Organic

Posted on by

Organic products can be applied to lawns in several ways. Commercially processed organic matter is obviously one option. Homeowners can also apply organic matter throughout the growing season by grass-cycling when they mow. Leaving lawn clippings adds a considerable amount of organic matter to the lawn, and over the years, provides a good base for healthy soil microbes to thrive.

Compost is another soil amendment that can be applied annually to the lawn. This is like a super-dose of organic matter that will quickly bring a depleted, microbe deficient, soil new life.

  1. You have several ootipns. If you don’t care about using chemicals, round-up is a chemical that you can find at your local garden center that will completely kill everything if applied properly. If you want to do it the green way, place several layers of newspaper over the vegetation you want killed. Eventually, everything growing in the area will suffocate and die due to the lack of air. Also, keeping the newspaper soaking wet will speed this process up. You may also want to place something heavy on top of the newspapers so they don’t get blown away. In a few weeks, lift up part of the newspaper and see if everything is dead. If it isn’t, leave the newspaper there for a few more weeks. After this is done, you’ll need to start adding organic matter to the soil. Examples of this include table scraps (but NOTHING with meat or oil of any kind), grass clippings, tea bags, coffee grounds, orange peels, etc. Overtime the organic matter will break down in the soil, and vegetables LOVE soils rich in organic matter. If you want more info on this, just google composting . There’s TONS of info on this.

    • Lush cosmetics is a bit expesnive, but worth every penny!The bubble bars last a long time if you have jets in your tub. just use a quarter of one and puff them up with the jets for 4-5 minutes! i love big blue bath bomb! the seaweed is so detoxifying!Lush is such a good store as far as enviroment is concerned. They barley use packaging, and most products are vegan. If you use a solid shampoo bar it lasts longer then a bottle of shampoo and is better for the enviroment. and even if you do buy the shampoo there you can bring it back for recycling!Yay lush! =]
