Read the directions before applying any chemicals to your lawn. Using too much weed killer or using it incorrectly can cause your Garden to suffer. Some herbicides can leach through the ground and kill valuable Garden plants. If using chemicals on your grass, do so only when the air is still. A breeze causes chemicals to drift, risking damage to your Garden or your neighbor's shrubs and plants.
Some people are chemically sensitive, and a life-threatening reaction can result from careless use.
Do not allow children and pets to play on treated areas for several days. Be aware of what chemicals do to our environment. They eventually can find their way into the drinking water supply. Each of us shares responsibility for keeping the drinking water supply healthy. Use patience and good lawn care instead of chemicals.
