Organica's 4 & 5 Step Program now brought to you by DIRT WORKS is a back to basics approach to plant management designed to revitalize soil biology and provide a foundation for healthy turf growth and it can even restore soil health after years of abuse by synthetic fertilizer use.
The establishment of beneficial microbial populations is the key to creating a healthy soil environment. Over the last 500 million years plants and beneficial soil microorganisms have developed a symbiotic relationship. When a plant photosynthesizes it releases a carbon exudate into the soil, which microorganisms utilize as a food source.
The microbes then surround the root to feed on the carbon and in return protect the plant roots, recycle nutrients, improve nutrient availability, improve nutrient absorption, minimize nutrient leaching and improve the soil structure over time. As you can see this truly is a "symbiotic relationship".
Unfortunately today many soils are grossly out of balance and are virtually devoid of beneficial microbial populations. This is due primarily to an over reliance on "quick fix" cultural practices, which rely on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to manage turf. Studies have shown that most insect and disease infestation is actually brought on by pushing excessive plant growth with water - soluble inorganic fertilizers! This unnatural growth weakens the plant and makes it an opportunistic target for insects and disease.
Have you noticed the huge uncrease in the incidence of lawn grubs? Pesticides are then applied to control these self- inflicted manifestations and they exacerbate the problem by killing non-target beneficial soil microorganisms. Once you start killing off the beneficial microbial populations the vicious cycle begins. When the microbes are no longer there to protect the roots you are forced to apply more pesticides and the vicious cycle is perpetuated !
Organica's "Natural Lawn Program" is designed to reestablish these beneficial microbial populations and provide the soil with the necessary components to promote healthy controlled growth and reduce plant stress. Each component is synergistic further increasing the efficacy & overall performance of the program.
All of these fertilizers are good for uses other than lawns too. They can activate and stimulate any soil in need of a boost.
The microbial soil conditioner is a great product to use for planting trees and shrubs any time of year.
All of these products are available by the pallet for garden centers, golf courses, landscapers, etc..

Organica 4 STEP PROGRAM for Lawns in Varying conditions.
- It's important to follow the instructions as laid out because, much of the nitrogen in the Lawn Booster product is provided by "Corn Gluten" which is a natural pre-emergent herbicide that kills not only weed seeds but all seeds, including the grass seed. If you are over-seeding or planting a new lawn Follow Program #1.
- If your soil tests very low in nitrogen you may want to add a bag or two of our Pro-Booster 10-0-0 organic fertilizer in the spring. If you want to use this 10-0-0 product on a new lawn recently seeded, do so only after the first cutting.
