Conservation and Environmental Information
"You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life.

WEEDING
A weed is a plant growing in the wrong place. Weeding eliminates competition for space, nutrients and water. Air circulation is improved with weeding which reduces risk of diseases.
1) Hand picking before going to seed is the best control environmentally, but most labor intensive.
2) Mulching is very effective.
3) Spray weeds with white vinegar. Use weed removal products with low toxicity and rapid decomposition. Always read labels and follow instructions.
4) Spot spray rather than broadcast.
5) Spray at dusk after bees have returned to their hives.
