Grass thats cut higher is healthier overall that grass thats clipped short.
This is true for a couple of reasons.
First, longer grass has more surface area to hold water and nutrients.
Also, taller grass will shade the weeds, discouraging their growth.
However, this does nothing to promote strong root growth or make the soil healthier.
Organic fertilizers, on the other hand, release nutrients slowly, the way nature intended.
This encourages a deep, strong root system.
Organic Fertilizers Also Nourish the Soil
Natural fertilizers are like superfood cocktails for the soil.
They contain micronutrients and live beneficial microbials and bacteria, which naturally increase the oxygen level in the soil.
The environment within the soil becomes more diverse and complex, which results in natural pest and disease resistance.
Finally, organic fertilizers dont burn the lawn like synthetic fertilizers tend to do.
Frequent watering encourages shallow roots, which in turn increases thatch and makes lawns vulnerable to drought.

Clover growing in the lawn indicates a nitrogen deficiency.
Happily, clover can also bring more nitrogen to the soil.
As the nitrogen level increases, the clover will naturally decrease.
