| | How to Detoxify Your Lawn, Have a Beautiful Yard, & Protect the Environment | | | |
One of the simplest things you can do to detoxify your lawn, have a beautiful yard, garden, or turf, as well as protect your pets and family is to stop using synthetic-chemical fertilizers that contain fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. While these types of fertilizers can be effective in the short term for achieving the results we all desire for our lawns and gardens, they have been shown to have negative side effects on the environment, on people, and on pets – especially those with sensitivities to synthetic chemicals. There are also documented cases of pollution to vulnerable watersheds effecting biodiversity for example: the over nutrient water causes alae to crowd out beneficial plants depleting oxygen and causing the body of water to become eutrophic and human/pet health issues for example: birth defects, cancer, mutations, fertility, immunilogical, neurological, and endocrine attributed to exposure to these synthetic-chemical fertilizers even before they’re put on the soil. What can you do if you want a good-looking yard, yet are also concerned about the environment, your home, and the health of all who live there? For starters, switch from synthetic-chemical fertilizers to organic fertilizers such as those carried by A-1 ORGANIC LAWNS. Our organic fertilizers contain no fungicides, herbicides, or insecticides, manure, sewage or animal byproducts. They are organic in composition and use ingredients from Mother Earth, not synthetic chemicals born in a reactor. Most are plant or rock derived and contain important trace minerals (micronutrients), which all bacteria, plants, animals, and even humans need to remain healthy. Some of our ingredients are actually the composted and compacted remains of ancient plants that decayed 75-million years ago. The ingredients in our organic fertilizer products are time released and help rejuvenate the soil by feeding microorganisms and plants. They work in a similar but far gentler and more organic manner than synthetic fertilizer products, which contribute to erosion, contamination of lakes and rivers, reducing soil health and fertility, and can chemically burn plants. A-1 ORGANIC LAWNS offers organic fertilizers based on soil-conditioning, decomposed plant matter, rich in trace minerals. Our Soil Conditioner 0-0-0 and Soil Science 5-0-7 products are derived from organic minerals. Organic fertilizers can really make a difference in your yard, garden, or turf, producing healthy, vigorous plants. If other cultural conditions (e.g. light, moisture level, soil type and pH, temperature range, etc.) are properly met, these plants will be more lush and disease resistant, and thus less prone to attack by weeds, insects, fungus, bacteria, or viruses than plants that are not properly nourished and whose cultural conditions are not properly met. Most importantly, if you use organic fertilizers, you will help protect the environment while making your yard safer for you and your family and pets. |
