All of my lawn care programs have been developed to reestablish the natural biology within your soil to create a thick, vigorous lawn and protect your family and environment from the harmful effects of chemical treatments. I don’t apply toxic chemicals because the organic systems work so well, there’s no need.
Superior (Best)
The Superior program is designed to be an all-inclusive approach to revitalizing your lawn in the shortest amount of time possible. This plan uses a blend of products and services which, when used together, greatly reduce soil compaction and increase the biological activity within your soil. Your lawn will receive: corn gluten meal, compost tea, soil activator, aeration, topdressing and overseeding.
Mille Lacs (Better)
This program takes a moderately aggressive approach to revitalizing lawns that have be depleted of nutrients due to neglect or the use of chemical treatments. Because these treatments are scaled back, positive visual results may take longer to be achieved. This program solely consists of compost tea applications.
Calhoun (Good)
This program works well if you are looking to save money or like to do the work yourself. Simply go to my home page and subscribe to Organic Bob’s Almanac and receive a monthly e-newsletter (April through November) that instructs you on what to do, when to do it and how and why to do it. The e-newsletter contains tips, contests, lots of info and fun stories to boot!
You may also select products or services from the following list in case you don’t want to do some things yourself or simply want more service:
Corn Gluten Meal (CG)
Corn Gluten Meal is an organic weed and fertilizer that prevents seeds from fermenting. Applications in the spring and fall help control crabgrass, creeping Charlie, dandelions and other insidious weeds.
Compost Tea (CT)
Our compost tea is brewed from the highest quality compost and other organic ingredients in a special aerobic process. Applications of compost tea provide your lawn with all the microbes, fungal elements and other organisms that are present in a healthy, mature ecology.
Spraying compost tea on your lawn will help to:
* Release nutrients already in your soil making them available for plants
* Aerate the soil and relieve compaction
* Correct soil conditions that sustain weed growth
* Improve germination and rooting of plantings
* Increase root and fungal development
* Provide greater access for water and roots to penetrate the soil.
Calcium Treatments (CaT)
The calcium treatments I use are a blend of engineered calcium types. The treatments correct a number of poor soil conditions that contribute to weed growth.
Calcium treatments help to:
* Release bound up nutrients already in the soil
* Relieve compaction
* Break up clay within the soil
* Balance the pH level
* Neutralize synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other salts thereby eliminating previously applied toxic lawn products.
