Not sure that's a realistic goal. Get them to try it, especially during the dogs days of summer when ambient temps and humidity are high. We need to create the story that organics are feeding the soil, driving microbial activity and improving soil structure, which in turn helps create healthier root mass and more efficient nutrient uptake by the turf.

I have gone organic based partly on this site and others. Not global warming nut but common sense says the soil and lawn should be alive and my kids and pets will no doubt benefit. I have questioned my puppy recently having some not firm stool and started after summer fert with insect control. No more. No more chems for me. That was hilarious.

I'm of the opinion that almost any publicity is good publicity. If people ask the question, "What was Sam eating?" that's a good thing, right? Sam was eating corn gluten meal, for the record.

Very unfortunate: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/24/weatherman-eats-fertilize_n_244231.html I submitted a comment and I'd advise anybody who reads your blog to do the same. Maybe I'm just peeved right now and it's not that big a deal, but I just really dislike when anybody glosses over facts.
