIC LAWN

ORGANIC LAWN MOWING
The first rule runs as follows: mow the grass high. The matter is that plants need sun for their development and growth. So if the grass is high enough it will shade the weed. In the issue, the dense grass will block the access of light to the weeds, thus destroying new weed seedlings. High grass is healthier and denser than short one and in addition it is able to thicken the turf. One more advice: when you cut the grass, it is advisable to leave clippings on your lawn. Thus organic elements and nutrients will be added back into the ground. If not, in the near future the soil will be like cement and it will be difficult for you to cultivate plants on such ground.

ORGANIC LAWN IRRIGATION
Water your organic lawn infrequently. In so doing the grass roots will penetrate deep into the ground. The top of the ground can be very dry, thus leaving weed and weed seedlings without sufficient moisture. Consequently weeds die. At the same time grass whose roots have went deep into the soil can receive moisture from the depth of the soil.
Frequent watering leads to the appearance of “thatch”. The roots of the grass are situated in the top inch or two of ground. The oppressive heat dries the soil. In the issue, much of the grass will become brown. Concerning the weed and weed seedlings, they love a frequent watering. All they need for successful development is daily watering.
One of the best methods to determine the time for watering is:
Before becoming brown the grass begins to curl. When it begins to curl, the time has come for lawn watering.

ORGANIC LAWN CARE FERTILIZIER
Commercial protein based dry fertilizers must be assimilated by soil microbs before the nitrogen reaches the roots. The composition of such fertilizers often include ground corn, alfalfa, cottonseed, soy, meal, corn gluten, some other grains, blood meal, feather meal. You can use ground seed, bean or used coffee grounds as organic fertilizers. These ingredients are available at farms or feed stores. Fertilize soil with organic fertilizers at any convenient time. Use any amount of the fertilizer in question as it will not hurt the turf. You will see benefit in your lawn grass in approximately 3 weeks.
