CREATING A NATURAL LAWN
Well maintained lawns do more than just look good
The soil under your lawn absorbs water, reduces rain water runoff and improves water quality. It also provides oxygen and
removes dirt and dust from the air. Water also promotes helpful organic micro-organisms and filters rainwater contaminants.

Lawn care has come at a high cost to our environment
30% of water used on the East Coast goes to watering lawns, twice that on the west coast.
18% of municipal solid waste is composed of yard waste.
The average suburban lawn receives 10 times as much chemical pesticide per acre as farmland.
Pesticides/herbicides have been linked to cancer, birth defects, immune system damage, lower sperm count and impaired
neurological development in children?
Pesticides have been found in drinking water, not only in agricultural communities but also in residential communities.
Home lawns cover approximately 30 million acres, an area larger than Maryland, Massachusetts and New Hampshire
combined. According to EPA estimates, homeowners apply an estimated 134 million pounds of herbicide and insecticides
per year to their gardens and lawns. |

Having naturally beautiful lawns and gardens is having healthy soil
Keeping the soil healthy is the biggest key to successful organic lawns and gardens, because when the soil is alive and
functioning properly, it creates healthier, stronger plants. When plants are healthy they have natural defenses against
pests and diseases. That is why the health of the soil actually determines the health and beauty of the plants. Good
growing soil should be full of organic matter and beneficial microorganisms helping your soil's ecosystems stay in balance.
A complex ecosystem is made up of microscopic creatures that help create plant health. When weed and feed products or
pesticides are applied, toxic chemicals kill off the good bugs along with the bad. Healthy soil ecosystems also create more
oxygen and soil-borne nutrients, and help plants retain water, increasing resistance to drought and heat. This kind of balanced
ecosystem creates a place that pests and diseases are just not going to thrive.
Take Your Lawn Off Drugs
Using common lawn and garden products, can develop a cycle of chemical dependency. The weakened plants will need
more fertilizer, or pesticides to survive. It is a downward spiral, leading to the dead of the soil and poisoned plants. Not to mention the
human health affects of eating or touching those plants or grasses. A naturally healthy lawn or garden with living soil, can tolerate
significant numbers of pests without even showing a lot of damage. It is similar to a person having a healthy immune system, it is
easier to fight off infections!
