Instead of using Chemical Fertilizer on our lawn this Spring we used CORN GLUTEN!
It worked AMAZING! If you take a peek at the part of our lawn that touches our neighbors, it's definitely darker, healthier, and it grows twice as fast. Our other neighbor used chemical fertilizers on their lawn and our lawn looks exactly the same!
The little orange pellets dissolve over about a month!
Here's before:
Here's after the corn gluten!
I'm in favor of earth-friendly lawn care, but I'm not sure I'd want our grass to grow twice as fast as it already does! :) How often do you mow?!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find that? I'd definitely be interested in trying it if I can find it locally!
ReplyDeleteWe mow the lawn twice a week but that's only because Lee is Lawn crazy :) we could definitely get away with once a week!
ReplyDeleteWe found it at our local nursery, not like a home depot but an actual nursery, it was at both our local nurseries infact, I think it's fairly common :)
hope that helps :)
Yah for chemical-free fertilizer!
ReplyDeleteWe make our own compost (from lawn clippings, leaves, fruit & veggie left-overs,and chicken manure). We spread the compost over our lawn a couple times a year. The lawn loves the added nitrogen too!
Good to know! I will have to see if we can find that locally.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would be all over that if he knew about it! He doesn't believe in using chemicals. Your garden beds are fabulous!

Can we see the rest of your yard? The after pic is cut off. Am curious to see the rest of the yard.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!! I'm just afraid my dog would try to eat it!
ReplyDeleteYou can definitely see the rest of the yard, the next sunny day I'll snap some pic's. Looks like we won't have sun until the weekend so look for a monday or tuesday post !!! :)
ReplyDeleteMax never tried to eat it, but my sisters dog gobbled up a couple pieces, she's still fine :) haha
I love the little tower/ vegie climber things in the first pic!
ReplyDeletethe lawn looks great
this is very exciting! i don't own a home yet, and wont for about 5 years until we return home from sydney, australia, but i do have a weird folder on my computer called "future dream home ideas" this is definitely being added into that folder!
