Abstract/Contents:Describes the process of labeling organic products, explaining that "only three labels likely meet the standards that lawn care customers expect when they ask for 'organic.'" Highlights the certification seals, including "USDA [United States Department of Agriculture] Organic (National Organic Program)"; "OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute)"; and "Independent and State Certifiers." Explains that "in the absence of a certifying seal, the best way to gauge the 'greeness' of a given product is to look at the ingredients." Discusses pesticides and fertilizers used in organic programs, mentioning how they are labeled.
