DLF ORGANIC Is Now Going Back To The Future: Organic Lawn Seed With Nitrogen Enhancing Microclover.

Halsey, Oregon (PRWEB) May 7, 2007 -- Prior to World War II, the typical American lawn featured clovers. The post war era gave birth to the chemical age and doomed the legume's role as a vital component of the all-natural lawn. In this new age of sustainability, DLF ORGANIC has re-introduced the legume into the American lawn with Microclover.

Microclover is a far better looking plant than the clovers from decades ago. It 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, 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 continued the practice of introducing clovers into their lawns. Why? A dense mix of grass and clover helps crowd out weeds and will prevent new weeds from establishing. It also helps with pest and disease resistance. Due to the dense structure of the Microclover's stolons, it can tolerate close mowing -- without using chemicals.

DLF Organic's lawn seed mix is the most environmentally-friendly home turf option on the market. The grass seed mix is organically produced without chemicals and is USDA certified. As a result of adding the Microclover into the lawn seed mixture, the use of chemical fertilizer is nearly eliminated. By leaving the mulched Microclover clippings on the lawn, a homeowner can naturally supply all the food their lawn needs. This is important because lawn care chemical usage accounts for more pesticide and herbicide use than all agricultural and golf course use in the United States. The key to environmentally beneficial lawn care in the future, as it was in the past, is the natural approach.
