Core Aeration, Plugging, Aeration, Spiking… Call it what you
may…but you really can’t argue its benefits.
This morning we were on a “webinar” with a new company offering their
products. To me it seemed like these
people had mixed some materials together and slapped the key word “Organic” on
it and were ready to sell. Heck one of products
had “60 Strains” of beneficial soil microorganisms in it…”60”. I thought to myself what’s going to happen
when his competitor comes up with “65
Strains”? Wouldn’t that just pollinate this
petunias J Don’t get me wrong, there are great
improvements being made in the organic field every day. But where does the consumer reap the benefit? What in the extra price or just the knowledge
of knowing there are 60 Strains of beneficial microorganisms on their grass?
I dare say that my 24 plus years of experience of lawns and
what to do, when and why, my old fashion balanced organic fertilizer and a core
aeration and cast seeding in the fall and my lawns will look just as good if
not better. Who knows maybe I’ll give
the “60 Strains” of beneficial soil microorganisms a whirl…until, that’s right,
his competitor
comes up with “65”. J
