Wednesday, June 12th Noon to 1pm Boardroom 2M70 **RSVP required: sustainability@uwinnipeg.ca -or- 204.789.1478 --------------------------------------------- What is Organic Lawn Care? Organic lawn care is simply caring for and maintaining your lawn without the use of any synthetic inputs (cosmetic pesticides or synthetic fertilizers). It revolves around the fact that your lawn is an eco-system composed of many different parts, all of which work together and depend on each other. The practices that are discussed, such as aeration and mowing, are very important contributors to the health of your lawn. All the organic lawn care techniques allow your lawn to grow strong and healthy and ultimately, out-compete weeds for valuable space in your lawn. --------------------------------------------- Did you know that the University of Winnipeg is cosmetic pesticide free? http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/uw-news-action/story.875/title.-uwinnipe g-becoming-pesticide-free-zone |
