No, not network neighborhood

I am, oh....... I guess certified or acredited with "Grassroots Healthy Lawn Program".......www.ghlp.org

In fact.....that new account I had gotten by the homeowner doing some internet search on organic lawns, came across the website above and that organization lists LCO's that had completed their 2 day seminar and signed up to do organic lawn care in accordence with their quidelines that were discussed during the seminar.

Each of my 2 test properties other than my own home......I discussed with them completely what we would be doing and what to expect......I also informed them of my theory towards weed control........both were very understanding and very receptive.

Other people that I have talked to during the season regarding organic lawn care understand and agree with my use of chemical control of weeds.

My idea is once they are controlled......along the process less and less weed control is needed..........all the while the turf grass takes over.

Glan what brand of organic fertilizer are you using on the test lawns. Sounds like you are having great results... I would like to fallow your plan and do some test sites as well

Could you please fill me in on the brand of organic fert you used and where you ended up getting the rest of the stuff you used in your test program ?

We are currently in the process of offering "green" or "organic" options to our client base. My primary question with regards to the tea is whether or not it stains concrete. With a foliar application, that is always a concern that I know would come up. I would also be interested in knowing if anyone uses the "liquid grass compost" and how they go about collecting it in a reasonable manner. I love the idea of essentially "recycling" grass nutrients collected from sites, but am struggling thinking of a way that would be reasonable for collection.
