Reducing Yard Waste
Lawn grasses should not have more than one-thir of the leaf blade removed per mowing time. Lawn clippings should be left on the lawn to enrich the soil.
Leaves and tree trimmings should be shredded, then muched or composted to add free additional humus and nutrients to the soil.
Pesticide Alternative
Prolonged or improper use of pesticides can kill everything in your yard, including beneficial insects and micro-organisms that help keep your soil rich and your plants healthy.
Following label directions, proper pest identification, use of beneficial insects, proper cultural practices and the use of organic pesticides will help keep our fragile eco-system in balance.
Nutrient Management
Using MORE fertilizer than the directions call for is a big waste of money because your lawn and plants can only absorb so much.
Using the WRONG fertilizer is just as wasteful. Too much of one ingredient creates a reaction causing a deficiency of another.
Mulching
Native Plants
Native plants require a lot less water, less fertilizer, less maintenance and fewer pesticides.
