It is that time of year where your local Garden Center and Box stores will be receiving large orders of Lime and Lawn Fertilizer as spring is just around the corner, regardless of the two feet of snow and ice outside my window.

I have not fertilized the lawn for at least 10 years now. Whenever I did the fast rush of nitrogen would green it up fast followed by a rapid yellowing as all the chemicals nitrogen consumed left the plants wanting another fix.

Where I live there all lots of deer that graze my yard and by spring the deer droppings are pretty widespread and numerous. I have to think this organic more balanced approach just allows me to do nothing and maybe not have a blue green turf but just fine ...
