Sparky's Safe Lawn Tip - The incredible egg and your fertilizer

You don't need to get professional-grade organic fertilizers to make your lawn beautiful. Although, at Natural Turf, we can help with that if you'd like. :)

eHow has done a great job of putting the limelight of one of our oldie-and-goodie ingredients to homemade fertilizer in a great article on homemade fertilizers. And one of the key ingredients: the incredible egg.


Calcium-rich eggshells
Turns out that crushed eggshells contain all the things that a growing lawn needs to grow: calcium carbonate, nitrogen and phosphoric acid. As your lawn grows, they remove calcium from the soil - and eggshells can help replenish this important nutrient.

Calcium can help:

• Stimulate root growth.
• Promote thick, sturdy plant stems.
• Your grassy plants absorb nitrogen - the most important chemical nutrient needed to promote healthy plant growth.

Think differently about your next omelette
Pretty cool, huh? So, the next time you sit down to enjoy those scrambled eggs over the morning paper...save those eggshells!

Your lawn will thank you!
