2 Comments

 
We compiled the ultimate organic lawn care service guide to help you with your lawn and landscaping. This guide is yours absolutely FREE. It is up to date to the most recent science concerning sustainable lawn and landscape management to support healthy plants, soil, and clean environment. This guide has been updated for 2019.

THE ULTIMATE FREE ORGANIC  BEST PRACTICES LAWN CARE SERVICE GUIDE

GENERAL GUIDE:
Water infrequently.
Check soil nutrients regularly.
Fertilize accordingly.
Sharpen blades everytime you mow.


January:
This is the best time to do landscaping work!


February:
  1. Turn existing mulch. If laying new mulch, lay cardboard boxes first to suppress weeds. This is a practice we borrowed from permaculture.
  2. Aerate the lawn with core aeration & lay organic top dressing.

March: (turn on sprinklers!)
  1. Spread organic corn gluten fertilizer to your lawn and plant beds to suppress unwanted vegetation, and then water immediately!
  2. Spring cleanup: prune shrubs & trees; clean plant beds.

April:
  1. Use organic tree fertilizer for shrubs & trees; spray Actively Aerated Compost Tea (AACT) Treatment on the foliage for disease suppression.
  2. Mowing: set mower height to at least 3”, and always mulch clippings. If you have weeds popping up, bag clippings to suppress it.

May: Ask us for your FREE SOIL TEST before spreading organic lawn fertilizers & spraying with AACT. Why? You may not need fertilization this month! Do not over-fertilize. Movable nutrients from fertilizers of any kind will simply leach into our natural rivers and lakes.

June: Deep watering begins & set mowing height to 4”. You will increase your chances of getting weeds if you mow any lower.

July:
  1. Recheck soil nutrients with our FREE SOIL TEST first before spreading lawn fertilizer & respraying with AACT. Remember, the dates are GUIDES only. Your lawn's total immediately available nutrients is what we are looking for.
  2. Fertilize shrubs & trees as needed, & respray with AACT. You can check the foliage for any signs of malnutrition.

August: Summer cleanup: prune shrubs & trees; clean plant beds.

September:
  1. OVERSEED & spread organic lawn fertilizer & spray with AACT. Make sure to check the soil nutrient levels first before fertilizing.
  2. Return to normal watering levels & set mowing height back to at least 3”.

October: Fall cleanup: prune shrubs & trees; clean plant beds.

November: Reapply organic lawn fertilizer & AACT treatment as needed. If it's a hot winter, apply corn gluten fertilizer to prevent seeds from rooting.

December:
  1. Winter cleanup: prune shrubs & trees; clean plant beds.
Blow off & turn off sprinklers if freeze warning is in effect.
