Conserving our delicious water

There are so many things to think about when it comes to our lovely, sweet ground water.  Today a friend was concerned about her dogs eating dirt. Her husband usually has a commercial service maintain the lawn and he was not a happy camper when she wanted to cancel the winter weed-killers out of concern for her pets.

I suggested she switch to organic lawn maintenance as a way to satisfy them both.  She just called to say a 'green' landscaping company will now be doing their lawn, although it is a bit more expensive.  Another marriage saved.:)

Now if I could just convince her to get rid of the lawn.  Here's an article (the Sacrificial Lawn) I wrote on the subject for greenlandlady.com.
