Additional The Organic Lawn Care Manual Information
|
In the modern suburban landscape, beautiful, green lawns are perhaps the most ubiquitous feature of all. It’s difficult to imagine a friendly neighborhood without broad, clean stretches of neatly shorn grass. More and more in recent years, those lawns are evolving into organic systems as homeowners — concerned about the long-term effects of chemicals on their children, their pets, and the environment — turn to natural methods to keep their yards healthy and inviting, and, yes, still green and lush, too.
Paul Tukey, a self-confessed mowing addict, answers the growing demand for organic grass with a comprehensive volume of natural lawncare information. Step by step, he takes readers through the many elements that work together to form a healthy, organic lawn. Well-treated soil, fed properly with compost and natural fertilizers, is the foundation of every great lawn. Plant it with a grass cultivar matched properly to the climate and sunlight, nourish the soil and grass with the proper amount of water, and maintain the height with a good mower equipped with a sharp blade. A beautiful, naturally maintained lawn can be as simple as that.
An organic, healthy lawn is the best defense against weeds and pests, but when unwanted visitors creep in, Tukey is ready with Weed and Thug ID Guides and advice on dispatching them naturally or learning to live with the benign offenders. Tukey also provides helpful advice for lawnkeepers making the transition from a synthetic to an organic lawn system. It’s all here — everything today’s homeowner needs to keep his lawn off drugs, and make it an inviting living and play area for the whole family.

What Customers Say About The Organic Lawn Care Manual:

A great resource for anyone wanting to change to or improve their knowledge of organic lawn care. Well-written in an easy to follow style with plenty of information.
Great book. Covers all the basics (and more) for going green with your lawn. Would definitely recommend.
The book came exactly as promised -- promptly and in excellent condition, just as it was rated. Would definitely purchase again through this vendor.
The book is great and gives you ideas on how to "green" up your lawn.
Whether it's the pictures or the easy reading style this book has become my goto book for getting my new lawn up and running without chemicals. Anyone just getting into it should find this book an excellent introduction to chemical free lawns.Only drawback, the book is really an introduction. So for example if you really want to dive into creating different compost tea recipes or different ways to brew them, you would need to get another book.
