Tea, its not just for breakfast anymore.
Landscaper Rich Staudt, who owns Complex Landscape Care & Design in Westbury, brews a tea of bacteria, fungi and protozoa that he uses as lawn food.
The organic product costs more than standard chemical lawn food, but it does not harm the environment by polluting groundwater.
In fact, Staudt says the organic landscaping movement has hit the mainstream.
From the Associated Press story:
He says organic lawn care is no longer just something for what he calls “tofu-munching tree-huggers.” But going green costs a little more green. Organic lawn care runs 15 to 20% more than the usual chemicals.
Finally. I cannot believe people still use Scott’s and all these chemical based fertilizers. With all the horse farms on LI, there is plenty of manure to go around. Amazing how such a simple solution is overlooked by the average American. GO ORGANIC!!!
