Recent government regulations have removed many familiar garden products from garden center shelves. These regulations are imperative in preventing overuse of chemicals, and go a long way in protecting both ourselves and the many beneficial animals in the garden. Both experts and gardeners are needing to familiarize themselves with new, safer controls.
