Other responsibilities while using Organic Fertilizers

We have known that Organic Manure has many advantages compared to the chemical fertilizers. Follow precautions while using Organic manure for your lawn.

1. Water wisely :

You can reduce the water usage when using organic manure. Watering has to be done at the right time.Water early in the morning to prevent fungal disease and reduce evaporation loss.

2. Mow the grass high:

Always mow the grass 3 inches high only. Do not use dull blades for mowing. Use sharp edges to mow the lawn at the correct height. Mow often, to keep the grass height to the extent of 3 inches.

3. Leave the grass clippings in the lawn only

These clippings decompose and become good manure to the grass. These cuttings are an excellent source of nutrients and will help in increasing the nutrients in the soil.

4. Feed Responsibly :

All the organic manure packs come with a manual of how they are to be used. Organic manure takes time to break down and supply nutrients to the plants. So be patient and do not overdose your lawn with the fertilizer.
