organic compost

Tom Szaky, CEO of organic fertilizer company Terracycle, on why composting is a win-win for every American.

If you've ever walked barefoot through a lush, thick, healthy green grass lawn, you've probably caught the bug. The bug that drives us all. Having a beautiful lawn full of deep soft grass is probably the dream of almost everyone. Most of us however, feel it's too difficult to attain. In reality though, it's fairly simple to do. You'll need to give it time and attention of course, but it will be worth it in the end.

The first step to having a deep lush green lawn naturally is to prepare the soil for the best possible results. It's a good idea to test the pH levels of your soil, and you can do this by getting a soil testing kit from your local nursery or garden center.

If your soil pH is not quite right, you'll want to enrich it with some natural compost, or by adding some natural elements to it such as lime or sulphur. Ask your local garden center specialists which elements need to be added based on your soil test results, and they're usually happy to help.
