New House, no chemicals?
Hi folks, I just bought a new home last September and want to keep all
sorts of chemicals off my lawn for health, environmental, and dog reasons. Can anyone recommend organic products that will help me keep the lawn happy and healthy? Thanks, Joanne |

New House, no chemicals?
The best organic thing you can do for a lawn is keeping it properly watered,
fertilized, mowed, and thatch free. There are many types of organic fertilizers available. The type you need will depend on your grass and soil. A strong, healthly lawn will choke out most weeds. Keeping lawn debris cleaned up will help keep down the fleas and ticks. If you want to go organic, you're probably going to have to get used to some weeds and bugs, although there are many organic products that can keep them at bay. Check out books and videos by Jerry Baker of PBS fame. He has an organic solution for just about everything you can imagine. "Jo Cohen" wrote in message ...

For tufgrass nothing beats Milorginite, also known as activated sewer sludge. (human waste) Some say it will make you sick, I'm not sure. |
