Good soil leads to healthy plants and good soil is more than a combination of sand, silt, and clay particles. Healthy soil also contains organic matter, microbes, and air. In a garden we improve the soil by adding leaves or compost and tilling it in. But what about the soil your lawn is planted in?
Moore Green offers a simple solution to feed your soil. They call it their ‘Soil Booster’, and it is an add-on to the basic lawn fertilizer treatments. It contains beneficial bacteria, soil conditioners, and organic compounds focused on improving the soil.
“In the lawns that receive the Soil Booster, we find that they perform better under stress such as heat and traffic, and they recover better from drought,” reports Blake Moore, owner of Moore Green. He recommends two treatments during the year, preferably spring and late summer. “To keep the cost lower for our customers, we apply the Soil Booster at the same time we do a lawn treatment, to avoid a return trip,” Blake says.
To get a price for the Soil Booster for your lawn, call the office or talk to your service technician.
