Want to avoid gas-powered equipment and toxic chemicals?
Here are some healthy alternatives:

If you decide to keep some lawn,
use a reel mower.

An electric mower is another good option.

Instead of spraying herbicides,
pull dandelions and other weeds
with a fish-tail weeder or other hand-tool.

Rake leaves by hand instead of using a blower.
Remember to leave some leaves on the ground
as cover for insects and to keep your soil healthy.

Mulch suppresses weeds, retains moisture
and keeps soil healthy.

If you need to prune shrubs,
clip them with hand-tools
rather than using powered pruning shears.
