Increase Organic Matter In Lawns

One of the great products to increase Organic Matter is Sustane Fertilizer.

Rich Hawkes from Sustane fertilizers

Organic matter will increase microbial activity in the soil.

One of the benefits is a reduction of disease. This is due to an increase in competition. The soil can only hold so many organisms. If there is a greater number of good microbes in the soil, there will be less space, oxygen, nutrients available for the "bad guys" (disease organisms.)

Sustane Fertilizer- characteristics
Organic matter 50 per cent
Biologically active
Contains 14 essential plant nutrients
12% Humic & Fulvic acids (improves ability of plant to utilize nutrients)
70-85% slow release Nitrogen
2% chelated Iron

Benefits

Soil physical and chemical attributes enhanced

Good disease suppression

Continued use of organic products results in a reduction of Nitrogen needed. As the Organic Matter is increased, the lawn is less reliant on Nitrogen.

Healthier soils = healthier plants = less reliance on pesticides
