I thought how can I learn something and grow as I learn? Lawn-care seemed to be something that would keep me moving, because I  hate to sit still. It’s been really successful over the years. I started out doing what we know and often that’s what we see on TV on commercials or what friends tell us. I found out the hard way that doesn’t work very well! Put down some weed and feed, burn some lawns, spray some weed killer,  get very sick! No that doesn’t look like a good idea anymore! I’m gonna get older one day I don’t want to kill myself to make a living. http://hippiefertilzing.com (Hippie Fertilizing Natural Organic Lawn Care) That’s where I found out about organics and every since I did it’s been such a wonderful thing! Not only a great way for me to have a business where I can do something positive. Also it’s been a fun amazing way to educate others on the  importance of our environment how we effect ecology supporting soil biology is the best way to go!  It’s the most environmentally supportive and supports our own health! That’s good to hear because the number one question I got last summer was How do I take care of my organic lawn? Do you want to give some tips for how do we build soil health in our lawn? Can I say what the biggest question I got last summer was? How do I kill the weeds? That’s always the top questions Yeah they say the same thing to me? What do I go buy? And heres what you do. A lot of people don’t like my answer in the beginning because it’s an education process. Why is it a weed? Why do you want to kill it? You know most of the weeds have benefits to the soil, so they’re not really weeds you just see so many silly commercials from those big companies out there that want you to buy their stuff and it’s not worth it! alright? How do you take care of an organic lawn? You sit back and relax and let it grow! A good way to start this, because I know there are lots of people who are like I have to do something?!  https://hippiefertilizing.com/index.php/2019/01/29/molasses-a-natural-remedy-for-your-lawn-and-garden/ (Go to the store and and get some organic molasses!) https://hippiefertilizing.com/index.php/2019/01/29/molasses-a-natural-remedy-for-your-lawn-and-garden/ (Molasses has) iron calcium magnesium potassium B vitamins lots of sugar that feeds the soil microbes I know people are like I need to jump on this and do something so grab some molasses and sweeten up the day.
