| How to get your Lawn off Drugs |
| Ok, here's your situation: You've been using chemicals
on your lawn for many years. They in turn have depleted the soil, killed
off all the good bugs that keep the bad ones in check, and made the turf
dependent on continued applications of synthetic chemicals in order to
have your lawn maintain a healthy appearance free from weeds and harmful
insects.
As we become more and more aware of the ever increasing amount of chemicals
that we come into contact with on a daily basis and we try to minimize
the unnecessary risks, we realize that exposing our families, friends
and pets as well as wildlife, worms, and birds to lawn care chemicals
for the sake of a green lawn is not an option. We had beautiful lawns
and gardens before we had chemicals and we can have beautiful lawns and
gardens without them!
When the decision is made to break the chemical habit, the lawn will go
thru a period of withdrawl that will last for 1 to 2 years. So during
this time you have 2 options that are open to you:
You can do nothing,
or
You can build fertility in the soil using the highest quality natural
ingredients available. You can practice proper lawn care techniques like
annually aerating the turf as well as overseeding bare areas in Spring
and Fall to fill them in before weeds do. You can follow proper watering
practices, (probably the single most overlooked aspect of lawn care) proper
watering will build strong healthy grass plants, and create an environment
that is not hospitable for neither chinch bugs or white grubs and therefore
reduce the tendency of these harmful insects from setting up camp at your
house. Weeds are easily removed using the WEED HOUND. Beneficial nematode
applications work twice as well as traditional chemical poisons, they
are both easy to apply and completely harmless to anything but insects
in the ground in a larval state such as the white grub and sod-webworm.
Following these simple tips will lessen the withdrawl effects while sweetening
the soil and getting the grass used to taking the nutrients via the root
system again. After your lawn is off chemicals it will come back greener
than before requiring less fertilizer and providing you with a healthy
natural eco-system where you don't have to be afraid of your lawn...come
play on our lawn, it's pesticide free!
