The Success of Your Garden or Lawn Depends on its Foundation: The Soil by RotoTillerGuy

Yes these pellets do green up and fertilize the sod, but for how long? Fertilizer pellets are a short term solution; they contain an unstable form or Nitrogen that gets released all at once. The unknowing customers are impressed with how green the lawn is initially, but then are left wondering why it won?"'""t remain green later. Compost contains a naturally converted more stabilized form of Nitrogen that is time released into the soils. How can spreading pellets help with hard compacted soils such as clay? How can pellets help with water retention in sandy soils where the water just drains away and washes these fertilizers into the ground water and then eventually into the municipal water supply?

What makes us at RotoTillerGuy different and better is that we actually amend the soil properly. We bring in a 3?"' layer of Compost, and mix that Compost 6 8 inches deep into your soil with a RotoTiller. This aerates the soil, breaks up the clay soils, mixes in the Compost to loosen clay soils and bind together sandy soils. The Compost is a great retainer of water which helps with making the soil more droughts tolerant, and thus making your lawn more droughts tolerant. This cuts back on the amount of water you have to give to your lawn, because now the soil is working to retain and hold water where it is needed, at the root zone.

When soils are properly prepared, plant growth flourishes and maintenance is reduced. All soils benefit from increased organic matter and the natural nutrients. The addition of organic matter results in improved drainage and aeration in heavy clay soils. Sandy soils also benefit from increased water retention and biological activity. Beneficial insects such as earthworms are encouraged to come and feed on the organic matter in the soil, thus slowly breaking down the organic matter and creating another source of fertilizer from the worm castings. Compost is part of Natures cycle and provides more long lasting benefits than just tossing around some man made chemically formulated fertilizer pellets.

Compost

Give your lawn the nutrients it needs from the beginning, but also give your lawn what it needs for the future as well. The RotoTillerGuy?"'""s Compost contains live bacteria and beneficial organisms, Stabilized NITROGEN that is time released into your soil rather than all at once, and PHOSPHORUS for root growth and for when your lawn matures. Nitrogen promotes vegetative growth and gives plants and grass a deep, rich green color. Phosphorus is especially important during early maturity and root growth.

Price

You might think that the RotoTillerGuy would be more expensive. Certainly RotoTilling in Compost into the soil is more labor intensive? Certainly bringing in this much Compost material has some cost, maybe more than the Fertilizer pellets? The reality is that the other guys charge on average between $1.50 and $2.00 a square foot for an installed lawn. We at RotoTillerGuy charge as low as $1.29 a square foot. To be honest I don?"'""t know how the other guys get away with charging so much? I charge less, do more work, use real compost to amend the soil, we buy sod from the same sod farms; I just don?"'""t see why anyone would use the other guys over using RotoTillerGuy. We do a better, more long lasting quality job, and we are cheaper!
