Organic Lawn Care
There has been a big turn towards everything organic
lately, and organic lawn care is no different.
Organic lawn care is a very safe alternative to using pesticides and
fertilizers and is a very popular way to look after your lawn, especially if
you have young kids and pets that use the lawn frequently.
You can have a perfectly healthy organic lawn by following these
tips....
Use Organic Fertilizers - Using a slow release organic
fertilizer is just as good as any non organic fertilizer and it won't burn
your lawn or dry it out as much. Earth-Rite is a
good brand.
Get Rid Of Weeds Naturally - If you want a truly organic lawn,
you will have to get rid of weeds with your hand. You can find organic weed
control products, but they don't work as well as hand weeding.
Natural Bug Control - Believe it or not, but by simply spraying
a mixture of an organic dishwashing liquid and water on your plants, will
keep the bugs away. Read the article on this site about bug control at

Liquid Seaweed - Spraying liquid Seaweed on your lawn, while it
doesn't smell great, does wonders for your lawn and it's completely organic
and very cheap!
Compost - You should add compost
to your lawn twice a year.
