I am going to offer some organic alternatives to my customers this year. I have read where organics require less Nitrogen then most common programs. This makes sense, seeing how before folks were fertilizing their lawns, the natural growth process of grass growing, being cut, or dying kept the plant alive.
In my region I shoot for about 4lb's N in my sunny lawns per year, with a bit less for those in shady areas.
Any suggestions on amounts of N to use when using Organics? I assume that over time, the longer you use the Organics, the less product you will need, at least within reason?
I will likely be using pre-packaged products to begin with, with some experimentation. Any thoughts on Earthworks products, or the Sustane products would be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch
