"Studies find that dogs exposed to herbicide-treated lawns and gardens can double their chance of developing canine lymphoma and may increase the risk of bladder cancer in certain breeds by four to seven times."
What is Organic Lawn Care?
Organic is lawn care the way God and nature intended it. Read this humorous summary of why God supports organic lawn care.
"Organic lawn care" - when you hear this term, what do you think? What you should think is healthy, easier, more natural, better for the environment, and probably a little bit of 'will this work for my lawn?'.
It will, and companies are doing it all over the United States and Canada. There are companies across the US, and locally in Columbus, Cleveland, and Akron. In fact, 100% of Toronto is pesticide-free by law. Now, in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas, there is PureLawn.
And the fact is PureLawn has fertilizers that are made with food-grade material. Many of these contain the same nutrients as synthetic fertilizers. It will take longer to see the results, because the natural fertilizer is slow-release and feeds the grass from the soil up, but in the end, the result will be a green, healthy lawn.
In the last 10 years, research has proven this is a more effective method of lawn care. It is tough for companies who have been doing traditional lawn care to transition because they have all the old equipment and a vested interest in the chemical based model. We aren't encumbered by these old chemical assets or the accompanying mindset that pesticides are harmless. This is a new, better way of caring for your lawn.
Why spend 10-20% more on organic food, and then let someone spray indiscriminate pesticides right outside your door?
How Does Organic Lawn Care Work?
Organic lawn care feeds the soil and turf, whereas chemical lawn care companies primarily feed the turf, through the tips of the grass. By using chemicals, traditional lawn care companies are drugging your lawn to get performance, and PureLawn is the withdrawal program. Organic fertilizers feed organic matter to beneficial microorganisms and the root system in your soil. Instead of depleting the biological activity, which is crucial for a healthy soil, PureLawn is increasing the activity.
A strong, lush lawn is only as good as its base, the soil. Healthy soil is driven by the organic activity that PureLawn will help you develop. Using synthetic fertilizers creates lawns that are addicted to high dosages of nitrogen.
In this process, they make the lawn more prone to diseases, insect damage, thatch build up, and heat stress. The high salt content in such fertilizer can also kill off beneficial biological activity in the soil, such as earthworms, bacteria, and fungi. For instance, earthworms reduce thatch by eating it and create passages in the soil that make it easier for oxygen and water to reach the root systems. Other beneficial bacteria and fungi not only eat parasites and pathogens, but also help organic matter decompose and release natural nutrients in the process.
