Organic Lawn Care
If you think that chemical fertilizers and pesticides are necessary to keep your lawn healthy, think again. Chemical pesticides and fertilizers actually destroy healthy organisms and diminish soil quality–not to mention that they contaminate our ground water, harm wildlife and have been linked to a variety of health problems (for more on the environmental and health problems associated with lawn chemicals, click here and here).
Ready to rid your lawn of unhealthy chemicals? Start by checking out sustainable lawn care recommendations (from Earth Easy and this article in the Boston Globe). If you use a lawn-care service, talk to your provider about going organic, or consider switching to an organic service (like Greenscapes or Minuteman Landscaping) .
