The Real Cost of Chemicals
We all know how much a bag of weed and feed cost at the local store, but do you know the real cost of putting chemicals on your lawn? It may be a bigger price that you realize...
The Facts
Aside from damaging the ecosystem, chemical fertilizers can cause 
groundwater pollution. Oftentimes, they are highly acidic, thus resulting in high acidic levels in the soil that stunt plant growth and kill microorganisms that help supply nitrogen to plants.
Chemical fertilizers are typically more expensive than their organic counterparts, and they can eventually lead to a chemical imbalance in plants, particularly an excess of nitrogen.
Environmental Hazards
Chemical fertilizers create high levels of nitrates, which are carcinogenic and often show up in our water supply. Plants aren't able to use such large quantities of nitrogen, and synthetic high nitrogen fertilizers are often overused, causing the excess to be leached or washed away into our local rivers and lakes. Contributing to the worsening of our drinking water quality.
If you are an avid gardener, keep in mind that using chemical fertilizers on your fruits, vegetables and herbs can not only be harmful to digest, but the foods lack the nutrients due to the poor quality of the soil it is grown in.
Is your family safe?
With the organic mind set on the rise, more and more people are acknowledging the harmful effects of synthetic fertilizers. Some chemical 
fertilizers and weed prevention have even been linked to increasing rates of cancer in people and animals. There is a reason that you are told to keep pets and children off the lawn after it has been treated by a professional lawn applicator. Even after those weed and feed products dry, they still get tracked into your home on your shoes and pets feet, and if your children play on the floor, they are coming into direct contact with those substances.
So why put toxic chemicals on your lawn when there is a better, natural way? The good news is, you don't have to anymore! You can easily apply all natural fertilizers yourself, just as you would a chemical one. Or you can sign up for any of our organic fertilization and weed control services for a safe and healthy lawn!
