Natural Fertilizer Resources

One of the things homeowners take the most pride in is a great-looking lawn. It can be time-consuming and frustrating, but with persistence, you can keep your lawn looking beautiful. Here are a few lawn care tips.

Begin by raking up leaves and cleaning up all debris. If there are high or low spots in the yard, level them. This will give your lawn a much more lush and uniform appearance–it levels the playing field, so to speak.

I visited a store last week, out in the country, where people might be expected to know better, and discovered that one of their products was ‘organic fertilizer.’ That’s right; they were bagging cow dung and selling it, at six dollars a pound, no less. And this in a remote farming area surrounded by cow pastures!

“Organic fertilizer” sounds lovely, but truth be told, for a little work, you can get it free from any nearby farmer. Or you can usually pay someone to deliver it for you. It doesn’t come in plastic bags, but I guarantee, it will be less than six dollars a pound.

Summer is here and it is time to showcase those toes in a strappy sandal or sassy slide. Are your feet ready or are they in dire need of a little TLC and a major overhaul before they are shown to the world? Here are a few quick tips for keeping your tootsies healthy and beautiful:

Wear Comfortable Shoes: Allow your feet to breathe. Choose footwear that has a broad toe box, make sure the inside top of the shoe is well cushioned and has a soft bottom. Be mindful about the fitting of the shoe, it should not be tight nor loose fitted.

Used coffee grounds have been discarded as trash by millions of people around the world. Is there another use for your used grounds? The answer is “yes,” and the more you learn about the used coffee grounds the more sense it makes to use them as a fertilizer. My Grandmother taught me years ago the secret of used coffee grounds. She said that the grounds give your plants more life. I always wondered what she meant by more life. Then as I watched her plants grow I seen some amazing things. Her tomato garden was huge, and much larger than our neighbors. Tomatoes the size of a softball grew in her garden and at a fast pace. When the neighbors would inquire as to her secret she said I have rich soil. She did not lie; because due to those used coffee grounds her soil was rich indeed.

Looking for a great way to drive traffic to your business? No million dollar ad budget last time you checked? The solution may be to harness the power of grassroots marketing.

Grassroots marketing is simply taking the unconventional approach to getting people interested in what you offer. It’s driven by creativity and energy-the stuff we entrepreneurs have a lot of. And it doesn’t require a lot of money-the stuff we have the least of!

To get started with grassroots marketing, consider these three ideas:

We could get technical about natural plant fertilizers. But let’s not.

For thousands of years, farmers have been using natural plant fertilizers to improve the nutrient holding capacity of soil to help plants grow healthy. Natural plant fertilizers have been known not only to promote the health of your plants, but also the health of the naturally occurring microorganisms that thrive in healthy soil.

Many homeowners aim to have a lush, green lawn that’s free of weeds and one that’s relatively easy to maintain. In addition, most of us want to protect the environment, and our family’s health, by cutting down on the use of lawn chemicals.

So what’s the solution? Almost everyone has turned to natural lawn fertilizers.
