Organic Lawn Fertilizer

The best organic lawn fertilizer is grass clippings. There is no reason to bag grass clippings to send them off to a landfill in or near your community. A lawnmower doesn't even need a grass catcher to do its intended purpose. The best lawnmowers on the market aren't even powered by gas and oil. They are powered by people pushing them. A manual mower will help you distribute your grass clippings evenly as organic lawn fertilizer.
You don't really need to buy any products for your lawn if you take care of it properly. Organic lawn fertilizer is better for the environment than any other option. If you really must buy a product, Ringer makes organic lawn fertilizer for use in the fall and spring.
Sometimes it requires a little bit of soil testing determining the proper organic lawn fertilizer to use. It is worth the effort and your lawn will look tremendous if you feed it what it needs.



Compost tea is a marvelous organic lawn fertilizer. You can make compost tea in a bucket in your back yard with compost and water. All you have to do is combine both and agitate once a day for a few days. This is wonderful for feeding a lawn. People who choose organic growing methods for their lawns and gardens are concerned with feeding the soil and not the plant. An organic lawn fertilizer will do just that, feed the soil.
Another option for organic lawn fertilizer is bat guano. It is sold in a five pound box and is a fast acting, natural source of soluble nutrients. It can be used as a foliar spray or as a solution of guano tea. The organic lawn fertilizer from California Organic Fertilizers is made from feather meal, bone meal, mined potassium sulfate and iron sulfate. This organic fertilizer is high in protein and is slow release. You only need to use 350 to 650 pounds per acre. If you find that your lawn is in serious need of organic lawn fertilizer, purchase Ringer and then use a third of what the package recommends every three weeks in the spring and fall. This will make your lawn very healthy and happy.
