Have you started to become concerned that you are hurting the environment while taking care of your lawn? Many people have, so luckily you are not the only one. Frankly, if everyone would take a moment to think of the environmental impact they are creating just to have a green lawn, we all would be in a much better position in terms of the world’s health today. So, how can you make a difference AND have a green lawn at the same time?

The first thing you need to do to have a green, health lawn and environment is to realize that you can have a great lawn by using organic products instead of chemicals created by some scientist/corporation. And yes, your kids will even be able to play on it! However, please note – this will require some work. You will either have to do this yourself or find someone or some company to do it for you (and honestly, most companies will not take care of a lawn organically). However, in the longer run, you will be very pleased with the results.

The first thing you need to work on in order to have a green lawn is not the grass-you need to work on the soil first and foremost. If you don’t have good soil, then you may need to work on this for a while, because green grass will not grow long term on bad soil, period.

If this is the case, then you need to head to your local gardener/lawn care guru and ask for some tips on what you can do. What you can do will vary by location/region a little bit, so I won’t try to give you all kinds of tips that may not be right for you. However, there are some things that everyone can do to improve the quality of their soil.

First, to improve the quality of your soil, I would strongly recommend using a good organic lawn fertilizer. Organic fertilizers will help your soil several ways. First, it will increase the amount of water your soild can hold. Second, the physical structure of your soil will improve which will make it easier for air to reach down in the soil, which will then help your grass roots grow better. Finally, an organic fertilizer will also increase the bacteria and fungus in your lawn. How is that a good thing? Well, let’s just say that fungus may be bad when it’s on you, but it’s very good for the soil and for breaking down things and turning it into great grass food!

So how do organic fertilizers do this when man made chemical ones have much more ‘active’ ingredients (nitrogen, phosphorus, or potash)? Well, quantity is not the only issue at play here. You can take too many vitamins, or just take them in the wrong amounts to the point that they will not really help you. Same thing with fertilizer. No, organic fertilizer will not change your lawn green overnight, but longer term you will have a much healthier, and thus greener lawn that even requires less work and water and is better for the environment.
