Rebirth of the Manual Mower:
“Since World War II, the gas-powered, walk-behind lawn mower has been a staple in garages across the country. However, the manual lawn mower is making a quiet comeback. In the 1980s, about 50,000 manual lawn mowers were sold each year in the U.S. Today's eco-friendly culture has lead to the rebirth of the lawn mower. In 2006, homeowners purchased an estimated 350,000 manual lawn mowers.”

What’s wrong with that fertilizer?
“Chemical fertilizers provide an "empty" type of food directly to the plants. This is like the empty calories we get from eating pure refined sugar. Microbes provide full service to the plants. They decompose dead plant and animal residues to humus; combine nitrogen and carbon to prevent nutrient loss; suppress disease; produce plant growth regulators; develop soil structure, tilth, and water penetration/retention; clean up chemical residues; shift soil pH toward neutral; retrieve nutrients from distant parts of the soil; decompose thatch; and control nitrogen supply to the plants according to need. Besides that, if a chemical fertilizer contains NPK of 10-10-10, nobody knows what the 70% of unlisted stuff is in the chemical bag that is not fertilizer.”
