Organic Lawn Care Consider using organic fertilizers on your home lawn.
Organic fertilizers feed the soil, which in turn feeds the plant.
The all out chemical approach tends to be for quick results, feed the plant. However, large amounts of chemical fertilizers can promote fast growth at the expense of soil life and root growth. In fact, root growth may be forced beyond the energy-producing capacity of the root system. By contrast, organic fertilizers do their work by making energy available when light, temperature and moisture activate the plants to go into their normal growth cycles. Local garden centers carry some organic fertilizers, such as ringer and Milorganite.
