Landscape Management, December 2014

FeeDbAcK BUILDING A LAWN Thanks for the article on organic lawn care in the November issue Were a small design build frm that added organic lawn care no synthetics are used at all Our company believes in doing no harm Organics arent hard to employ but it takes a wellrounded education on soil plants and weather Organics require a different mindset of the applicator Weeds bugs and fungus are telling you the applicator what the soil needs Contrary to the article compost tea is one of the most effective ways to grow good plants Organic lawn care is a money maker but probably not for traditional LCOs A design build company is better suited due to the equipment they already have and the crews understanding of the concept of building a lawn Eric Hart foreman Hartscapes Eldersburg Md December
