There are many ways to make a difference in your lawn maintenance without using harmful chemicals. These methods are safe for you, your family and pets as well as the natural environment. Organic methods emphasize cultural controls like aerating and cutting high. These methods help strengthen grass' natural resistance against weeds. They encourage earthworms who are attracted by them, to aerate and leave castings which boost the activity of microbial organisms. This helps reduce compaction. Improved Soil Health Healthy soil supplies plants with an array of microorganisms that digest and convert nutrients into soluble food sources that plants' roots absorb. A lawn with high levels of beneficial organisms is more resistant to diseases and pests. The soil health also improves the retention of water. This helps the system to be more resilient to drought and less prone to low water supplies. organic yard fertilizers are naturally biodegradable, and offer the right amount and quality of important nutrients, including nitrogen (N), potassium (K) and the phosphorus (P). They release them slowly over time, helping to improve the health of soil and plant roots. The best method to determine the nutrient requirements of your soil is through a soil test which is available at your local University of Rhode Island Extension center for no charge. A soil test can reveal any deficiencies in nutrients and tell you how much of a specific mineral, organic, or biostimulant, should be applied. Less Fertilizing Synthetic fertilizers (also known as inorganic fertilizers or chemical fertilizers) were invented after WWII to boost yields of crops. They are typically made from natural gas, rock fragments or nitrogen gas. Inorganic fertilizers are sprayed on soils and provide nutrients in the form of ammonium or nitrate ions. Ionic forms of nutrients are readily available for plants' immediate uptake and can result in rapid growth and greenery. Chemicals can alter the pH balance of soil and can cause the buildup of toxic substances in certain nutrients. They can also alter the soil's structure and its ability to hold nutrients and water. Organic fertilizers feed the soil by improving its structure and the capacity of it to hold water. In time, organic fertilizers also boost the activities of soil microorganisms that are essential to maintain a healthy soil. This is, in turn, beneficial to the quality of the soil and decreases the need to weed. Less Weeds Lawns that are chemical-free are less likely to be cleared of weeds. It's also a safer space for kids and pets to play. A lawn that is weed-free is more durable over the long run. Chemicals used to control weeds could take away the soil's natural ability to fight the weeds. The weeds will begin to outcompete healthy grass, causing problems such as dandelions and crabgrass. It is also a good idea to mow your grass higher than usual and to remove more leaves at a time to ensure that the grass roots can replenish themselves with food resources. Organic mulches are an effective way to combat the weeds. Bark mulch, grass clippings and straw can help keep weeds out and can add nutrients to the soil. Better Retention of Water A lawn that is chemical-free will hold and drain water better than soil that has been heavily fertilized with synthetic fertilizers. This prevents runoff from contaminating groundwater or surface water, as well as animal habitats. Healthy soils can also benefit the environment because they help hold carbon in the atmosphere, which is a key safeguard against climate change. Healthy soils also contain beneficial microbes that can break down and release nutrients from products that are contaminated. This makes a lawn more self-sufficient, because the nutrients it needs can be stored and used when needed. A healthy lawn could also benefit from a soil test to determine whether the soil is lacking in vital minerals, which can be easily remedied through the use of mineral supplements. These can be made with natural sources such as seaweed extract or kelp, fish oil, fish emulsion, or plant hormones. |
