As more information pours in and more indicators arise, today, we are beginning to understand that there are serious health and safety issues associated with the use of toxic chemicals in the garden. Organics is the natural and intelligent alternative to chemical treatment. Proper organic landscaping and gardening practices come with so many benefits. Beside being good for the environment on the whole, preventional practices, natural fertilizers and repellents are the safe and effective way to nourish your plantlife, control pests, and provide a healthy place for your children to play and pets and wildlife to roam.
Aside from our own yards, another thing we have to keep in mind is our creeks, streams, rivers, lakes and oceans - all the toxic chemicals and synthetic fertilizers we use in our landscapes and gardens eventually end up washing here. The effects are devastating. It's time we gardeners begin to take more seriously the effect that our heavy use of toxic substances is having on the natural environment we love and enjoy so much.
