DLF Organic Now Producing Organic Lawn Seed with Nitrogen Enhancing Microclover

As Good As Grass editor:
Forget lawn seeds. Sow clover seeds in your existing garden lawn to add soil nutrients and thus improve grass quality. Think outside of the box or below the grass in this case! Many gardeners overlook natural methods to lawn care so why not take an ecological view of garden maintenance. Organic Sun Mix with Microclover is the newest environmentally friendly, low cost lawn option from DLF Organic.

DLF Organic (www.dlforganic.com) is now offering organic lawn seed with microclover in many retail locations. Microclover is an innovative turf-type clover that has the ability to provide slow release nitrogen for a naturally greener lawn all year long. It's like growing fertilizer. "This is an easy and environmentally safe method to maintain a healthy green lawn," says Marlene Cable, DLF Organic Development Specialist.

Europeans, who have very little access to lawn chemicals, have enjoyed the many benefits of adding clover into a lawn for years. A dense mix of grass and clover helps crowd out weeds and will prevent new weeds from establishing. Plus, it helps with pest resistance and disease. Due to the dense structure of the microclover's stolons, it will also tolerate close mowing.

This lawn seed mix is the most environmentally-friendly home turf option on the market. The seed is organically produced and USDA certified. By adding the microclover into the mixture, the use of chemical fertilizer is nearly eliminated.
