The best way to prevent weeds is with strong, healthy grass. Spot spray the weeds you have and feed your lawn regularly.

These chemical ‘Weed and Feed’ poisons are directly linked to causing cancer in dogs, cats, kids and adults. And they are harmful to the very plants they are supposed to protect. Pretty crazy. The bags will say ‘Do not apply around trees and shrubs’. Does anybody think that their tree and shrub roots don’t grow in the turfgrass areas? And read the back of the bags. There you find will an EPA pesticide tag plus instructions on how to clean your spreader in a containment box and take the waste water to a toxic waste disposal site. Like anybody is going to really do this. So after we apply these ‘Weeds and Feeds’ we have now poisoned our entire lawn where our kids and pets play and track these poison into our homes.
