There’s an old adage that says if something is advertised as “Too Good To Be True”, then it usually is.
So what does this mean when it comes to the growing and nurturing of your lawn? Well, if you ask most conventional lawn care companies, they’ll tell you that what they do is turn your lawn into a virtually weed-free super-green paradise is that too good to be true.
But it’s what they don’t tell you that really tarnishes the promise.
Because what they don’t tell you is that once you sign on the dotted line with them you are automatically embroiled in a virtually endless cycle of chemical fertilization and chemical weed and insect spraying.
So for these companies, it really is too good to be true. But for their customers, it’s anything but.
This is mainly because the chemicals these companies use, slowly and steadily deplete the soil of the support for the needed nutrients for every second of every day it needs to allow the grass to grow deep roots and naturally eliminate weeds.
It’s also because this super saturation of fertilizers and chemicals is potentially quite harmful to your family and your pets, not to mention the seepage into the water tables and the added pollution that brings to the community’s water supply.
Finally it’s anything but too good to be true because while these products are good at making your grass grow fast, destroying weeds and insects, they do not work organically to add essential life and nutrients that the soil needs to sustain your grass and naturally eliminate weed and insect infestation.
How To Break This Endless Cycle
I started out in the same business I have just described to you, and as someone who cares about the earth and the quality of life that it can provide us, I very quickly became disillusioned with the Too Good To Be True mantra that all the chemical-based lawn care companies were chanting.
I knew there had to be a better way that actually was Too Good To Be True and that’s how I ended up researching and eventually converting my business to organic lawn care.
Once I started to understand the difference between the organic approach and the chemical approach to lawn care, my decision to become an organic lawn care expert was really a no-brainer.
The more I learned about how organic lawn care worked, the more I became convinced that the Too Good To Be True nature of the organic industry was the real deal.
Because instead of depriving and depleting the soil of the nutrients it needs to grow healthy grass, and naturally reduce the presence of weeds and their associated insect pests, the organic solution we use actually adds this life and nutrients to the soil and does so without any risk to family, pets or the ecology of the community.
Knowledge Is Power
It’s actually quite a simple proposition, and once people truly understand all the advantages that it offers, they get to say “It’s Too Good To Be True” and really mean it in the most positive sense possible.
The chemical lawn care business is built almost exclusively on what we call band-aid solutions. These are solutions that entail a great many applications of both chemical fertilizers and toxic weed and insect sprays, not just over an extended period of time…but forever.
This is quickly, in today’s world, becoming an outmoded business model because it’s part of the massive and useless cycle of using chemicals to solve organic problems and is, in a pretty substantial way, a part of what we see knocking the entire planet out of balance, leaving a myriad of new climate, weather and agricultural problems in its wake.
The organic solution we provide with our Safe Lawn Process is designed to restore the life and nutrient balance in the soil, which encourages strong, deep natural grass that eliminates weeds by using their own nutrients to crowd them out of existence.
But the best part of all is that this is a kind of healing process that will eventually result in making your lawn almost completely self-sustaining over time while eliminating the dangers to your family, your pets and your community’s ecology.
Too Good To Be True?
Well this is one proven exception to the adage we mentioned earlier. Once you learn even a little about how organic lawn care solutions work, you will start to see the chemical lawn care industry in a whole different light, and not a very flattering one, either.
