natural lawn treatments

I know I have seen an organic lawn company, but now cannot find them! I am in metro Detroit. Anyone know what I am talking about??

I don't think I'll use anything on the lawn other than 3 way soil which involves soil, manure and peat.

But I did read something interesting the other day - about poking holes in the grass. It kills grubs and stuff like that and aereates the soil.

Sorry - that doesn't answer your question. I would think you could get some organic spread at the Home Depot's garden section. Do they call it 'Home Depot' there?

Zarine, they're prolly called "Natural Way" and should be in the phone book.

Thanks! I called for a quote. I would think there would be more than one in the area! I had another service tell me that there is no natural way to treat lawns. I told him I've been doing it for years, I just don't have the time now!
