Think this is absurd?

Read the label. Almost every commonly used chemical pesticide and weed n' feed product advises inhalation and exposure to eyes and skin causes irritation and/or permanent damage. 2,4-D (an ingredient in Agent Orange) causes blindness and is one of the most common selective broad leaf herbicides in use.

Do You Do-It-Yourself?

Few things are so satisfying as working in the yard, then kicking back to admire your handy work. A good looking yard is a source of pride, provides a sense of completion, maintains property value, and gives your family a safe place to be.

Nothing wrong with that! But there's a huge health risk associated with irresponsible use of lawn chemicals. How many times have you ended up with itchy ankles after applying fertilizer? Or after golfing for an afternoon? Just like topical medicines, pesticides are absorbed through the skin!

Do You Follow the Label?

Do-it-yourselfers are at the highest risk for exposure to and damage from chemical lawn care products. Often products are labeled as safe, but only under certain conditions. Do-it-yourselfers tend to ignore label mixing rates and overapply, not fully understanding the power of the chemical they are using. Worse, they fail to follow the clothing requirements or reentry time before using the yard. How many times have you seen someone spraying pesticides or applying lawn products in shorts, barefoot, shirtless, and not wearing gloves? (Or how many times have you done so yourself?) Here are some documents you should read if you are currently using chemical products to maintain a lawn on your own:

Organic Do-it-Yourself

Beside the great results, one of the best reasons to use organics is they require no personal protective gear. Your lawn is safe to use immediately after application. To get started you'll need to do a little prep work.
