The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Organic Lawn Fertilizer

When you are starting out the lawn, you normally do not anticipate the amount of dedication that you might need to make a great lawn. With time however, you come to learn that you need to water your lawn, spread fertilizer on the and even mulch them. This time, we are going to look at a totally different subject: the disadvantages and the benefits of organic manure over the inorganic ones.

Benefits

Not-toxic

The first advantage of the organic manure over the inorganic ones is the fact that they are non-toxic. If you have happened to use the inorganic fertilizer for a long time, you will notice that there are fewer and fewer living things on the soil and some of these things can be very helpful. A good type of living thing that is usually destroyed by inorganic fertilizer is the earthworm. The earthworm helps in the aeration of the soil and is therefore a very important organism. When you use the organic alternative, you do not suffer from this problem.

Self-reliance

The other advantage of this is that it enables one to be self-reliant. Although there are plenty of commercial sources of the organic alternative, it is also very easy for you to make for yourself a bag of the same than for you to make a bag of inorganic fertilizer.

Does Not Burn The Lawn

When you apply the commercial one, you are likely to find yourself in a situation where the lawn is burnt. This usually happens to people who are doing it for the first time and do not understand the need to be careful when dealing with the same. With the organic fertilizer, you do not need to worry about this since it is not going to burn your lawn.

Disadvantages

Bulkiness

Contrary to popular belief, the organic alternative also has its own disadvantages. The first and most common disadvantage is that it is very bulky. This makes it a very difficult product to carry around and to transport from one place to another. The other commercial ones on the other hand, are not bulky but are instead compacted and hence suitable for transportation over long distances.

Pests and Diseases

If the manure has been prepared from so place where there was a disease or an infestation of pests, then it is very easy to have the same transported to your lawn. This might create a very big head ache for you since you will now be forced to look for ways of removing the weeds and the pests which in the first place were not even there.

These are not all the advantages and disadvantages that you will come across. There are many more and you can never arrive at perfection when it comes to this. All in all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and that is why organic fertilizers continue to be popular.
