EXPLAINING BZT® DETHATCHER


BZT® DETHATCHER is a guaranteed effective "biological dethatcher" for thatch build-up. Thatch is the straw-like accumulation of old grass material above the soil in your lawn. When thatch builds up, it indicates your lawn's health is slipping away. Thatch build-up occurs in lawns with compacted soils that have usually been over watered and/or fertilized. A deficiency in earthworm numbers from lack of humus may also cause soils to compact. Water and sunlight have a hard time penetrating lawns with heavy thatch build-ups and compacted soil. Since moisture is absorbed by the thatch and not the soil, grass root systems remain shallow, never developing the depth necessary for drought resistance and long term good health. Lawns with shallow root systems quickly lose vigor in dry weather. Insects use heavy thatch as a breeding ground, as do many undesirable organisms. While thatch layers under ¼ inch [6.35mm] thick do provide some benefit to your lawn, thatch layers over ½ inch [12.7mm] thick definitely require treatment.

Too often mechanical dethatching is the treatment of choice. This is unfortunate, because mechanical dethatchers can rip and tear grass plants and roots. They do little to improve your lawn's long term health. Instead of returning organic matter to your lawn, you rake and bag it for disposal. Increasingly more municipalities are placing restrictions on the disposal of grass clippings, rendering raking and bagging an impossible choice.

Chemical fertilizers and lawn treatments may actually kill the beneficial microorganisms needed to form humus in your lawn. Chemicals may also promote the growth of undesirable disease causing organisms and insects. Your lawn may actually be more vulnerable to plant diseases after chemical applications than it was before treatment. Chemical fertilizers release their nutrients all at once, and are easily leached away. Additionally, chemical fertilizers and lawn treatments may have dangerous side effects for family and pets.

Organic fertilizers in the form of humus are extremely important in maintaining your lawn's good health. Humus is rich in nutrients, which stay in place and resist leaching much better than chemical fertilizers. Humus releases nutrients slowly to plants, at rates acceptable to their demands and uptake ability. Thick humus layers hold water well and allow grass root systems to grow deep. Deep root systems are essential for healthy grass plants and aid in drought resistance. Healthy lawns retain their natural immunity to plant diseases, and resist weed competition better than chemically treated lawns. BZT® Dethatcher is an all natural product that is a cocktail of safe and beneficial living microorganisms and enzymes necessary to quickly break down organic matter into valuable humus. BZT® Dethatcher is not a fertilizer, but actually accelerates nature's fertilizer building process. BZT® Dethatcher is environmentally safe and will not harm your family or pets.

Biological treatment with BZT® Dethatcher is greatly beneficial to your lawn. It is the safe and natural solution to breaking down thatch without renting a dethatcher, eliminating the dust, sweat, and back-breaking labor involved. BZT® Dethatcher works equally well on grass clippings and mower mulch. Regular treatment with BZT® Dethatcher is the safe, quick, and easy way to a lush healthy lawn saving time for more important things like golf, or fishing, or……
