ECO FRIENDLY PET SAFE LAWN CARE Lawn disease can be prevented and potential danger to pets, humans and the environment can be reduced by implementing a proper eco friendly, pet safe, lawn maintenance program that addresses fertilization, drainage, watering and mowing. Typically, lawns thrive in well drained soils with high biomass levels and high organic matter. Excessive watering and fertilization (especially excessive nitrogen applications) can be problematic to most lawns. Eco friendly, pet safe lawn fertilizers can stimulate soil biomass and promote healthy root and shoot growth. Chemicals do not provide essential nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth. In fact, chemical fertilizers can kill soil biomass and inhibit plant growth. Fertilize at the right time of the year using complete fertilizers that satisfy the nutrient needs of the grass. Typically, eco friendly lawns 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 herbicides, pesticides and fungicides before applying them. Of interest, both the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Academy of Sciences have voiced concern about the dangers that pesticides pose to children. A California law now gives you the right to be notified before your child’s school uses a pesticide. |
