| Why organic fertilizers outperform chemical fertilizers Traditional lawn fertilization practices certainly cause surface and Groundwater pollution, but banning the application of certain nutrients is not the answer. The application of both Nitrogen and phosphorus can be problematic. Chemical fertilizers that are highly concentrated cause water pollution even when they are applied at the recommended rates if a heavy rain or too much irrigation are applied soon after they are applied. However, many homeowners do not calibrate their fertilizer spreaders or just throw fertilizer on their lawns by hand which is the most likely cause of most of the nutrient loading in lakes. The real answer to this dilemma is to start using more sustainable practices and natural products. The recycling of nutrients through the return of grass clippings (using a mulching mower) stimulates soil biological activity and supplies at least 2 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per year without causing any pollution. The application of low levels of natural forms of nutrients such as fish, kelp, humates and corn gluten meal stimulates the proliferation of microbes and earthworms which readily convert these forms of nutrients before they ever enter lakes. As these creatures in the soil multiply they excrete nutrients and die or are eaten and digested and excreted by other organisms which releases nutrients slowly as plants need them. An actual comparison of two types of fertilizer, one that is natural and one that is chemical, illustrates the difference. One homeowner applies 30-5-10 fertilizer to their lawn at 20 pounds per 5,000 square feet and their neighbor applies 1 quart (2.3 pounds) of fish-kelp humate fertilizer per 5,000 square feet. The natural fertilizer puts 0.0184 pounds and 0.013 pounds of phosphate per 1,000 square feet into the soil. The naturally fertilized lawn is more drought and pest resistant and uses less water, so it needs to be irrigated less often. The natural fertilizer stimulates biological activity which creates stable soil aggregates enabling the roots to go deeper and become better developed which keeps nutrients in the root zone. The chemical fertilizer puts 1.2 pounds of nitrogen and 0.2 pounds of phosphate per 1,000 square feet into the soil (65 times more nitrogen and 15 times more phosphate than the natural fertilizer). The chemically fertilized lawn is water hungry and needs constant irrigation because the grass relies on the chemical to supply the nutrients. The chemical toxifies the soil inhibiting biological activity which results in compacted soil and an unhealthy root environment. Most of the nutrients are free to flow over the compacted surface into the surface water or past the restricted root zone into the ground water (research shows that 92-96% of high analysis chemical fertilizers are not taken up by plants). Fertilization in itself is not inherently bad but the type and amount of fertilization is the key to producing healthy lawns and eliminating water pollution. Remember nitrogen and phosphate are present in all ecosystems, but nature knows how to hold them and make them readily available when they are needed. There are many more subsequent problems which result from the use of chemical fertilizers. Issues of pest control, weed problems and even health issues such as allergies, and nervous system problems could be totally avoided and prevented using organic solutions. Please see our section on soil preparation to get started using AGGRAND Liquid Organic Fertilizer. April 16th, 2007 - This morning one of the neighbors across from our back yard (across a drainage ditch) totally scalped his lawn bagging it 100% after passing over it for two hours on a riding mower with a heavy duty vac system attached. This lawn has no chance for sustaining life on its own if we end up in a drought condition this summer and I am guessing the homeowner is planning to fortify the lawn with bagged high analysis fertilizers. It will be a sickly soil with blades of grass. Nothing you would want to walk across. He will need to control weeds and grubs and spend extra time and money. I immediately took a picture of his yard to compare later in the year. On a side note his landscaper (these were lawn professionals) used a 2-cycle edge trimmer billowing choking bluish smoke in a 15 foot cloud above and around his head. Too bad he hasn't heard of our parent company AMSOIL INC who's 2-cycle 100:1 synthetic oil prevents that situation totally. See Pricing Information or Place Order or Call Mike at 877-760-9048.
