re: honest question…why do so many of you soak your yard with chemicals?

Other than pre-emergents, I don’t use any herbicides. I don’t use pesticides either on my lawn because I prefer to let them live, especially earth worms. I just monitor for grubs and armyworms and will treat if necessary. I actually let the armyworms eat last year as an experiment.

The rare weeds I have, I pull by hand. Takes a few years to get to where I am, but it’s so easy to maintain now. I just walk the lawn for 5 minutes before mowing.
