In the beginning of the video, Wendy is raving about her neighbor’s beautiful lawn. She asks her what is used and the neighbor tells her that she has an organic lawn and uses no chemicals.
So, of course, Wendy also desires a beautiful lawn. She decides not to put anything on her lawn so that it too can be beautiful. Instead, she ends up with no grass. Once this happens, she again visits her neighbor for advice.
Wendy learns (and explains) that having an organic lawn means that although no chemicals are involved, products must be used to keep the lawn healthy naturally. Wendy used on her lawn a natural weed control product from Pure Barnyard Inc., which you are supposed to put down in the spring before the Forsythia blooms. She also used a fertilizer called Terrament. She also used weeding tools in the form of a weed hand, weed twister, and dandelion terminator. In the fall, Wendy had her lawn roto-tilled; she also put down compost and reseeded. The end was not surprising – this process produced a beautiful lawn for Wendy.
This video is highly recommended. It is fun and educational. It is definitely worth your time.
