Lawn
care fertilization using only clean, non-toxic food grade materials

|
IPM
involves using chemical, physical and mechanical methods as pest management
tools. |

In
some cases. For example, I would schedule parasitic nematodes and
milky spore to be used in early summer. |

Healthy plants resist pests and disease. No stress, no pests. |
