You may have heard the saying “healthy soil, healthy plants,” but what exactly does that mean? At Stangl’s Enviro Lawn Care, we believe that soil health is the key to achieving a beautiful, healthy lawn. But what is soil health, and how can you improve it?
Think of soil health like the health of your body. Just as a healthy diet and exercise can improve your overall health, a healthy soil biology can improve plant growth and health. And just like your body, your lawn needs a balanced diet to thrive.
When we first assess your lawn, we take a look at the soil’s composition. We measure things like the ratio of fungi to bacteria and the levels of nutrients present. This helps us understand the current state of your soil’s health.
If your soil is compacted and lacks organic matter, it’s like your lawn is on life support. Without a healthy soil biology, plants struggle to access the nutrients they need to grow and thrive. That’s why we use natural methods to promote soil health, like promoting nutrient cycling through the use of products like Nature’s Brew and Pelletized Ultimate Compost.
Nature’s Brew is a liquid compost ectract that contains a blend of beneficial microorganisms that break down organic matter and convert it into plant-available nutrients. Pelletized Ultimate Compost is a soil amendment that contains a blend of organic matter, and essential nutrients to fuel the life within the soil. By applying these products to your lawn, we can help promote healthy soil and reduce the need for additional fertilizers and pesticides.
But improving soil health is not a one-time fix. It’s a lifestyle, just like eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. That’s why we recommend regular soil testing and adjustments to our treatment plans. Applying Pelletized Ultimate Compost, aerating to remove a core, applying grass seed, and spraying our Nature’s Brew compost extract with lunch box (minerals for the turf and soil life) all work together to boost momentum and promote soil health.
The benefits of healthy soil are numerous. Healthy soil structure allows roots to grow deeper and access more nutrients and water, leading to healthier plants. Increased organic matter improves soil fertility over time, reduces the need for additional fertilizers, and helps retain moisture and nutrients. And, by reducing the need for fertilizers and pesticides, we can help reduce your environmental footprint.
In conclusion, soil health is the key to achieving a beautiful, healthy lawn. By promoting nutrient cycling and improving soil health, we can help you achieve a lawn that is not only visually stunning but also environmentally friendly.
