7 Organic Lawn Care Tips to Try This Year

Conduct a soil test to understand its pH level and nutrient composition. This helps determine the appropriate organic fertilizers and amendments needed for your lawn.

Soil Testing

 Start a compost pile or bin to recycle kitchen scraps, grass clippings, and yard waste. Use the finished compost as a natural, nutrient-rich soil amendment for your lawn.

Composting

 Start a compost pile or bin to recycle kitchen scraps, grass clippings, and yard waste. Use the finished compost as a natural, nutrient-rich soil amendment for your lawn.

Grasscycling

Set your mower to a higher cutting height to encourage stronger grass growth. Additionally, mow your lawn regularly, removing only the top third of the grass blades to promote healthier root systems.

Mow high and frequently

Instead of bagging your grass clippings, let them decompose on the lawn. They act as a natural fertilizer, returning nutrients to the soil and helping to retain moisture.

Leave grass clippings on the lawn

Water your lawn deeply, allowing the water to penetrate the soil rather than watering lightly and frequently. This encourages deeper root growth and makes your lawn more resilient to drought conditions.

Water deeply and infrequently

Opt for organic or natural fertilizers instead of synthetic ones. Look for products made from compost, manure, or other organic materials. These fertilizers release nutrients slowly, promoting steady growth without harming the environment.

Use natural fertilizers

Compacted soil can hinder grass growth by restricting water and air circulation. Use a lawn aerator to create small holes in the soil, allowing nutrients and oxygen to reach the grassroots.
