Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the rise in demand from customers for organic and natural lawn care solutions. Explains that the organic methods are more expensive which may deter customers away from those options. Presents the Natural Organic Touch program, developed by Andrew Ziehler in Centerville, Ohio, stating "it's a 100-percent organic program...It's a program with products that haven't been so common in the industry." Describes the challenges the industry must overcome if organics are to become more mainstreamed, including increasing their effectiveness and price points. |
