Safe Lawn Fertilizer for Children
- Child-safe lawn fertilizers are made from organic materials. These are plant based materials which have been composted to make a natural fertilizer that is healthy for both children and your lawn.
- Because organic fertilizer is a natural substance, more of the nutrients are absorbed into the soil. This means you will have to apply the fertilizer less frequently, which leads to a reduced cost per year. While the price per application is higher for organic fertilizer, the cost is equalized through this reduced application frequency.
- When applying organic fertilizers to your lawn, it is necessary to maintain your lawn to reduce the risk of weeds and pests damaging the lawn between applications. This is accomplished by frequent mowing to no less than 2.5 inches. You need to mow frequently so you aren't shocking the fertilized lawn by cutting too much of the blade length. Cutting to less than 2.5 inches can cause damage to the root structure.
