Most of us have been recycling for years. We have been conserving energy and cutting back on fuel consumption.
But what about our lawns? Are they as “green” as they can be? Most of us will say no. we want to do the right thing but we also want lush green grass. So we use traditional lawn care products and try to ignore the warnings on the bottom of the bag. Well, there is hope! The lawn that you desire is achievable with out the use of toxic fertilizers and pesticides. Yes, you can have a lush, green lawn with out sacrificing the health of your family, pets or the earth around you.
Dangers of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides
Exposure to chemical pesticides and weed killers can lead to many serious health problems. The National Cancer Institute reports that children are at risk for brain and other childhood cancers and are four times more likely to develop leukemia when lawn pesticides are used at home. Children are more likely to suffer negative effects from pesticide exposure because of their lower body weight, their less developed immune and detoxification systems and the fact that they are still growing. In and around homes, children spend more time on floors and lawns, where pesticide residues are often found in high concentrations. Pets are also at risk since they play and sleep on grass and sometimes ingest it, dogs are four times more likely to develop canine lymphoma in homes where “weed and feed” type products are used. Adults are also at risk from chemical pesticide exposure. They can suffer side effects to their endocrine, nervous and immune systems.
Our land and water are being contaminated due to our use of chemical lawn applications. In our quest for the perfect lawn we are creating a hazard to the heath of all living creatures and our earth. Synthetic fertilizers dissolve easily and release nutrients faster than the plants can use them. These excess nitrates and phosphates can pollute our rivers, lakes and wells.
Healthy Soil = Healthy Lawns, Plants, Trees & Shrubs
A healthy soil, rich in nutrients and life, is the essential building block of any lawn and garden. Soil is a complex & delicate ecosystem in its own right with a multitude of organisms converting a wide variety of inactive materials into the essential nutrients that your lawn and plants will thrive on. Chemical fertilizers can destroy these organisms and put you lawn in a cycle of dependency. A fundamental principle of organic lawn care is to feed the soil and then let it feed your lawn. Organic Solutions Lawn Care offers many, organic, nutrient rich fertilizers to feed your lawn. We can also apply various natural soil amendments along with A.A.C.T. compost tea to help restore, promote and nourish
