Introduction
At Stangl’s Enviro Lawn Care, we’ve been singing the praises of regenerative lawn care for years, and now, the wisdom of Dr. Thomas Dykstra and Glen Ravenberg from Soil Works LLC backs us up with a goldmine of insights! Their recent discussion is a treasure trove that aligns perfectly with our philosophy. Get ready for an “I told you so” moment as we dive into how their findings validate our approach—and why your Niagara lawn deserves this revolution!
The Soil Truth: Solving, Not Reacting
For too long, I chased quick fixes with fertilizers and sprays, but I’ve learned the hard way—treating symptoms isn’t the answer. Dr. Dykstra and Glen confirm what we’ve known: healthy soil is the foundation. Their talk highlights how building soil structure with carbon and organic matter reduces pests and diseases naturally. Deeper roots, better water retention—it’s the long game I’ve been preaching, and their expertise proves it works!
Brix Levels and Weeds: Nature’s Healers
Dr. Dykstra’s focus on Brix levels—measuring plant sugar content—hits home. High Brix (above 10) means healthier plants with fewer weed issues, saving you from costly chemicals. Glen’s revelation that weeds like dandelions are soil’s mechanics, not enemies, echoes our stance. They health up the soil, pulling calcium and carbon where needed—I told you they weren’t the villains! Their data backs our Nature’s Brew approach, nurturing soil life over sprays.
Carbon Credits and Microbial Magic
The duo’s skepticism about carbon credits needing reliable measurement? Spot on. But their excitement about microbes turning CO2 into plant food at high carbon-to-nitrogen ratios (16:1 to 20:1) is where we shine. At Stangl’s, we’ve been boosting soil respiration since 2017 with the Johnson-Su Bioreactor. Their “CPR respiration”—the soil’s heartbeat—validates our methods. I told you soil biology is key, and now science agrees!
Plasma Fertilizer: The Future Is Now
Starting April 2025, our game-changing plasma fertilizer (no salt, rolling out with 7 applications) takes this further. We’re tracking data across all lawns, set for a Winter 2025-’26 release, proving its impact. Dr. Dykstra’s insights on calcium and phosphorus fueling Brix align with our strategy—I told you we’re ahead of the curve! This isn’t just lawn care; it’s a movement for Niagara’s health.
Conclusion: Join the Revolution
I told you so—healthy soil transforms lives. From my early spray days to this regenerative leap, Stangl’s is leading with nature’s wisdom.
