Many pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers are hazardous and can cause severe damage to you and the environment. The conventional pesticides used on lawns pose threats to human health and wildlife, killing more birds than West Nile virus and resulting in the accidental poisonings of children. Professional lawn care workers face an increased risk of non-Hodgkinson's Lymphoma (NHL) as well as soft-tissue cancers. Some people have severe allergies to pesticides and may become ill just by walking past a lawn with pesticides on it. Environment Canada estimates that 50% of the pesticides and fertilizers used in our cities wash into local waterways.

Feeding your lawn and garden with organic compost, and providing optimum growth conditions, will keep your grass and plants healthy and relatively pest free.
