Its time we started looking at organic lawn care as a viable alternative to synthetics. I have been looking at many different aspects of turf management over the last few years, and the lawns that are treated organically (smartly) have endured much more of the stresses thrown at them when compared to their synthetically treated counterparts.

In fact, if you treat two lawns side by side, and one is treated with organic lawn treatments and the other with synthetic or traditionals, this is what you will find.

1) the organc lawn will respond slower

2) the synthetic lawn, on the flip side, will respond much more quickly

3) however, the organic lawn will hold it’s color longer when treatments are either missed or stopped altogether

4) the synthetic treatment lawn will not hold color under stress

5) the turf in the organic lawn will be healthier coming out of the next winter

6) the organic lawn will have a deeper color and need less water

so with all this in mind, we are encouraging all of you to go organic with your lawn care starting this season.
