Nothing like seeing your tiny hometown in a movie. Can't wait to see it! Way to go Hudson!

SplinterDog123 Why do you demonstrate understanding of variation of plant sensitivity to pesticides but you cannot understand these agents are toxic to humans based on age and size? Removing weeds /insects completely has a low margin of safety so lets change the paradigm and replace lawns with org. gardens. guys like you would still work just as much just different tasks of garden vs lawn keeping

Hello from someone who has gone through the Pesticide Battle

DON'T LET THE MONEY AND MOMENTUM OF THESE PEOPLE INTIMIDATE YOU.

Cool season grasses, if left to it's own with no help from us, will soon be out-competed by crabgrass and other weeds which thrive under warmer conditions when cool season grasses are under stress. That is why neglected lawns always become predominately weeds. Do not believe that you can have a beautiful, lush, thick, weed and insect free lawn without chemical intervention.

[SplinterDog123]

It is not that the grass is so tough. Broadleaf weeds have completely different physiology than do cool season grasses. The fact is that the chemicals used to control broadleaf weeds in turf are specifically designed to target those plants. It is called selectivity and it is quite impressive if you understand it. If you apply glyphosate or any other non-selective herbicide, it will take out the grasses just as readily as the weeds. Cont...
