We have been using corn gluten on our lawn for our second season this year. A little more expensive, but, worth having a safer lawn for all humans and our beloved pets.

I'd go with a 4. I would have liked more of a discussion of products, etc. for the home landscaper. Still, nice job to get you going.

This was useful as a starting point. Can we search for organic lawn care by region? Anyone know any good websites on the basic ideas?

I applied this product this year (http://organicatechnologies.com/consumer4stepnaturallawn.asp). Have been using products from Safe Earth for the past couple of years.

I have found Paul Tukey's website www.safelawns.org to be very helpful. His book, The Organic Lawn Care Manual, can be found in many public libraries. I checked it out so often that I ended up buying my own copy! There is a good Yahoo discussion group called Gardening Organically that may be helpful, too. Also, Mike McGrath has a radio show called You Bet Your Garden. The web address is http://www.whyy.org/91FM/ybyg/ Finally, the Gardens Alive website is often touted by Mike McGrath. Their website is www.gardensalive.com
