Nothing compares with a fresh layer of organic fertilizer to boost your lawn’s and garden’s health, strength and crops. A thin layer of nutritious compost spread on your lawn – not too thick as you don’t want to smother the grass blades – does wonders to it, especially in summer:

• it will keep the soil nourished;
• it will activate the beneficial bacterial activity in the soil, thus promoting the green, lush growth of your turf;
• it promotes new growth of grass in those brown, dry, thin, unhealthy spots on your lawn.
