Avoiding thatch buildup thanks to plant-eating organisms
To fight thatch buildup, just spreading sand after a mechanical operation can’t be enough because it amounts to bringing inert mineral substance into another asphyxiated inert substance, an organic one this time (thatch). Supplying an organic fertilizer EVER or VEGEVERT type as top dressing is a must. It will ensure your lawn balanced nutrition, reduce the production of aerial biomass and above all stimulate an array of micro organisms that will durably restart soil’s biological activity, among which the decomposition process of thatch into stable humus in the first place, and then into nutritious, organic and mineral substances. This preventive and curative action against thatch build-up was also discovered by the Bingley institute (GB).
