Eco-yards™ Spray

Eco-yards Spray is aerated compost tea, made with high quality compost and organic fertilizers. It is sprayed on the leaves of all your trees (up to 40 feet high), your shrubs, lawn and other plants. The Eco-yards Spray service is offered three times a season to bring more life and health to your plants.

Eco-yards Spray is a probiotic for your yard. Eco-yards Spray is unique in that it not only fertilizes, it is rich with the beneficial micro-organisms present on leaf surfaces and in the soil. These tiny micro-organisms (beneficial bacteria, fungus, nematodes and protozoa) store nutrients and interact with plants at their roots and on leaf surfaces to deliver those nutrients to the plants.

Eco-yards Spray builds the micro-organic eco-system in your yard so that your plants can get the nutrients they need from your soil. Your plants will be healthier and healthy plants tend to resist diseases and troublesome insects.

"We used to have compost spread on our lawn every season. Then we found Laureen Rama's Eco-yards Spray. Our lawn is consistently the nicest on the block and we don't baby it - we just had Laureen's spray."
— Mary Jo Fairweather

"I have a Toba Hawthorn that had a rust problem - it was about 60% infested. By the end of the first season of Eco-yards Spray there was only a trace of rust - it's the healthiest it's ever been. I also have had very little winter dieback on my other plants even though we had an early freeze. I have signed up for this year!"
— Sarah Crow

On the right: lawn had been treated with Weed N' Feed for a year and now - no treatment.

The micro-organic life in the soil is the basis of all life on the planet and has been depleted by use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. You can be part of restoring that micro-organic life by signing up for the Eco-yards Spray service.

Good for the planet! Good for your yard! Good for you!

How is it Made?

Eco-yards Spray is made by taking quality compost, putting it in clean water, adding lots of great organic nutrients (e.g. kelp, fish hydrolysate), and aerating it heavily for 24 hours or more. The micro-organisms in the compost multiply very quickly, due to the high oxygen levels, to make a rich soup of micro-organic life that will really perk up all the plants in your yard and build long-term health for your soil and plants.

What if my Yard is Really in Poor Shape?

Extra programs to complement the Eco-yards Spray may be helpful if your yard is really in poor shape from years of chemical use or neglect. Restoring organic matter in your soil will give the micro-organisms in the Eco-yards Spray a home and some nutrients to feed to your plants. We offer services that include:

adding compost to your lawn and beds
spreading additional organic fertilizers.

“I had the Eco-yards spray services last year. I only watered the lawn 3 or 4 times that summer. The lawn stayed green and healthy and yet it didn’t grow faster so I didn’t have to mow more often. The shrubs and perennials looked healthier; the leaves are shiny and a nicer colour. The perennials flowered nicely. The shrubs and perennials didn’t need anything in the way of fertilizer. The evergreens have perked up, they have a nicer, greener colour and less brown spots. I’m signing up for the service again this year!”
— Norma Lepine

“I have noticed a dramatic change in my yard in the few years that you have been helping with landscaping and providing Eco-yards Spray. I was surprised this year to notice how my huge forty year old mountain ash and poplar trees have improved. They were diseased which mostly showed up in severely disfigured leaves. This year the leaves were mostly normal and lush thanks to all that you have done!
