Grass. It’s everywhere. It’s our garden carpet, it lines our paths, it cushions our children’s falls, it covers sports fields, it’s what makes a park a park, it feeds our livestock and yet grass is taken for granted on a daily basis.
Grasslands cover a massive ¼ of the earth’s land area with over 9,000 different species carpeting mountain peaks, polar regions, savannahs, jungles and making our planet liveable.
Although we do not eat grass, without it, we would lose a massive food source. We can thank grass for the production of rice, corn, oats, sugar, bread, alcohol and so much more. Without grass, many animals would cease to exist.
Fortunately for us, grass is highly sustainable and practically impossible to destroy. It doesn’t matter whether grass is cut, eaten, flooded, burnt or scorched; the roots will revitalise the grass time and time again.
Despite us not actually eating grass in its basic form, grass is one of our top natural resources and is invaluable to sustaining our love for eating meat, eggs, cheese, yoghurt and milk by providing cattle, sheep, goats, horses, rabbits and poultry with essential nutrients to survive.
Furthermore, grass is Mother Nature’s natural remedy against soil erosion caused by heavy rainfall and high winds. Soil erosion has a massive impact on our natural environment causing crops, farmlands and structures to wash away resulting in the land losing vital nutrients, minerals and fertility.
If you give your grass the love and care that it deserves, you will be rewarded with a luscious green blanket of blades and be the envy of your neighbourhood. Here’s how;
Look after your lawn and your lawn will look luscious.
