ORGANIC LAWN FERTILIZERS & SERVICES
Organic Fertilizer for Lawns
How does Organo-Lawn’s approach to lawn care differ from chemical lawn care companies?
Organo-Lawn’s approach to lawn care is to feed the soil and the soil will feed the grass. Our organic lawn fertilizers are designed to stimulate beneficial microbial activity in the soil and we do this with plant-based organic products.
Chemical lawn care companies’ philosophy is to feed the plant using water-soluble nutrient sources. These chemical lawn fertilizer companies apply frequent applications of synthetic or salt-based nitrogen fertilizers. Initially, the lawns treated using chemicals will look healthy and green, but these lawn fertilizers only feed the plant and do nothing for the soil. The problem with the chemical lawn care company approach is that over time when the soil is eventually killed by the chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides, the grass will become completely dependent on frequent applications of chemical nitrogen fertilizer.
If the chemical lawn care companies stop performing their applications the lawn will become anemic and pale in color. Sometimes after using a chemical lawn care program for a year or longer, the lawn will begin to develop fungus problems like necrotic ring spot and the lawns will begin to look terrible. The only way to cure a chemical dependent lawn is to stop the chemical applications and rebuild the soil using organic lawn fertilizers. It typically will take 1-2 years to rebuild soil if the lawn is treated by a chemical lawn care company. This is because the beneficial microbial activity in the soil cannot be rebuilt overnight.
Organo-Lawn is the best organic lawn care company in Boulder. Our organic lawn fertilizers are ideal for Colorado lawns.

FAQ – Organic Fertilizer
When is the best time of year to apply organic fertilizer?
Organic lawn fertilizers can be applied at any time of year. The reason for this is if it is a truly organic fertilizer the nitrogen is in an organic state which means it must be broken down by microbial activity in the soil before it becomes available to the plant. Therefore, a true organic fertilizer cannot burn a lawn even if it is applied at an excessive application rate.
At Organo-Lawn we apply organic fertilizer with every application of our weed control. These lawn care services are typically spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Because our organic fertilizer is a slow release you never have to worry about it burning the lawn. We start applying Synergy with corn gluten meal in March and our last application of the year is performed in October.
What are compost teas?
Compost Tea is a liquid organic supplement made by steeping aged compost in water. A compost tea is teeming with a diverse population of beneficial microbial activity that can be applied to lawns, plants, and soils. Compost teas will introduce beneficial microbial activity to a new environment, but the conditions in the new environment must have a proper supply of food, air, moisture, and heat for the newly introduced microbes to survive.
Is organic fertilizer better than chemical?
Yes, organic fertilizers or natural lawn fertilizers are vastly superior to chemical fertilizers. Organic fertilizers stimulate beneficial microbial activity in soils as well as provide nutrients for the plant. Organic fertilizers provide a steady slow release of nutrients for the optimum development of plant roots.
Chemical lawn care companies’ philosophy of lawn care is to feed the plant. These companies give the lawn frequent applications of synthetic or salt-based nitrogen fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers are high in salt content which has been proven to microbes. Therefore, the more chemical fertilizers are used on a lawn the worse the soil quality will become and the faster the soil will die.
Can an organic fertilizer burn a lawn?
If the organic fertilizer is 100% organic slow release, then it cannot burn a lawn. The reason for this is organic nitrogen is only available to the plant when beneficial microbes break down the fertilizer and release the nitrogen into the soil. Therefore, true organic fertilizers are naturally slow nitrogen sources and the nitrogen is never released in quantities high enough to kill a lawn.
