I've never used any type of chemicals in my gardens.Never found a need to.The only thing that goes into my garden is water and an all natural fertilizer made from compost.I manually remove my weeds with a garden weasal,mulches them right up into the soil.
I only wish that I had more room to be able to grow more and sustain myself year-round.But that's where the organic farmers at the local farmer's markets come into the picture,you pay more but you know what you're getting or this case not getting.
Same goes for the fish pond.Doing a lot of research last year I discovered there are many natural products out there for what might ill my fish and for water treatment.Someone here,I believe it might have been you Raven,turned me onto barley for algae control.My pond is a huge attractant to many types of animals including my own dogs!
Same goes for the lawn now.Once I obtained a nice lawn with the traditional 4step fertlilizer I switched to all natural to maintain it.I must admit though that I have yet to find a natural product that effectively controls crabgrass so I do walk around the yard with bottle of Ortho crabgrass killer to spot kill it before it becomes a problem.
