"Eleven Steps to a Healthy Lawn"
makes it easy to reduce or eliminate the use of hazardous
products while saving time, water, money and helping to preserve
our environment.
Healthy lawns grow on healthy soil. Following a few easy steps
will help to build healthy soil and vigorous deep-rooted lawns.
A healthy lawn is more resistant to disease, will tolerate
some insect and drought damage and will out-compete many weeds.

The keys to a healthy lawn are:
- Healthy
soil
- Choosing the right plants
- Healthy pest-resistant
plants
- Careful management
Remember, a few weeds or insects doesn't mean you have a pest
problem or that a pesticide is needed. Look at the problem
and find a solution other than using a pesticide. Nature can
often deal with the problem on its own. For instance, ladybugs
will move in to solve an aphid problem. It's important to
know that if you choose to purchase ladybugs, choose native
species.
Ask yourself:
- Which pest do I have?
- What's causing the problem?
- What can I live with?
- What can I do that does
not include using a pesticide?
- Did it work?
