Question from petercsantoro@yahoo.com
I am wondering what you use/recommend for lawn care. I have two small children who like to play in the yard, and I don’t want to use pesticides/chemicals if possible. My husband states that some chemicals are necessary and that the lawn will be destroyed if not used.
(currently we use TrueGreen to care for our lawn and we are under their “Natural” program. However, their treatment for grubs is a pesticide which when applied, humans and pets must stay off the lawn for a couple hours. I do not want this grub treatment but my husband says we need it since we had a terrible problem with grubs tearing up the lawn previously.)
Can you please recommend another alternative for lawn care, and particularly, grub treatment?
I can’t let my children play in a yard sprayed with chemicals and pesticides, and my husband and i disagree about the dangers of the chemicals/pesticides… Can you have a nice lawn without the danger? Thank you!
