Organic lawn care is revolutionizing the lawn care industry. Concern for the safety of their children and pets, as well as environmental concern, is increasingly causing people to use organic lawn care practices. Municipal mandates banning the use of toxic chemicals on soccer and baseball fields are forcing municipal managers to use non-toxic, natural fertilizers and soil conditioners on municipal property.

Instead of using toxic chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, the use of Compost Tea on lawns is becoming increasingly popular. As seen on “This Old House,” Harvard University has been using Compost Tea on Harvard Yard instead of chemical fertilizers and has much healthier and better quality turf on Harvard Yard as a result.

Compost Tea – What is it?

Compost Tea contains the micro biology needed for your lawn to thrive. Compost is suspended in water filled drums, where oxygen and nutrients are added, so that the beneficial microorganisms are extracted and multiply in huge numbers. Those beneficial bacteria, protozoa, and fungi in Compost Tea are the necessary biology that builds soil structure and improves tillage.

Beneficial microorganisms in the ecosystem are negatively impacted by chemical based pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Plant nutrition is increased by Compost Tea making nutrients more available to the root system. Those nutrients are available through microbial interactions at exactly the correct amount, time, and place.

With a Compost Tea program, your lawn will develop a deeper and stronger root system. Your lawn will be more heat and drought resistant, and better able to use the available nutrients and oxygen from the soil. You lawn will grow more laterally instead of vertically, needing less frequent mowing, and growing thicker to crowd out weeds.

Lawns organically maintained:

* Need less frequent watering

* Need to be cut less often

* Crowd out weeds

* Resist pests

Which adds up to savings for you, and a safe and healthy lawn for your children and pets!
