Organic Lawn Care for The Cheap and Lazy

"With these methods, you will mow less, water less, never buy pesticides and have the best looking lawn on your block...

"Before my Master Gardener training, I thought that herbicide use had a time and place. The training covered not only the time and place, but also covered the details of toxicity. 2-4D is considered one of the safest herbicides. If a quantity of 2-4D that was about the volume of a roll of Lifesavers was rubbed on the skin of four kindergarten children, two of them would be killed. This does not mean getting it in their mouths, just rubbed on their skin. My reading on this subject has exposed far too many nightmares than I care to share.

"My opinion is that I can see no time and no place to ever use herbicides. Especially not for anything as frivolous as a lawn. I would rather have weeds."
