The first step to a healthy lawn and garden is healthy soil — and healthy soil is alive! It’s full of beneficial micro-organisms essential for plant health.
Unfortunately, when you treat your lawn or garden with conventional synthetic fertilizers, you actually reduce the soil’s natural biological activity. The soil becomes lifeless because there’s nothing living in it anymore. Without an army of beneficial microbes surrounding their root zone, plants can’t defend themselves against pests. They’re unable take up the nutrients in fertilizer. And that causes the fertilizer to leach out of the soil, contaminating groundwater, streams and aquifers.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Better Naturally helps you help your lawn and garden, creating:
Better Soil Health
Beneficial microbes are nature’s way of maintaining healthy soil. Without them, your soil’s fertility will deteriorate no matter how much fertilizer you add to it.
Better Naturally is packed with beneficial microbes, Mycorrhizal fungi, humates and essential nutrients — all of which help build rich, fertile soil. Beneficial microbes make the nutrients in the soil more available to your plants. Mycorrhizal fungi create extensions of your plants’ roots, multiplying their ability to pull water out of the soil. Humates reduce soil compaction, which means you don’t have to water as often. And nutrients help your plants grow to be strong and robust.
Better Results
Plants need more than just nutrients to grow — they also need healthy root structures, the ability to convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis and the strength to resist pests and disease.
The natural and organic ingredients in Better Naturally promote:
- Better Root Growth. Beneficial microbes and Mycorrhizal fungi, such as Bacillus firmus, Glomus aggregatum and Glomus intraradices, increase plant root establishment, development and growth.
- Better Greening. The mineral iron improves photosynthetic activity, making your plants and lawn greener.
- Better Resistance. Mycorrhizal fungi, including Glomus etunicatum and Glomus mosseae, increase your plants’ ability to resist disease, while certain beneficial microbes, such as Bacillus chitinosporus, actually feed on parasitic nematodes and eggs.
Better Water Savings
When your soil is compacted, it's challenging for air, nutrients and water to penetrate through. This leads to water runoff, nutrient leaching and a lack of soil biodiversity.
Better Naturally incorporates humates — decomposed organic matter that physically modifies your soil’s structure and texture. As the soil becomes looser and richer, more air circulates through it and your plants are better able to absorb water through their roots. Stronger, healthier roots improve your lawn and garden’s capacity to hold water. You don’t have to water as often, saving money and conserving one of our most precious natural resources.
