I live in Northern NJ and am thinking about contracting with a lawn service to take care of the fertilizer and other weed treatments? I have about 1/3 acre of grass. Will the results be any better then what I could accomplish myself? Any recommondations. Depends on your goal. If the point is to poison children and birds, you can do that more cheaply yourself. If the goal is to have a better lawn, you can do that for next to nothing, with nothing but grass seed and intelligent mowing. Interested? Nice advice, Doug. What do you do for a living? Interesting question. Why do you ask? Well you just broad painted an entire green industry (one that I'm in) with one paint stroke. Poison your children and birds? Makes me wonder what -wonderful- thing you do all day. It obviously doesn't involve growing grass. |

For the moment, set aside the organic lawn care products I see advertised by some companies and consider ONLY the Chem-Lawn variety. And, focus NOT on fertilizers, but on bug and weed killers. With me so far? Now: Change my mind about those things by pointing to ***independent and properly conducted research*** which proves that those things are safe, both for contact (by people & animals), ingestion (by animals), and runoff into groundwater. |
