The Schedule: Because Healthy Turf 8-1-9 is a slow-release fertilizer, and because our practice of not bagging out clippings generates “up to 25 percent of your lawn’s total fertilizer needs” -- according to studies conducted at OSU -- we need to fertilize your lawn with this product only four times during the entire season:

In fact, we're back at it harder than ever before -- and your lawn’s likely to look better this year than it ever has before! Why? Because this is the year we’re introducing Sweet & Simple’s Complete Care Organic Fertilizer Program into our long list of lawn-healthy services.

What’s that mean for you? It means the lawn-maintenance firm that keeps your yard precisely cut and trimmed for 32 weeks every year will now be responsible for its health and well-being in addition to its appearance. And, when I say responsible, I mean responsible -- in an Earth Friendly, environmentally conscious way that’s better for you, the family, the planet and -- for us.

Truth is, we’ve been working on top of synthetic fertilizers applied by other companies for years now, and the combination of toxic herbicides, pesticides and fast-release nitrogen contained in those mixtures is neither healthy nor safe -- for anybody or anything that comes in contact with it. We can do better than that, and because we’re in touch with your lawn on a continual basis all season long, it’s better for all of us if we do.

Of course, our program wouldn’t be possible without the right organic fertilizer to spread. After considerable searching, we now believe we’ve located the perfect product: PHC Healthy Turf 8-1-9 -- an organic biofertilizer derived from entirely natural ingredients that slowly releases nutrients as it biodegrades, increases the organic content of your soil and releases minerals from organic matter into the root zone of your yard. Beyond that, it will not burn surrounding flowers or plants, and it will do absolutely no harm to humans, pets or the planet. It’s the right stuff for us and for you and your lawn -- period.

Truth be told, however, organic products such as Healthy Turf 8-1-9 are not cheap. However, the reason we chose this product is because it has a good spread rate and slow release rate, which allows us to apply less of it while still producing good results.
