What is New

What does organic lawn care have to do with a blog about Canada. Well I have traveled most of the country and have found that people overall really care about their lawns. But with all the chemicals and fertilizers that we pore on it yearly it will take a toll on the environment which is a concern to all of us.

Some of the things we all can do is purchase the proper grass seeds for our organic lawns, that is grass that is designed for our local weather conditions. Getting the wrong seeds can make a lawn look a certain way but it can also add a lot of extra watering, fertilizing, and cutting to make it look good. The proper lawn seed will grow to the weather conditions of the area, being it will naturally go into hibernation at parts of the year when water may be more scarce. Organic fertilizers will work over longer periods of time helping the grass grow at a nice steady pace. Cutting the grass at 3 inches will provide a better lawn for growing conditions.

In walking in neighbourhoods I have seen these professional lawn care companies with the workers wearing masks and once they finish the lawns put signs on them warning people to stay off the grass for usually 24 hours because of the toxicity of  what they put on the grass. Now how can that be good for the environment, our kids, our animals and the wild animals that inhabit our areas. What long term health effects is going to happen?

Nice lawns and yards is important to all of us but so it the eco system we all live in. By making some changes to the way you do your lawn care you can go along way to making our environments healthier for now and the future. For more information go to anuplanet.com.
