Excellent piece filled with info most of us can put into practice. I'm bookmarking it lest I forget some of the tips. I haven't used pesticides in 35 + years and people still look at me like I'm crazy...
There are definitely organic alternatives to both weed control and lawn/grass care that WORK! it might take a little longer to work than the pesticides and regular fertilizers, but it is well worth it. At least 20 years ago, I hired who I called "My organic guys" and they were great. They added native plants, and applied what I believe was corn gluten for weed control twice a year plus fertilizer twice/year. Everything look great, and I didn't have to worry about my dog roaming the yard and eating or rolling in the grass! Just look up "organic lawn care" for wherever you live, and there will be individuals and companies to choose from. My organic guys' company was named "Watershed Lawn Care" as in no pesticides to ruin the local watersheds...
