Happy Earth Day!
Last summer I was disappointed to find that our next-door neighbour had hired a non-organic company to take care of their lawn. Graham and I would sit out back, drinking our coffee in the morning, and then suddenly the powerful, sickening smell of the pesticide/herbicide cocktail (good enough for pest control) would waft into our yard. Annoyed, disgusted, we’d head back indoors to finish our coffee.
I put a little sign in our garden in the hopes it would start a dialogue between us and our neighbour, but it didn’t seem to phase them at all, which I just can’t understand because he grows FOOD in their yard.

I agree – we have been diligent in using all-natural products and I am looking into composting this year. I wish more people would focus on eco-friendly, then all of the great options out there would come down in price.
And for people who pay to have pesticides put on their lawn for weed control… get out and pull them out yourself!
Great post. Thanks for doing your part.
