Hundreds of millions of people are about to go out and buy "weed and feed" and other forms of toxic gick to grow something that is strictly ornamental:  a lawn devoid of edibles, flowers or polyculture. 

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.

I felt a little envious when I first read that the US is a country that could feed itself on lawn acreage alone,
until I discovered that my country could feed a quarter of its population just using the space currently allocated for growing the ingredients of beer ... bellies.

One of the largest users of herbicides in the US is the golf course industry.
Is it merely coincidence that golf course landscapers have a much higher than average rate of cancer?
