The guiding principle of organic lawn care is to nourish the soil. In this way, it differs fundamentally from chemical lawn care, which focuses on feeding the grass. Restoring and protecting soil health is crucial for the maintenance of a lush, naturally pest and disease resistant lawn. A healthy soil is alive. Together they break down organic matter, make nutrients available for plant uptake and aerate the soil.
Soil aeration is important for water storage and air exchanges.
Research shows that chemical fertilizers and pesticides degrade soil life and decrease the level of biological activity. So, you've decided to implement organic lawn care. This involves actively caring for your lawn and ensuring that both the soil and plants are healthy. It also means adopting a new perspective on your lawn and those plants unaffectionately known as weeds. Some so-called weeds are actually beneficial to your lawn and soil.
