As far as grass + garden, I’m a novice! But one thing I’ve learned from @growandco is a healthy, beautiful yard + garden really starts with good soil…and chemicals are never necessary. Organic matter, proper drainage and the right nutritional balance help create stronger, more resilient plants from the beginning. “Plant a $1 plant in a $10 hole.” As in, invest in the soil first and you’re setting the plant up for long-term health. A good-quality mulch also helps the soil retain moisture so we don’t have to water as often. For grass, we used zoysia because it grows into a thick, dense turf that naturally crowds out weeds and makes it harder for pests to establish. We’re in hot, pest-laden Houston, so this is proof that beautiful grass does NOT automatically require synthetic fertilizers, weed killers and pesticides. As far as turf, zero judgment here, but I don’t want the hazardous exposure. It’s essentially a plastic surface full of plasticizers and other chemicals that offgas in the Houston sun. There are also researched health benefits to grounding (ie, bare feet on the earth!) including reduced inflammation and nervous system regulation that we’d be missing out on if we chose turf, albeit much easier to maintain. I’m so thankful for companies like @growandco that understand this to its core. Our family garden has already brought us so much joy…and some delicious, nutrient-dense food to boot!
