I lived in a farming area much of my life. After seeing the tons and tons
of
chemicals farmers used on their crops every year, I fail to understand the
fuss about home owners using a few pounds of fertilizers and weed killers
on
their lawns two or three times a year.

In my area, homeowners are taxed $50/yr for "runoff" into Chesapeake
Bay. All the stuff that gets washed off the lawn in a good rain goes
right down the storm sewers and into the Bay. Yes, I fuss.
