You can make sure you have a "green" yard by following
these tips:
· Don't dump grass clippings or leaves in the street,in a
drainage ditch or into streams. Instead, compost or bag
them for curbside collection.
· Don't over apply fertilizer. Make sure you follow the
application instructions.
· Don't apply fertilizer and pesticides before heavy rain
is forecasted. They will only get washed off your lawn
and into the stream!
· Control pests and disease by rinsing plants, pruning
and handpicking, setting baits/traps, or mulching
to reduce weeds.
· Use prescription flea drops for pets instead of treating
your entire lawn with harmful chemicals.
