Maintaining the soil by mechanical actions is not enough. The areas designed to grow vegetable and other plants must be permanently cared for and the quality of the soil improved to ensure high fertility, especially true for drought tolerant grass areas . The basic methods to achieve this goal are soil fertilization and irrigation. Vegetables typically take from the soil large amounts of nutrients, in a short period of time. Among the agro-technical measures that contribute to increasing the production of vegetables and improving their quality, the correct application of organic and mineral fertilizers has a very important role. Excessive fertilization can lead to product quality degradation and increased pollution of the soil and groundwater, therefore it is essential to balance the application of organic fertilizers with mineral fertilizers. The soil in your garden likes a whole range of organic and mineral fertilizers, especially in the form of solutions or granules. Liquid fertil...

Winter is knocking on the door, bringing with it uncertain climatic conditions. It can be very cold, with a lot of snow but also rainy with many temperature fluctuations. In each case, the lawn is exposed to significant stress. To support the lawn to overcome these conditions, we must provide it appropriate organic lawn care products for winter nutrition . In addition to regular trimming and watering, fertilization is also required. Usually the lawn is fertilized approximately 3 times a year: in spring (March - April), summer (June - August) and autumn (September - October). The most effective is autumn fertilization. Why? Because the lawn will make a stock of carbonate hydrates. This will keep it strong during the winter and push it to grow abundantly in the spring. The fertilizer develops the roots, increases the resistance of the grass to frost, reduces the risk of fungal diseases that typically attack the grass, increases the lawn`s resistance to drought and other stress factors,...

We are generally accustomed to the idea of spring lawn fertilization, but do not let the cooler temperatures fool you. Autumn is actually the best season for this operation which does not take too long, but it is very efficient; it strengthens the roots of the lawn, providing a solid foundation to thrive next spring. Two fertilizer applications are required to prepare the lawn for the winter. Early in September, the lawn usually recovers after the warm and dry summer, so you will want to give it a dose of fertilizer to accelerate the growth of the leaves. While this September dose is important, a further application at the end of October or early in November is essential. Lawn fertilizers will push the growth of roots throughout November and even early December. By helping roots to grow before winter comes, you will ensure a quicker apparition of the grass in the spring. The bonus is an increased resistance to disease and drought.  You can find some of the best lawn fertilizers ...

The quality of the soil determines in a fairly large proportion the plants ` aspect and growth. The soil needs great attention throughout the year. It must be watered and fertilized, cleaned and cared for permanently, so that it provides your crops all the nutrients they need. Any gardener, be it beginner or experienced, knows that in order to have a beautiful garden the next year, you have to take care of the soil in the autumn. Applying fall fertilizer is necessary, no matter how rich the soil is. Plants need fertilizers not only at the surface of the soil but also for their roots. Nutrient elements influence the growth and development of vegetables and ornamental plants, fruit trees and shrubs. Fall is the best time to concentrate on those brown spots in the grass and apply fertilizer and seed to make them green for Spring. Vegetables are the most demanding in terms of nutrients, and, at the same time, they are depleting the soil rapidly in the context of high production on the su...

Lawn that receives fertilization during fall is much stronger, much healthier and much greener than turf that needs to rely on its own resources to survive the winter and to revive in spring. Fall fertilization is the process of applying a fertilizer with high nutrient content before the grass loses its green leaves and goes dormant before freezing weather settles in. The process is beneficial in a number of ways - here is how and why your lawn will be grateful for the fertilization you give it in fall: - Better color in fall and in winter – turf that is fertilized in late fall maintains its color for longer, allowing lawn owners to enjoy their fall landscape; - Earlier revival – lawn fertilized with organic liquid fertilizer before the first frost will come back to life earlier; - Increased shoot density – lawn that receives late-fall fertilization will be thicker the following year; - A more gentle fertilization process – with late-fall fertilization, turf owners can avoid the a...
