How Mycorrhizal Fungi Cut Your Carbon Footprint with Low Water Grass



A well-established Pearl’s Premium lawn can decrease your carbon footprint in four ways.  This is due to the special blend of native and long-adaptive grass seeds.  Some of these seeds existed prior to the arrival of the Native American peoples.  Pearl’s seed mix is all natural and non-GMO.

Pearl’s grass seeds are coated with Mycorrhizal Fungi, which enhance water storage and carry nutrients to the grass roots.  The grass-beneficial fungi were selected from lab tests of 50 different types.

Less Chemicals: you can cut your use of carbon-intensive chemicals. A Pearl's Premium lawn only needs an organic fertilizer or composting to stay green, especially if you leave the grass clippings.
Less Watering: you may seldom or never need to pour drinking water on your lawn again. Pearl’s grass grow 12-14 ‘ roots that have 30 percent more water storage capacity than ordinary grass. Remember, most lawns are irrigated with the same water we drink - that's energy-intensive filtered, treated, pumped and paid for.
Less Mowing: you only need to use that polluting lawn mower once a month and not weekly, or never if left to go to a high meadow. A typical lawn mower produces as much carbon in an hour as a mid-sized car, fully-loaded, produces in 11 hours of driving!
More Oxygen: your Pearl's Premium lawn, properly maintained, produces dramatically less carbon than the typical American lawn. A university study demonstrated that fescue grass blends like Pearl's Premium, cut 3" high, produce 5,760 times more oxygen than carbon in 24 hours. The same study found that a bluegrass lawn, cut one inch high, produces oxygen and carbon in a 1-to-1 ratio. It's like having your very own carbon sink in your backyard!
