Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Wayne" <wa2yne@gmail.com>]

People spray weed killer and other stuff on their lawns, then use other 
chemicals to get more grass to grow.
Many waste water in what are actually desert areas, just to keep a green 
lawn.
I'll have some lawn at my new home, grass, including Bermuda grass, already 
being there, but no chemicals.
I'd as soon the Bermuda grass was not there, but it's all over the place 
there.
I hope there are at least some earthworms there, will find out...
I only use compost and composted manure in my gardens, adding what I feel 
will work.
I don't feel that no till will work for me, at least till I get enough 
compost added.
Beer is no real problem, but I'd only use it, in saucers or such, to help 
with slugs and snails.
No insecticides unless there is no other way to control some types of 
insects, and I prefer natural types as much as possible.
Mouthwash? main working ingredient is alcohol, and that will evaporate 
faster than water.

Yes, this Baker person seems to be a hazard to a good environment, as well 
as another Looney...

YMMV
