Question
I no longer want to use chemicals on by lawn.  Tell ne about organic products for lawn care, getting rid of ants, pest bugs.

Answer
Hello Jimmy

A wise move on your part, to go Organic for the Lawn.

Organic Fertilizers are much better for the Lawn because of the Natural slow release. Organic Fertilizers can be determined by adding up all three numbers on the Label. N-P-K. Scotts products for the Lawn should look like 24-3-3. Organic products are determined by adding all 3 numbers and they should add up to no more than 20. Milorganite is available in my area and the numbers are 6-2-0. You really only need to Fertilize  2 times per Year, Spring and Fall if you mulch the grass clippings.

All Pest problems have Organic cures. The best resource for this is WWW.Gardensalive.com. they have a wide range of products for Grubs, Ants, Beatles etc.

I hope this helps, if you need anything further explained, don't hesitate to Follow-up with me and I will be happy to explain in further detail
