Pet Safe Organic Fertilizer
NATURAL
ORGANIC, PET SAFE LAWN FERTILIZER -
EcoChem is an eco
friendly, technology based company engaged in the production of
natural organic fertilizers for lawn and garden applications.
EcoChem natural
organic fertilizers are
produced using constituents derived from naturally occurring and
sustainable sources. Our pet safe lawn fertilizers
are highly efficient, have no adverse affect on the environment and
are not harmful to animals, plants and humans. In addition, they
can be manufactured, transported,
applied and disposed of safely. With innovations based on science, EcoChem
is helping to put the principles of sustainable lawn care into practice.
Typically, Lawns
fertilized with natural organic fertilizer recover relatively quick from moderate levels of
pest damage without the need for synthetic pesticides, herbicides
and
fungicides. When a disease or insect problem is suspected,
consider the potential health risks associated with synthetic
chemicals before applying
them. SEE HEALTH RISKS
To improve root mass and promote healthy grass and
turf growth use a low nitrogen, High Nutrient
Natural Organic Fertilizer.
Apply natural
organic fertilizers in early spring and again in late autumn.
Typically, this will provide an even supply of nutrients during the
growing season, and reduce winter kill.
Avoid the use of
quick release nitrogen fertilizers. Quick release nitrogen can increase moisture
requirements and decrease stress tolerance.
Grass clippings,
left on the lawn, can be a source of nutrients. As grass
clippings decompose, they can provide the equivalent of one
application of fertilizer per season.
Typically, a lawn
that is in good condition requires about 1 inch of water / week. In cooler
environments 0.5
inches / week might be sufficient.
Research has shown
foliar applied natural organic fertilizers provide a quicker response and are more
effective than soil
applied fertilizers.
Nitrogen
is vital for plant growth. It is abundant in the atmosphere and in
soil organic matter, but not in a form that plants can use.
Conventional methods of providing nitrogen to plants include (1)
adding nitrogen fertilizers to the soil, or (2) inoculating (coating)
seed with nitrogen fixing bacteria. Nitrogen fixing bacteria
convert atmospheric nitrogen to an inorganic form that is useable by
plants. In addition, they provide residual nitrogen, in the soil,
which can reduce or eliminate nitrogen fertilizer requirements for the
next growing season.
To promote rapid spring growth, apply
natural organic fertilizer in "early" spring.
Natural organic lawn fertilizer promotes both root and top growth.
When reseeding, apply two to three
pounds of grass seed / 1,000 square feet.
NOTE
Nitrogen:
promotes vegetative growth, green colour.
Phosphorus:
Promotes seedling growth and flowering.
Potassium:
Promotes root growth and hardiness and improves stress tolerance.
Iron:
Promotes green growth, root growth and reduces winter kill.
Dolomitic Lime:
Used to adjusts soil
pH and increase cation exchange capacity.
