My lawn care article has been powerfully effective in persuading folks
to eliminate toxic gick for their lawn.

Please, I beg you. Pass this article on to as many people as you can think
of.

Post to your blog, your twitter, your favorite forums or mailing lists
.... email it do a dozen friends. Post it to your facebook account.
Five minutes of effort on your part, could persuade a dozen people to
stop using toxic gick for life. That's several sacks and bottles of
toxins compounded by years.

The ads on the radio are pitiful - garden supplies from box stores or garden centers push this offer, buy one spectracide preemergent lawn weed killer and get one free....and the bozos who spend Sunday afternoon of their weekend determined to find a need to "use up that jug of roundup in the garden shed". This is a relatively new phenomenon
developing over the past 30 years thanks to the easy availability of herbicides in box chain stores and an expanded number of garden centers.
