Now if I can just get my neighbors on the bandwagon. I like being able to control the weeds in my lawn organically and tell what my soil composition is by which weeds are proliferating. I like how the manual is written - easy to follow a step process for assessing your lawn and the steps to take to make it beautiful the natural way. I had read it at the library but wanted a copy for reference.
It was EXACTLY as described in the book.Now I am VERY proud of the beautiful lawn that I have. It's methods work. The book is easy and enjoyable to read. I now have the best lawn I've ever had (in over 30 years of maintaining lawns). I think of it as artificially trying to support something that is MUCH better in it's own natural ecosystem.The book is fantastic. My lawn had been maintained chemically for many years and had deteriorated as described in the book. I was working harder and spending more money, while getting diminishing returns on my efforts.
The chemical lawns were never needed in the first place.a waste of time, money and resulted in a lawn that is not as beautiful as an organic one. I suspect that some day, all lawns will be organic and we'll all wonder why in the heck we ever used the chemicals.
It just seemed like all of this was "too good to be true" but I tried it anyway. The children can play on the lawn without cancer causing chemicals endangering them.
The instructions are easy to put into practice. It is low maintenance (certainly MUCH less maintenance than when I was using chemicals to artificially keep my lawn going).
Period. I'm spending less money than I did on my old "chemical lawns" and maintaining this beautiful lawn takes less maintenance.When I began following this book, I was REALLY skeptical.
It had a weak root system, had been susceptible to some disease problems, and insect issues.it had simply atrophied over the "chemical years" of pouring on the toxins.
A must read for anyone who cares about their lawn and the environment. Excellent book.
Well-written in an easy to follow style with plenty of information. A great resource for anyone wanting to change to or improve their knowledge of organic lawn care.
Would definitely recommend. Great book. Covers all the basics (and more) for going green with your lawn.
