CHEMICAL SYNTHETIC FERTILIZER IS A NEGATIVE

Stangl’s understands Insects and disease will not go away. Drought and floods will not go away. Extreme heat and cold will not go away and most of all that weeds are your number one concern. Weeds indicate high bacterial and low fungus - unbalance. Number one cause for unbalanced soil and increased weeds is from the use of chemical synthetic fertilizers on your lawn from the past and now.

Weeds like a bacterial soil caused by chemical synthetic fertilizers which stimulates the bacterial side and kills the fungal mass. Coming off of these chemical synthetic fertilizers takes time to get a lawn more fungal, so until that time soil will favor weeds. Stangl’s has introduced a fungal Inoculum as well as included two fungal maintenance applications in the Classic Program to establish fungal mass to balance the fungal to bacterial ratio for the reduction of weeds.

Stangl’s provides the life force to heal and activate soils while due to strong marketing forces paid by advertising bias advice research, if you purchase product/service “A” (which the advertiser will sell or apply for you) the problem will be fixed. Many people then buy the product/service. However one question still needs to be asked; does this fix the problem in the long term or just treat the short term symptoms until next time. Our competitors, big box stores and manufactures continue to increase emphasis on the use of CHEMICAL SYNTHETIC FERTILIZER which is indicating that our soil’s natural fertility is declining (due to the fertilizer itself) and increased artificial supplementation is necessary.

CHEMICAL SYNTHETIC FERTILIZER’S NEGATIVE EFFECTS

·         Synthetic Fertilizer is often applied at excessive rates damaging soil microbial populations and the organic matter that sustains them and subsequently plant life.
·         Nitrogen and Phosphorus are recognised as groundwater contaminates because they are mobile and relocate to surface water with erosion and runoff then into streams, rivers, lakes and oceans creating large algae blooms killing marine life, and turn into nitrous oxide greenhouse gas (which accounts for 25% of the atmospheric greenhouse gas) www.dirtthemovie.org
·         Excessive use of Nitrogen can also promote plant disease, insects, increase water use and weeds.

Stangl's understands the relationship of the DIRT to all plant life. Since 1981 Stangl's has provided the best in lawn care and along the way has transformed the typical quick fix lawn care company that used pesticides and granular fertilizers, to a company that focuses on long term results by providing results today without compromising the environment.

From RODALE INSTITUTE, Soil biologist and researcher Elaine Ingham Ph.D

“Good naturally healthy soil is crucial. Amazingly, the condition of the world’s soil today is so poor that it can be classified as a crisis.

Today we try to reverse poor soil with treatments of various chemical fertilizers. Yet no amount of chemical fertilizers will improve the structure of your soil because soil structure is maintained by the microbes living in the soil. Beneficial, anaerobic organisms build and maintain healthy soil while disease-supporting anaerobic organisms build and support unhealthy soil. In addition, soil structure is hindered by having to recover from numerous applications of synthetic chemicals such as salt-based fertilizers and chemicals.

A healthy vibrant lawn requires a healthy soil with beneficial bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes for a strong healthy structure that supports the plant life above. Soil biologist and researcher Elaine Ingham Ph.D., who studies soil as chief scientist at the renowned Rodale Institute in Kutatown, Pennsylvania, argues that one soil does not fit all. She also disputes soil experts who claim just having soil with the right pH allows you to grow any plant you want. “This is not going to be the case, unless you want to load your soil with inorganic fertilizers and pesticides and all those things that kill the beneficial organisms in that soil,” Dr. Ingham said. For that matter, she continues, “There is no purpose in putting inorganic fertilizer into the soil that (from the start) contains sand, silt, and clay because you have all the mineral nutrients in that material your plants require.” The soil needs the ability to take the nutrients that are present in the soil and convert them into a form available for the plant. Therefore, Dr. Ingham said, there has to be organic matter, food to feed the life in the soil to keep it alive, active, functioning and doing its job.”
