Ouch!

This posting over at Stonewerks.net, is an important reminder to tread lightly when dealing with chemicals in your garden.

I try to use as few chemicals as possible. In order of importance, these are my reasons:

• I have a 5-year-old who loves to play in the garden
• I have loads of birds and beneficial insects
• I am too lazy to mix it up and apply it
