Gardeners can keep their lawns stunning, robust, and healthy through November and early December by following expert advice. Late autumn is the prime time to nourish your lawn with fertiliser for it to withstand winter and burst into lushness come spring. But before splashing out on pricey chemical concoctions, David from Eagle Wood Farms has revealed some "simple" natural alternatives that won't harm your pets.
David emphasised the benefits of organic homemade lawn fertiliser, especially for pet owners: "Organic homemade lawn fertiliser is the best option for lawn care when you have pets at home." He pointed out that these natural solutions not only boost grass growth but also ensure a safe environment for furry friends: "these fertilisers help the grass grow naturally and they maintain a healthy environment as they are harmless for your pets".
He further shared how "Organic homemade fertilisers improve the natural resistance of the grass towards pests and insects, and can greatly benefit the soil. The best way to make your own homemade fertiliser is through composting.", reports the Express.
Calcium, a key ingredient, plays an essential role in root strength and drainage, improving the lawn's ability to soak up sun, water, and nutrients. David added: "Calcium is the single most important mineral needed for plant and soil nutrition. When calcium is flowing in your soil, everything is flowing.".
For those looking to give their lawns a calcium boost, crushed-up eggshells are an excellent choice. Simply wash the eggshells well to remove any yolk residue, which can attract unwanted pests. Next, bake them in the oven until they're completely dry before crushing them into small fragments.
