Your lawn has become hungry. Water has gone up in cost, your thatch is thick, your soil is hard as a rock and the water rolls off after 10 minutes. The weeds are having babies right in your lawn and you think you may have created a few new species. The yard dries out after just a few days and you have a breakout of leaf blight a couple times a year and now you have spots in your lawn that look like someone laid doughnuts all over the place. If it wasn’t any worse you are paying for this action and you have been told that another application of that stuff you really do not want to expose your family and pets will do the trick. WTH? When does the solution come?
Is this smart? It sounds like something is off but this is the system tat has been in place for the last 6 decades or so. It is inefficient, expensive, toxic and does not solves the root problems, just the symptoms. This is what you are dealing with. Even if your lawn looks “good” it is very inefficient, wasting 20-50% of your resources maintaining the fun. True health is really determined by how well the nutrients get from the soil into the plant tissue. This can be determined by a tissue test but who does that? Grass takes 21 elements to be healthy and synthetic fertilizers only have a few of those, trust me nitrogen is not the solution for everything.
So wat now? Do you keep on with the status quo or do you change? If you have any semblance of self preservation, you should look for a solution. This is a really good time to talk to you about the Organic Biological Regenerative Method, or the Biological Method for short. Rather than using man made inorganic chemicals to force feed the grass it uses organic nutrients to feed the soil and grow a microbial population that can cycle resources for the atmosphere and the soil. This is nature’s operating system and if one fixes the soil and turns on the power of the biology your cost of ownership drops precipitously and the issues that you have been suffering almost all fade away.
Do you persist with the status quo or do you seek a solution?
