If you want a decent organic lawn, you can do it. We use a little lime from time to time, and some gypsum to neutralize our dog’s urine, and leave the clippings on the lawn. And of course our grass is well matched to our sun/shade mix, and soil. Totally organic, and it looks robust. There’s hope!

To An Undeniable Truth: You are grossly misinformed. Check your sources. Not Fox News. Not CNBC. Not the internet. In peer-reviewed science journals, ‘Climategate’ is what they call a ‘non-event’ – spun to make a story out of something that really had to do with internal politics, and not the legitimacy of climate science. Learn to follow-the-money, or you will be forever duped by big business. Honestly, if you put politics and fear aside, even a two year old can deduce that when you pee into a pool enough, that acid is going to increase and the pool is going to turn yellow. Now apply that thinking to the unprecedented inputs of carbon into a fixed and finite system, and the unprecedented increases of heat in our atmosphere and acid in our oceans. Then, ask yourself….is it coincidence that these increases in temperature and acidity coincide with the greatest human poplulation in history putting out the greatest amount of carbon in it’s history. If you think it’s coincidence, then you might as well continue to deny and deny til the day you die, cuz you aren’t interested in gettting at the truth, but rather playing politics and being a dupe for big business. And I am NOT opposed to business…I’m in business, before you even go down that road.

[...] Back to Court in Canada . . . On Jan. 29 we posted the news that a group of fringe chemical industry shills were attempting a lawsuit to overturn the historic provincial pesticide bans in Canada. Since that time, though, three more provinces have enacted bans and the lawsuit doesn’t seem to be headed anywhere — http://www.safelawns.org/blog/index.php/2010/01/scare-tactic-green-industry-attempts-witch-hunt-laws...

I trusted the regulatory agencies to protect my son. They allowed our lawn around our condo to be sprayed repeatedly, 3 companies taking consecutive turns each week until I almost died. My child had reached his toxic limit about 2 months before I did. We lost our home our health and our wealth.Trust them, no way.
It is a proven fact that those with vested interests pay to have results tainted, like Phillip Morris did with Methoprene and God knows what else!
Some day the medical community will come together and speak out. Some, are already doing this and the word is out. You will have to find another vice with which to make your blood money. One child harmed is one too many. Like Mr Shabecoff said people who continue to attempt to fool the public to line their pockets are both stupid and greedy because they are hurting their own wives and children along with us.

Hi, Paul,
First, letting Uncle Adolph rant is the best thing for your site. It’s like having a eccentric uncle you let out of the closet periodically to say what’s on his mind and we all know enough to just nod and smile. Anyway, I’ve been organic for a long time time and it shows…my yard looks totally crappy next to my neighbors flourescent green lawns and it makes me very sad…won’t give up though…I was green way before it became popular. Years ago, I used a fungicide on my cherry tree and nearly killed my cat. That was the end for me…pretty much…though last year, I did buy a crabgrass killer as it had taken over my newley planted lawn…it still sits in my garage unopened. Now, I have nothing but huge gaps and bare spots….it ain’t easy being green.

You are obviously quite misinformed and we will not be posting your comment. Thank you, however, for visiting SafeLawns.

I recall a few arguments I found on Youtube relating going “green” to Petro fuels, the arguments are very similar, the old way against a new ( maybe strange for some) way. I used to be all for chemicals just as every one of the “people with their opinion” are. My look at the world changing every day around us makes me wonder what sustainable means. We being humans(organic) are %70 water, Correct? That being my case exposing ourselves to so many different chemicals that have reverse effects on our health. its what is stated at the bottom of this page we are putting our lawns, and ornamentals before our health. Leukemia is the name of a cancer in which my own sister was diagnosed with, she is 25. I can’t relate her cancer with pesticides but Leukemia is a Petro-related disease over %80 of the time. Look at what were doing to each other and just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Just because your not sick remember that others are from these chemicals, and that is a fact*

Just take it from my experiences

Adhering to the label protects mainly the applicator. Lower manufacturing temperatures reduce the risk of dioxin contamination in the reactor; however, as a result efficiency of the manufacturing process is significantly diminished.
