Garden Rejuvenation
Our Garden Rejuvenation program is designed to help your garden work with nature to establish and sustain healthy, vibrant plants.
We begin by analyzing the overall health of your landscape — literally from the ground up. We evaluate your soil for three major contributors to plant health — organic components, nutrient content, and microbial population. Each of these is necessary for a garden to sustain its own health. When one is missing, the most common place to turn is the synthetic products advertised to solve the problem. This quick fix is just that, a quick fix that actually does more harm than good. Like any chemical junkie, your plants become dependent on a steady and often increasing supply to stay alive.
Naturally healthy soil grows a naturally healthy garden.
Through organic fertilizers, soil amendments, and compost teas, we detoxify your soil and re-establish the naturally occurring ecosystem within your landscape. Once the balance has been restored, your garden can become virtually self-sustaining. However, our program is not a one-time fix. Chlorine in your irrigation water, air pollution, disease from neighboring properties, even the raking of leaves and grass clippings constantly threatens to disrupt the equilibrium. We recommend twice yearly applications of organic fertilizers and tea to replace what has been lost, at application rates that decrease as soil health increases.
Currently, fertilization rates at all of our long term rejuvenation clients gardens is less than half of the manufacturer's recommended application rate due to the health of their soil. Most have found their water use for landscaping has been cut virtually in half.
Our Garden Rejuvenation Program can be as simple as replacing your chemical fertilizers with our high quality organics. It can be as comprehensive as removing your existing plants, amending the soil, and replanting. How much your garden needs is dependent upon your existing conditions. Successful rejuvenation depends completely on how closely we can mimic the conditions that nature has used for the several billion years before we began gardening.
