Are there environmentally friendly lawn fertilizers?
Yes, it is definitely possible to find environmentally friendly lawn fertilizers. The first step, though, to weaning your garden off of chemical dependence (a dependence on chemical lawn fertilizers) is to develop a health lawn. You can do this by improving the soil (buy a pH tester and go from there). Also, use a locally adapted grass. It is good to mow your lawn, but do not keep it too short. Do not water your lawn too often – rather, when you do water, water deeply (it will encourage your lawn to develop a deep root system, making it hardier). An example of an environmentally friendly lawn fertilizer is Spring Lawn’s Alive! For other environmentally friendly lawn fertilizers, contact a local gardening store.
