Will definitely look into the book and the society.

I'm fortunate in that our use of herbicides is limited to application on the driveway and along the perimeter fencing.

I've taken the pesticide applicator course so I'm very aware of the ramifications.

In order to further reduce my use of herbicide I'm working with the master-gardner's at the local extension to identify the best native plants and grasses to grow along the fence-line and other areas not dedicated to the grove.
