Organic-Based Natural Lawn Fertilizers
 Organic-Based
The
use of the terms "natural" and "organic" can be
very misleading and cause confusion if not used properly. NaturaLawn®
of America has always taken the position that the public's
perception of a word must be carefully considered before using it.
In its strictest
sense, any material containing carbon could be considered "organic".
Plastic, for example, could be considered "organic" by this
definition and as such, we don't refer to our fertilizers as organic,
but rather organic-based.
From the public's
viewpoint, as well as organic farmers and gardeners, organic is a
term used when referring to nitrogen fertilizer sources that are derived
from something that was once living, such as plants or animals and
their by-products.
At NaturaLawn
of America, that is the way we interpret "organic"
too and feel that it is deceptive to call fertilizer "organic"
simply because it may have carbon in it.
Natural
Minerals
NaturaLawn® of America fertilizers also contain phosphorus and potassium,
each derived from natural mineral sources and deposits.The phosphorus
and potassium used in our exclusive fertilizers create premium products.
Since they are from natural sources, they are relatively more expensive
than the traditionally used synthetic sources applied by other lawn
care companies. NaturaLawn of America
believes that the benefits of using these mineral sources far outweigh
the economics involved since phosphorus and potassium are critical
in helping build a healthy soil that encourages dense root systems,
vigorous turf and promoting active soil organisms such as earthworms
and beneficial insects.
Proprietary
and Unique
All of NaturaLawn® of America's
natural lawn fertilizers have been developed internally and are not only individually
unique but are also proprietary materials.
Each fertilizer
is also blended with our own special package of an additional proprietary mix of naturally occurring
conditioners, which help plants withstand disease and stress.
We are proud to bring a second generation of unique proprietary and
beneficial product to the market place.
Soil, The Foundation
Soils are
the backbone for supporting plant life. Think of the soil as the foundation
for a house and the house being built is your lawn. Let's assume we
were to build two identical "houses" side by side. The only
difference is that one house has a solid concrete foundation upon
which it rests while the other is built simply onto the earth's surface.
Both houses will
continue to look identical until some type of "stress" is
placed on them. Let's say a minor quake occurs and damages both homes.
It's safe to assume that the house built on the strong foundation
will fare better than the other - even though both looked identical.
Soil & NaturaLawn® of America Fertilizer
A lawn
grown under proper soil conditions is similar to the house built on
a solid foundation. Most lawn care companies forget the importance
of the soil and only feed the lawn. NaturaLawn® of America's
entire lawn care program is based on the premise that:
"We are not growing a lawn -
we are building a soil foundation."
Feeding
the Soil
We feed the soil with our fertilizers ... but not just any fertilizer.
While green plants don't know the difference between organic or synthetic
fertilizers, the soil organisms do!
When NaturaLawn
of America makes a fertilizer application to your lawn during the
year, we are indeed feeding the grass plants too - but we do so by
feeding the soil life first. This builds the foundation on which your
lawn will thrive. |
