I recently moved into a townhouse community and my lawn was very thin and full of weeds. I wanted to go an organic route, and learned about Natural Alternative lawn and garden products through your website. After overseeding my townhouse lawn this past fall, and once again in the spring, and fertilizing using your 15-0-4 Small Lawn Fertilizer each time, my lawn is now healthy, and thick, with great color.
I have applied the winter step a week ago. Also want you to know that my lawn has looked fantastic all season long and has never looked better. With your help and products I can say without reservation that my lawn is the envy of my neighbors and friends. Thanks for all of your help.
I live where the soil is already high in phosphorus (the middle number) and it's hard to find any with none locally. I buy one of these each season and they are well worth the cost. My neighbors all say my yard is looking much better than under the prior homeowner.
