Spring Secret # 1

How can you reduce chemical fertilizers, prevent weeds, and cut down excessive watering this Spring?

SPRING TOP DRESSING

What will top dressing do for your lawn?

  • IMPROVE SOIL HEALTH : Organic compost contains a variety of nutrients, microorganisms, and beneficial bacteria that can improve soil health.  Good compost will introduce these elements to your soil, creating a healthier growing environment for your lawn.
  • SKIP THE SPRING FERTILIZER : Compost is a natural  source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for healthy plant growth. By top dressing with compost, you can provide your grass with a natural source of these nutrients without using synthetic fertilizers. (If you seed before hand, it will also greatly reduce the amount weeds you will get this year!)
  • INCREASE WATER RETENTION : Compost has the ability to absorb and retain water, making it particularly helpful during all this dry weather we have been having.  Reducing water is a huge component of sustainability, and just one compost top dressing reduces the need for frequent watering.
  • ENHANCED ROOT GROWTH :  Good compost promotes root growth in the grass, and stimulates the growth of microorganisms, which can aid in the uptake of nutrients by the grass roots.
