I never drink tap water, needless to say. But, kind of scary that they sell stuff for your lawns that is that toxic to our environment. My husband was also seeding the lawn at that time too, so the birds were probably feeding on the seed, and poisoning themselves in the process. We'd apply the stuff to our lawns, and soon we'd find a dead bird. At first we thought maybe the birds were due to the West Nile Virus (or whatever virus it is that birds carry), but I really think it was the chemical weed killers that we were using, because it was like clockwork. While using the non-organic products, we had several dead birds on our lawn, and a dead rat (yes, a rat!) within weeks of eachother. We live in the city in a nice, upscale residential area. One other thing - the first couple of years that we were here we used typical store brand weed & feed for our lawn. I also have dogs, so using something organic is very important to me. I had to drive 50 minutes out of the city to get it this year because the only store in my area was sold out - some guy came in and purchased every bag they had. The more you use it, the stronger and better your lawn will get. We don't have as many weeds this year, but the way it works is that the fertilizer makes your grass so strong that it can't be taken over by weeds. We were doing some more landscaping and tried pulling some grass out by hand - no way - it is so strong we had to rent a tiller. This year, our lawn came up green and lush. You apply them 60 days apart, and keep alternating. Last year, we started using the weed control and the fertilizer. We watered, weeded, used the typical weed killers that we purchased at a local home improvement store and our lawn never improved. We did some landscaping in our back yard, and the grass was so weak that we could easily pull it out by hand. When we first purchased our home, our lawn was awful. I started by looking up organic fertilizers, and came across a lot of good feedback on Cockadoodle Doo on the internet, so I thought I'd give it a try. Hi, I don't have chickens but I do have dogs and I've used this product and I'm VERY happy with the results. If I could let the chickens range the front as well, I wouldn't need it, but we live right on an intersection, and while yes, there are stop signs, not everyone stops and the speed limit is 55 from each way. I have a daycare here, and I just can not see laying straw and chicken manure covering my lawn! Parents would be turned off! A ready-to-use and Organic product, would work well in my case. I dont compost (I would love to, but cant stand the smells.and I was never able to get it to work right for soem reason.) so it makes sence for me, anyway, to buy a product that I can just apply right to the lawn and know that it is safe. I planned to use the fertilizer in the front areas mainly, and the weed control products all over the yard. My chickens get the run of our "back yard" (about 1/2 and acre) but are fenced off from the front because of the road. I don't understand why any chicken owners would go out and buy more chicken poo. The fertilizer is just pasteurized chicken manure.
