National Organic Week

Australia’s largest celebration of organic food, farming and products! Join us on 14th - 20th September 2026.

National Organic Week has been initiated in Australia by the Centre for Organic Research & Education (CORE) in 2008. CORE is a not-for-profit organisation conducting year round organic research, education and awareness activities. NOW is a week of targeted media and locally-held activities designed to increase awareness of the benefits of organic products and farming production systems and accelerate the uptake of these in the wider Australian community and environment.

Grass clippings contain proteins and chlorophyll that decompose into immediately available nutrients for your soil.

The nitrogen in fresh grass clippings is already in the perfect form for soil microbes to process. Unlike synthetic fertilizers that need to break down through chemical reactions, clippings contain proteins and chlorophyll that decompose into immediately available nutrients. The microorganisms in your soil recognize this organic matter as food, not foreign material. As they consume the clippings, they release nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in precisely the ratios your grass evolved to use. This is why mulched lawns develop that deep, consistent green that synthetic feeding struggles to replicate. The soil becomes more active, more alive. When you leave clippings where they fall, you are not adding waste to your lawn. You are completing a cycle that has been running for millions of years, letting your grass participate in the same nutrient exchange that built prairies. [0WVMK]
