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 step to a great lawn is that you remember one key point: when it comes to lawn care, an organic lawn is generally much better than a chemically treated lawn. Yes, you can have a wonderful green lawn without having to use all those chemical products. Will this be easy? No, but nothing worthwhile is easy. However, it may not be as hard as you think, as the long-term benefits of an organic lawn will create less work in the future. So, yes, you can have an organic lawn, keep it green, and not have to work as long as your neighbor does!

So, what do you need to do? First, you need to concentrate on your soil. If you have planted your grass on top of concrete, then of course the grass will not grow. Of course, you didn’t plant your grass on concrete (at least I sincerely hope not), but you may have planted it on poor soil that does not have any nutrients.

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.

Improving your soil will do amazing things for your lawn. So, what is the best tip I have for doing this? Use organic fertilizer instead of the man-made chemical kind. Why? There are several reasons. Using organic fertilizer will do amazing things for your root structure by improving the amount of water and air your soil can retain and allow to flow to the roots. Basically, organic products allow and encourage bacteria and fungi to grow in the soil (like they should, don’t worry ). This in turn improves the soils structure, helping it to retain water more efficiently and allowing air to flow better to the roots. This in turn will help your grass get more nutrients from the roots and stay green longer with less water and care!

Organic fertilizers may not have as much nitrogen, phosphorus, or potash as man made chemicals, but that does not mean it is not effective at keeping your lawn green and developing the soil. Will you see immediate results using an organic fertilizer like you will if you have one of those spray companies come and spray your lawn? No, but what you are doing will actually last, while the company’s spray will act more like makeup on someone’s face – it looks good while its on, but comes off very fast and doesn’t last that long.
