Non-toxic Fertilizer Means Healthier Lawns, Pets, and People

Nothing beats the feel of a soft, thick grass beneath bare feet in the summertime, especially when it's cared for by Green Earth Lawn Care, Inc., in Hutchinson, MN - a company using fertilizer that contains no harmful toxins.

  1. First rule of lawn and garden care: You only feed your lawn and plants if you want growth, flowers, and good health.

  2. You should feed your lawn with Earthsoils® liquid lawn fertilizer.

  3. You have to feed a balanced food. Lawns require different levels of food such as nitrogen, calcium, and iron to name just a few. If you use too much of one and not enough of another you will do more harm than good. Earthsoils® is everything a plant wants in a balanced form.

  4. Grass requires water to thrive. The average lawn in average soil requires 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week.

  5. Do not over water. Grass roots looking for water will be deeper and this means the grass will survive stress better.

  6. Set your mower to the proper height. DO NOT cut your lawn too short or you're asking for problems. 3" or higher is best for around this area. Grass blades that are cut too short can take up to a month to start growing again, and where the grasses thin, the weeds will grow.

  7. Keep your lawn mower blades SHARP! You want to cut the grass blades, not tear them. If you tear the grass blades, you leave them open to disease.

  8. MULCH your lawn instead of bagging. By leaving the grass clippings where they fall you are feeding your lawn every time you mow.

  9. The last thing you need to do is lawn aeration. Aeration helps relieve soil compaction, and also helps break up thatch.
