Why should you consider going natural?
Natural fertilizers supply the important plant nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
(N-P-K), which help lawns and plants create rich color and deep roots. In addition, N-P-K
promote vigorous growth, which improves disease and stress resistance. Naturally managed
lawns cycle nutrients efficiently, which helps prevent a buildup of thatch-an accumulation at the
soil surface of dead, but undecomposed, stems and leaves. Importantly, grass clippings do not
two pounds of additional nitrogen per thousand square feet a nice boost of free nutrients. The
most important goal of any soil fertility program is the stimulation of the natural cycles that
release nutrients for plant uptake. Ninety percent of the needed nitrogen for plant growth is
natural cycle of nitrification. Natural fertilizers and water applied in the right combination along
with the return of grass clippings provide the nutrients needed to support proliferation of these
bacteria. The nourished bacteria rapidly process the nutrients making them available for healthy
lawn growth. Natural fertilizers tend to release nutrients more slowly than chemical fertilizers. In
addition, they don't contain the high concentrations of nitrogen that are contained in most
chemical fertilizers. High nitrogen concentrations in the soil can damage the biological
community and are proven to contribute to water pollution by leaching out of the soil into the
ground and surface water. By supplying low levels of nitrogen and other nutrients directly to
the lawn and indirectly through feeding the soil biological community, the grass is fed
continuously without causing water pollution. Some conventional, manufactured-chemical
fertilizers supply nitrogen in the form of chemical salts. This form of manufactured-chemical
nitrogen dissolves quickly to provide a rapid nitrogen release. Often, a quick nitrogen release
can encourage weed growth. Lawn grasses respond to a nitrogen 'spike' by producing
excessive top growth in lieu of laying in stores of carbohydrates. Lawns with poor carbohydrate
reserves often go dormant during drought or other stressful times.
