Wondering your thoughts on organic fert? I know the cost is a little higher than traditional ferts, but how are the results? Thinking about incorporating some organic apps into my program. We usually go with 1 lb N on fescue and bermuda and .25-.5 lb N on centipede.
I'm pretty sure there is a local place that will deliver compost by the yard, but can it be spread with a rotary spreader? I'm assuming the other products are pelletized. The recommendation for the compost I'm referring to is that it be worked into the soil, but that may not be absolutely necessary. The other stuff just sounds like it would be an easier approach.
I've also got got an area in front of my house with a lot of trees. I was planning to just blow the leaves off the yard, but I've been reading a lot of stuff lately that recommends mulching them into the yard.
I think my lawn would benefit greatly from a heavy dose of organic matter.
Does it need to be worked into the soil, or can you just spread it and leave it? Does it offer benefits beyond the organic products mentioned in this thread?
Ideally you want to till it in as deep as you reasonably can. That said, tilling is sometimes not an option so you are left with topdressing. How much you topdress depends on where you are applying it and for what reason.
Benefits = price to volume ratio
Also using local sources is a more sustainable approach.
I believe the "organic community" believes something being organic should come from an organic source. Since I would guess 90% of the people in Milwaukee(i think thats where its made) consume massive amounts on inorganic matter (mcdonalds, soda pop, lots and lots of synthetic preservatives) the microbes they are collecting have been feeding on inorganic waste. So they cant call it 100% organic.

That's odd... whenever I go into a public restroom in Milwaukee, it smells pretty organic to me...
Kidding aside, I'd like to see if there are residual evils in the turf that the stuff is used on... "The proof is in the pudding",,, is the measure that us astoundingly ignorant fools rely upon...
Most of what the "Organic Culture" has become is political correctness... political correctness is NOT rational thought, and those afflicted can't recognize a world outside their little PC Box, so they become violently disrespectful to real people with real logical thought... political correctness was a joke until the late 80s and early 90s... now we are as clever as Russia was under Stalin... I expect to hear from our resident Brown Shirt any minute now...
