Does anyone here do organic lawn care?
Where do you buy the pre-emergence weed killer? I haven't seen it at the regular home stores. Any tips would be most welcome. I have never been one for lawn care, but I had some landscaping done and I want to keep it looking nice without loads of chemicals.

2. Some Organic Gardening Ideas
I like this companies products so far and they are even available at Lowe's and other nearby garden centers (here at least).

Here's what I used last year on my lawn.

4. I use Holly Tone.
It is excellent.

I will try the ChemFree. Seems ridiculous to mail order this kind of thing. I wish they would sell it at the regular home and garden stores.

Thanks for the info! :hi:

6. I Think It's Kind of Silly,
Its kind of cool having it just pop up on your porch (no tax & free delivery). Your yard will smell like a big tortilla when you put it on and you don't have to worry about getting poisoned either.

A friend of mine used Chemfree last summer too - we were both happy. I am normally not too interested in my lawn - I love my flowers - that's where I expend my yard energy.

:)

5. lol, that was my old system.
But then we got fancy and had the yard landscaped, so I thought I better try a little harder ;)
