Reusable Shopping Bags and Green Lawn Care

If you’re like many people, you might spend a summer weekend tending to the lawn and garden.  Do you use reusable grocery bags in the grocery store?  How about when you shop for lawn care products?  Many people forget that reusable shopping bags can be used in any store.  Of course, more important than reusable bags is what you put in the bags, and this is definitely true when it comes to lawn maintenance.

Some people think maintaining a green lawn is a bad idea because it uses so much water and space.  However, a healthy lawn (maintained appropriately) is a great addition to the ecosystem.  Grass and gardens work to produce much needed oxygen while eliminating overabundant carbon dioxide.  Additionally, these lawns help to suck up rain water, which would otherwise wash into the sewers.  Lawns and gardens even help replace destroyed habitat by providing refuge to insects and animals.  

Our communities and housing developments replace original ecosystems.  However, we can do our part by creating a healthy replacement to the lost ecosystem.  When shopping for lawn care products, it is what you put into your reusable shopping bags that determines how healthy your lawn is.  

Many people run to the store to purchase weed killer at the first sign of foreign plants in their otherwise pristine lawn.  However, weed killers are highly toxic to humans and other animals.  They were created to break down and destroy biological life.  Instead of destroying life, it is more prudent to cultivate it.  Indeed, growing an extremely healthy lawn generally eliminates weed problems on its own.  Few weeds can compete with healthy grass for resources.  For this reason, it is better to invest in quality, eco-friendly fertilizers and compost instead of poisons.  Work to create a healthy lawn first, and most weed problems will disappear.

This principle applies equally well to gardens.  Instead of poisoning problem plants, take care to cultivate the plants you want.  By keeping these plants extremely healthy, they will often outcompete the unwanted weeds.  Additionally, cypress mulch is an effective eco-friendly way to reduce weeds.  Mulch naturally suppresses the growth of weeds without damaging the environment.  Additionally, mulch conserves water by reducing evaporation, and keeping soil moist longer.

But what about pests?  Like weeds, pests often send people to the store for poisonous chemicals, but this is definitely not the green choice.  The negative impact of these pesticides should keep you from ever adding them to your reusable shopping bag.  The truth is, most pests can be combatted without toxic chemicals.  For instance, a little mild dish soap and water applied to leaves will stop aphid infestations.  Beetles can easily be handled with bag traps instead of spraying poisons.  These traps can then be disposed of properly.  Additionally, your garden supply store might sell ladybugs, which make short work of most aphid populations.

One more important element to green lawn care involves lawn equipment.  When was the last time you added an oil filter or a few new spark plugs to your reusable shopping bag?  Keeping your mower in good running condition is a great way to reduce emissions.  Doesn’t seem worth the effort?  Think about the impact of millions of mowers running each week around the country.  It does make a difference.

The next time you head to the garden center, think life instead of death.  Purchase items that foster healthy life, not chemicals meant to destroy it.  This is green living.

Green Lawn Care That is Chemical Free

 

Trying to stay true to the principles of organic and natural living is not as easy as you think it should be. In our culture we have become acclimated to certain conditions that have only been achieved through the use of chemicals. From doing the laundry, to washing cars and tending our yards, we have invented a chemical for nearly every task. If you want to live more green and be in harmony with the environment with your lawn care, you will need to give it some planning and forethought. 

One bit of thinking we may need to change is our perception of what makes a weed. Many of the “pests” that we are being sold chemicals for are actually our native plants and rather beautiful in their own right. An example of this is the dandelion that has a pretty yellow flower during one stage of its growth and wispy and delicate heads during its seed stage. We have all enjoyed blowing the seeds to the wind and watching the “parachutes” gracefully float away. 

Notwithstanding your newfound definition of a weed, you may still want to discourage some types of plant life in your lawn. Here are some ways to do that in as natural a way as possible. First, give the desirable grasses as much support and nutrition as possible. You can find organic fertilizer recipes and get on a schedule of feeding your lawn the nutrients it needs to make it as strong as possible. 

Grass is naturally an aggressive, thriving plant. Do your part to keep it healthy and it will make no room for the weeds. Keep your yard on a regular mowing plan so that the plants are at a good height for the grass only. This way your grass will receive more of the soil, water and sunlight than the weeds. Grass loves to be mowed, whereas weeds are damaged by it. The act of mowing keeps the yard looking good in more ways than one. 

Here is one other method for weed control that has been all but forgotten. We are so inclined these days to gravitate to the solutions that take no time and no effort. This forgotten method I am talking about can become an activity for quality family time together. It can get you out into the fresh air and give you great exercise. This method is simply going out into your yard and pulling the weeds by hand or with digging tools. 

The hand pulling of weeds is very efficacious in weed removal because nothing kills a weed like removing its roots from the soil. The weed can then be removed from your yard and you expend some calories and use your muscles like they should be, too. There is nothing that can be said to be more natural and environmentally “green” than this good old-fashioned method, and it is truly effective, also.
