    Organic and Natural Lawn Food

    Bradford Organics logoColorado's Own Lawn Food


    Back to Nature and Bradford Organic products are the perfect organics for your high altitude yard and garden.

    All organics are good — some are better than others. As the old saying goes, "There is good compost. There is cheap compost. But there ain't no good, cheap compost."

    For the nitrogen in these organic products to become available to the plants, micro-organisms must break the nitrogen down into a form that is usable to the plant.

    These organic products can be applied year-round without having to worry about causing flush growth that might get burned off by the cold. As the plant (grass, tree, shrub or flower bed) is ready for the nutrients, the micro-organisms will make them available to the plant. This "system" is what you find in nature (forests).

    Richlawn Pro-Rich Fertilizer is made with DPW (Dehydrated Poultry Waste), these fertilizers not only green your lawn, they improve disease resistance, reduce watering requirements, decrease thatch, and improve the soil structure of your yard.

    Also available are Jirdons Greenmaster, Colorado's Own Lawn Food and various Feritome products

    • Hummingbirds are back so put out your feeders!
    • Continue to feed the songbirds. Wild birds need your support while migrating. Remember to put fresh water out when you can. You'll see Cedar Waxwings, Orioles, Western Tanager and many more fly through.
    • Treat aspens for borers and black spot. Apply Bayer Tree & Shrub systemic fungicide and pesticides for ornamental trees - LASTS ALL YEAR! Apply dormant oil spray before bud breaks to reduce black spot.
    • Plant early perennials. Lots to choose from right now, but remember..... ours are grown outside so you get them when they're ready!
    • Mulch gardens! Add Soil Pep (forest mulch) to perennial beds now. You'll save $$$$$ on your water bill!
    • Fertilize lawns with a GreenMaster fertilizer to green up your lawn. Use Pro Rich fertilizer to stay more organic. (It's made from dried poultry waste)
    • PLANT SOMETHING! It helps the earth!
