As owners of Organic Footprint my wife, Jackie, and myself, Rick Ross, are on a mission to bring awareness to the environmental need to incorporate organic materials and practices into our lawns and gardens. Our approach requires the very basic understanding that a plants growth and sustainability is affected through what the root, (the plants uptake source), can bring to the plant out of the soil.
The quality of the soil will determine plant quality and health. If a soil is fed salts and petroleum distillates that are in most chemical lawn and garden fertilizers, the effect is poor plant health over time. The nutrients from organic fertilizers, which are 100% organic matter, help to establish a rich, dark, mycorrhizae active soil without the salts and biology-killing chemicals.
