Lawns and Lakes

Did you know, that the average acre of lawn can receive 10 times the amount of fertilizer and pesticides that farmland does? 75 million tons of fertilizer and pesticides are applied to lawns each year; which ends up in our groundwater, rivers, streams and lakes. Consider using natural methods to control weeds and pests in your yard. Future generations will thank you.
