There\u2019s just one problem &#8211; the native flowers so beloved by local wildlife look an awful lot like weeds in George\u2019s yard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was going to use RoundUp to get rid of the weeds, my wife had a fit,\u201d George said. \u201cShe said it would give me cancer. And make spots in the lawn, which I honestly think is what bothers her about this entire situation. But you know, to make her happy, no RoundUp. Instead, I am out there on my hands and knees pulling out each little bit of crabgrass. And it just keeps coming back!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The battle against crabgrass is real. Like many broad leafed weeds, crabgrass is an incredibly efficient and productive plant. One single mature crabgrass plant can produce enough seed to start a thousand new plants growing. Trying to defeat crabgrass by pulling the weeds is just never going to work.<\/p>\n<p>To defeat crabgrass, you need to eliminate it in the soil before it grows. This isn\u2019t RoundUp or any other chemical that will harm you, your family, or your pets. The best <a href=\"\/boston-ma\/\">local lawn care service<\/a> eliminates weeds without disrupting local pollinator plant growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor once, everyone can be happy. My daughter gets to keep her pollinator patch, at least through the fall which is apparently when the butterflies migrate or whatnot. Did you know Monarchs fly all the way to South America? It\u2019s actually pretty amazing. And my front lawn looks the way a front lawn should. My house fits the image I want it to have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a similar situation yourself? Here\u2019s how to get in touch with your local lawn service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMy daughter has a fit every time I cut the lawn,\u201d George said. \u201cShe\u2019s worried about the pollinators.
