Pet Safe Lawn Fertilizer
Synthetic chemical fertilizers can cause pets to have gastrointestinal problems if they eat the grass or spend a lot of time rolling about on the lawn. If you are looking for pet safe lawn fertilizer, Jonathan Green has some great tips.

The organic approach to lawn care takes time. Be patient, since nature needs time to break down nutrients. With continued use, your lawn will improve and thrive.
Jonathan Green Love Your Soil® is an all-natural, organic soil food that contains humic and fulvic acids, calcium, sulfur, iron, and molasses, that will loosen and aerate the soil. It will also stimulate soil microbes, make the soil more alive and porous, enhance root development, and create a biologically healthy soil.
Love Your Soil® can be applied the same day as grass seed and works best when the soil temperature is at least 55°F or warmer, which is normally April – October. It is environmentally friendly and safe to use around people and pets.
Traditional Fertilizer
Jonathan Green Veri-Green Weed & Feed Lawn Fertilizer controls 250 types of broadleaf weeds while feeding your lawn with 35% slow-release nitrogen fertilizer. It feeds the lawn for up to three months while killing weeds down to the root. Apply Veri-Green Weed & Feed in the spring and fall when weeds are actively growing.
In order to penetrate the weeds and kill them faster, it should be applied to damp leaves and should stay on them for as long as possible. In order to work properly, they should not be watered in.
Avoid mowing your lawn or otherwise disturbing it for 48 hours after application. During this time, the chemical control will have moved from the plant leaves to the roots. Wait three days after spreading and the lawn area will be safe for people and pets to re-enter.
