Organic Program for Green Grass
We use a LOT of organic ferilizer for our turf production.
We produce our own liquid fertilizer. We have a large perfectly round shallow concrete 'pond' with a small pillar in the exact center on which a rotating boom swivels, at the outside end is a pair of wheels which run on the rim. Manure from our animals is dumped into the pond from the barn cleaner, this is mixed with the water from the hose down of the barn floor. The boom has many small nozzles on arms which run down from boom, they all point down and back at about a 45° angle, a pump macerates (shreds) the manure/liquid combination and pumps it out through the nozzles, this both aerates the mixture, and keeps it constantly agitated as the force from the pump makes the boom rotate. The process is so efficient it is always available for use, constantly 'brewed'.
You can much the same thing with a poly barrel and some manure and rainwater in your backyard.
If you do, you will have tomatoes the size of melons.  .
Best of luck.

No Kenneth, I mean big ones.
I grow beefstake tomatoes, most are bigger than my wife can hold in one hand, some bigger than I can hold in one hand.
Nothing finer than a tomatoe fresh from the garden, still warm from the sun......
Best of luck.

Organic Program for Green Grass
We are, unfortunately, forced to eradicate any and all weeds, after all, who would buy turf with weeds in it?
At home though I use a different approach, I keep the grass so thick the weeds can't get started the grass chokes them out. Periodically a few stubborn ones pop up, I have a little spiked remover I carry on the mower, I can twist & pull the out without even getting out of the seat!
As was mentioned, if you don't water grass, and you have the proper type of soil, the roots will pull enough water up that eventually 'train' the soil, create passages that will allow the water to work it's way up to the roots. At that point the natural capillary action of the soil will keep the water flowing up on it's own.
Best of luck.
