Horticultural Oils and How They Help Your Landscape

At The Organic Turf Company we offer a wide variety of products and services to help you keep your lawn & landscape healthy and beautiful. One of these is our tree and shrub program. I get asked a lot what this program consists of, so today I am going to tell you about the first application we do in the early spring.

Every spring, we spray all the ornamental plants with a 100% organic horticultural oil.  These are generally a mineral oil or one of a variety of vegetable based oils that are sprayed on your plants to combat certain types of insects.
