Amazing But Unfortunately True

It is amazing to see so many homeowners still applying dangerous chemicals to keep their lawns green and weed free, while there are organic solutions available at the same cost.  Organic lawn care means NO chemicals ever.  Chemicals kill everything in their path and compromise the health of your soil, ground or well water as well as the health of your family and pets. Think about the high incidence of cancer in many parts of the state. What could be causing it? Chemical lawn care may not be the only reason but exposing people, especially children, and pets to these harmful products has been proven to be a possible cause of cancer, according to several studies. Check it out online.   

In life we cannot have our cake and eat it too. We can choose to have a reasonably green and nearly weed free lawn and be safe at the same time. Every lawn that is sterile green and weed free is a warning sign and we should not really get into those danger zones.  For every problem in the garden, there is a natural solution. Organic lawn fertilization does take time, hard work and patience, but you can sleep at night knowing you are doing the right thing. You must understand the process – years and years of chemical lawn fertilizers and weed killers kill many of the natural nutrients a lawn needs to thrive. So when you go organic, the new process is strengthening your lawn to naturally thrive and eventually keep out dandelions and weeds. 

Let us all try to live our lives without worries and be happy.  The cost of organic lawn care should be less or the same as chemical lawn care. Please act now.  Make that change and start with your own lawn.
