Really surprising that no one in this thread has mentioned the danger
to babies and children from playing on lawns poisoned by weed-killers
and other harsh lawn chemicals. Many parents will not let their
children play on a friend's lawn unless they check with the parents
about chemical use.

This is the 21st century. We've been warning people about pesticide
poisoning by laying on, and walking barefoot on lawns treated with
every manner of toxic waste. If, by this century people don't know
how to read a label, or know these things should not be used, maybe
they're just ignorant and why bother.

A former neighbor told me that the stuff Chem Lawn was spraying on her grass
was not unsafe if it drifted onto my vegetable garden. Why? "How could they
sell it if it wasn't safe?"

54% of the population's just like that.
