Organic Lawn Fertilizer
* for denser, tougher, greener growing grass
* for healthy lawns
* for lawn fertilizer that does more...
Lawn grass responds like no other plant to a little love and attention. You've probably noticed how a run-down look is always very revealing when your lawn is neglected. But regular grass cutting alone won't brighten your lawn up - because the grass cuttings you remove take a considerable amount from the ground - so you need to replace all those nutrients.
That's why applying lawn fertilizer is the important measure for making the grass grow greener in your patch. Although grass uses up nitrogen, organic gardeners well know that the secret to green lawns lies in using a
complete fertilizer and
not in over supplying nitrogen - that would mean lots more grass cutting.
Instead they provide a steady release over the season from organic lawn fertilizer that includes
all the small but essential nutrients, such as iron, as well. This is about a healthy looking green not rampantly growing grass.
And for organic gardeners this also presents a good opportunity to get nutrients into
lawn cuttings then into
garden compost which then goes onto your
vegetables or flower beds. While in addition, when you leave grass cuttings on the lawn
from late spring to late summer that also feeds the lawn.

organic lawn fertilizers also feed the living soil and help to improve drainage and aeration.
For an all year around
healthy lawn you can use 2 fertilizers, one for spring to early-summer, and one for late-summer to early autumn. Why ?
The Fall is a time to reduce sappy green growth from nitrogen high spring / summer fertilizer. Sappy growth in the fall invites attack from fungal diseases, which are rife as most plants are naturally dying down. Instead you need a fertilizer blend that will toughen up the grass for winter.
For this reason 2 special seasonal blends of organic fertilizer have been developed for American gardeners.
