I'm all for the naturalization of the medians, we can spend the money we save cutting grass picking up the garbage. Now they just cut the garbage up into 1000 smaller pieces. While they are picking up the garbage they should weed whack around the trees (tiny) they've planted to give them a chance at growing into large beautiful trees.

I used to be a person who sprayed weeds but now I don't. Instead I've diverted my dollars from weed spraying to using natural fertilizer, top dressing and overseeding. A healthy lawn with natural products kills out the weeds due to the grass being so lucious and thick.

I think society is starting to see the beauty in natural unmanicured lawns. I live in Ancaster and was extremely disappointed to see that the fire station had received a chemical bath to remove dandelions. They should have spent the money trying to create a healthy soil layer by adding compost and over seeding with fescue and rye seed rather then chemical that kills more than dandelions (such as worms which aerate soil).

Since I've been pesticide free I've noticed more worms and birds around my property. This is the way it is meant to be. I cut grass at 3 inches and am in the market for a reel mower.

I'm happy because I don't have to smell that foul smell from pesticides and am worry free for my child and pets.
