We will spot check in flowerbeds for the presence of earthworms, to determine soil health, and in the lawn for grubs that may be damaging the root system. Release of worms or application of worm castings and beneficial nematodes will be recommended if necessary. Brown Patch, Black Spot and other visible fungal problems areas will be identified and treatment will be detailed. Depending on results from Penetrometer GreenSense All Purpose Fertilizers will be applied a minimum of three times per year at a rate of 20 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. We will alternate GreenSense 524 and 624 Products.
Earthworm castings can be an excellent supplement.
Trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and even lawn grass, will benefit greatly from monthly foliar feeding. GreenSense Foliar Juice contains Seaweed derived from ascophylum nodosum, Fish emulsion and Manure compost tea and Apple cider vinegar for an additional boost. Howard Garrett says that in an organic program, you do not have to worry so much about pH levels because they will naturally balance out after a while. Therefore, we will not at this point worry too much about pH levels. Once established organic programs require minimal replenishment of organic materials.
