Healthy Yards, Healthy Lawns, Healthy Environment

[Guest Bonnie Smith]

Lawn care products can contain large amounts of nutrients, such as nitrogen, which can turn a yard into a lush green lawn, and they can kill or control pests and weeds. But some products can be extremely damaging pollutants if not used properly, washing into lakes, ponds, and streams and contaminating drinking water and killing fish and wildlife.

 

Caring for your lawn properly can both enhance its appearance and contribute to its environmental benefits.
