Why Compost Tea?
Steps to a Toxic Free Lawn

Step 1: Reevaluate your Maintenance Practices

Take care of your soil, and it will provide you with beautiful turf.

  • Test your soil
  • Mow high (3-3 _ inches)
  • Water infrequently and deeply
  • Use seed appropriate for conditions
  • Aerate your lawn, especially in high traffic areas

  • Step 2: Promote the “Life” of your soil, don’t treat it like “dirt”

    Healthy grass grows in healthy soil, weeds grow in unhealthy soil “dirt”

    • Compost and Compost Tea
    • Organic Fertilizer
    • Fish Hydrolysate, Soy Bean Meal, Cottonseed Meal

    Step 3: Soil Amendments

    Provide essential trace elements for healthy plant growth

    • Lime/Oyster shell
    • Kelp Extract
    • Rock dust minerals-Azomite

    Step 4: Pest Control

    Do not use products that kill, those products kill non target species. There are effective organic solutions for weed and pest control.

    • Corn gluten
    • Nematodes
    • Milky Spore
    • Weeding and spot control
