Also, never use a weed and feed product on your lawn as the weed killing part of it can kill your trees and shrubs. We are cautioned to never use weed and feed due to the harmful chemicals that will run off into the ground water.

Where could something like this be found? Organic fertilizers sound like they would be healthier for my food plants since I am pregnant.
