After receiving many comments on our Blog, emails, phone calls and personal contacts on job sites concerning outright purchase of our liquid lawn care products, we decided to look into providing our products at the retail level.  Layoffs, high unemployment and concerns about the economy have prompted many to try to reduce lawn and garden expenses without compromising the aesthetic value of their properties.

Do to the need and expense of Lawn care equipment such as aerators, dethatchers, fertilizer spreaders and such, many thought it was beyond their means and capabilities.  We have commercial sprayers for our organic liquid lawn care products that are out of the realm of the average homeowner ($1,800.00+).  Mechanical dethatchers and aerators run hundreds of dollars and require a lawn tractor to operate.  Many property owners have only walk behind lawn mowers.

We carry a full line of organic lawn and garden care products.

A soil conditioner, also called a soil amendment, is a material added to soil to improve plant growth and health. A conditioner or a combination of conditioners corrects the soil's deficiencies in structure and-or nutrients.

All of our liquid fertilizers are supplemented with a natural nutrient package derived from Seaweed, Humic Acids, and Molasses. What this means to you is that you are getting a soil improving fertilizer with added vitamins, bio-stimulants, and trace elements. Each product contains vitamins B-1, B-12, gibberellins (plant hormones that regulate growth and influence stem elongation, germination, dormancy, flowering, sex expression, enzyme induction, and leaf and fruit senescence (biological aging is the change in the biology of an organism as it ages after its maturity including energy storage for winter survival) classified on the basis of structure as well as function), indoles (a five-membered nitrogen-containing pyrrole ring essential for chlorophyll production and regulation) , auxins (plant hormones which are classified on the basis of function) as well as trace elements of boron, iron, zinc, cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum and sulfur.

The nutrients in our liquid fertilizers are chelated, meaning they are instantly available to the plant. Our NPK sources are salt and chlorine free, which means safe for the plant and soil. In fact, all our raw materials used in our liquid fertilizers are classed as food grade materials.

Healthy Soil Nurtures Healthy Lawns

Soil health is defined by its ability to perform essential ecosystem functions such as: biolife, nutrient cycling, water filtration, and habitat provision for plants and animals. Properties that determine soil health include texture, depth, density, water infiltration and holding capacity, amount of organic matter, nutrient holding capacity and respiration.

Soil and environmental health is drastically affected by the application of any inorganic fungicide, herbicide or pesticide.  When such applications become the norm, soil health is continually impaired due to loss of biodiversity (they kill off biolife).  The relationship between biolife in soil and life of plants, such as lawn turf, is inseparable. 

Chemical N-P-K fertilizers may make a lawn green, but a green lawn is not necessarily a healthy lawn.  Less than 40% of N-P-K fertilizer is utilized.  The rest ends up in water supplies, rivers and lakes.

One in seven people are negatively impacted by chemical lawn care products, the largest percentage of which are children due to their small body mass, proximity to the ground and undeveloped immune systems.

Soil biolife consists of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes and arthropods.

Bacteria are tiny, one-celled organisms – generally 4/100,000 of an inch wide (1 µm) and somewhat longer in length. What bacteria lack in size, they make up in numbers. A teaspoon of productive soil generally contains between 100,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 bacteria.  They:

·         Decompose organic matter

·         Form symbiotic partnerships with plants

Fungi are microscopic cells that usually grow as long threads or strands called hyphae, which push their way between soil particles, roots, and rocks. Hyphae are usually only several thousandths of an inch (a few micrometers) in diameter. Single hyphae can span in length from a few cells to many yards. A few fungi, such as yeast, are single cells.  They

·         Decompose cellulose and wood

·         Mobilize, or retain, nutrients in the soil

·         Help increase the accumulation of humic-acid rich organic matter that is resistant to degradation and may stay in the soil for hundreds of years.

·         Colonize plant roots. In exchange for carbon from the plant, mycorrhizal fungi help solubolize phosphorus and bring soil nutrients (phosphorus, nitrogen, micronutrients, and perhaps water) to the plant

·         Help control diseases

Protozoa are single-celled animals that feed primarily on bacteria, but also eat other protozoa, soluble organic matter, and sometimes fungi. They are several times larger than bacteria – ranging from 1/5000 to 1/50 of an inch (5 to 500 µm) in diameter. As they eat bacteria, protozoa release excess nitrogen that can then be used by plants and other members of the food web.

WHAT DO PROTOZOA DO? 

Protozoa play an important role in mineralizing nutrients, making them available for use by plants and other soil organisms

·         Regulate bacteria populations

·         Are an important food source for other soil organisms

·         Help to suppress disease by competing with or feeding on pathogens

·         Stimulate the succession of species

·         Control pests

The organic substances produced by biological nutrient cycling have an ionic charge that holds nutrients in soil. When there is little organic matter in soil, nutrients are easily leached out.

Biolife also creates an adhesive effect that strengthens soil aggregates, improving structure so that soil is not easily broken down by water and blown away by wind.

Soil biology can increase a field’s water-holding capacity by adjusting the chemistry and physical properties of a soil. As the organisms consume and excrete organic matter, they produce the substances that glue soil particles together. Adding organic matter, and the biology to process it, changes the chemistry of the soil to increase the clay content. Because clay particles are magnitudes smaller than sand particles, the spaces between them are smaller as well. When water is caught in smaller pore spaces, it is less likely to drain out because it is held by the forces of adhesion. Cultivating soil to increase water-holding capacity saves money on irrigation and prevents leaching of nutrients.

The most productive systems in the world are the ones with the most flourishing biology because nutrients are being cycled in a way that is supportive to every aspect of the environment. Insects and worms shred dead plant matter, creating increased surface area for bacteria and fungi to consume and decay. Larger organisms eat the bacteria and fungi and excrete excess nutrients, making them available to plants. Plants grow from these nutrients and eventually deposit more dead organic matter for the microbes to continue to cycle.
