Organic Lawn Care - Essential Oils For Weed Control

I love to see dandelions.

Not just because they are a beautiful yellow, but because it is a sign of a chemical-free lawn.

When I walk my dog Prin this time of year and during the warmer months, I always have to be cautious of where we are walking and he is sniffing. I’m never concerned for him in an area where dandelions are growing.

Lawns everywhere are treated with chemical weed killers, fertilizers and toxic pesticides.

As much as I’m against using toxins on lawns, I do appreciate when people take the courtesy to warn us with lawn flags that show that area has been treated, but I can’t trust that all people do that.
