Fertilizer Classes
Most Organic programs fail because they cannot offer enough food to maintain good vigor and the crop suffers. Weed infiltration is the biggest issue when vigor is lost. Most organic programs begin with good intentions only to require additional chemical remedies because of the declining turf. Although made up of natural elements, if a synthetic program is not managed correctly these elements can have a negative effect on our environment. Without organic material present in the soil, water and nutrients will leach through and can pose a threat to our water sources. Although more of an issue with cheap, soluble fertilizer in poorly managed properties, we should all be mindful.
Our process is to marry the best of both types of fertilizer. By blending our fertilizers with both slow-release synthetic ammonia fertilizer and an insoluble organic fertilizer, we can offer a product that has less impact on the environment while at the same time building better soil. This process is exciting because we already know what each type of fertilizer can do and how they benefit turfgrass individually. We also know that one does not work without the other. The best thing is that both types work better together while at the same time offering a safer, more responsible choice that works!
