Assembling a Lawn Duster

Today we know that many of the pesticides, fertilizers, and treatments used in commercial and home agriculture are hazardous to the environment. They can drain all the nutrients from the soil and poison any insects living there, rendering the land dead and stagnant. Cattle are often treated with hormones to produce more milk or larger muscles, and many of them are bombarded by pesticides and chemicals from the grass and feed they eat regularly. Gardening and lawn care, done with special attention to pesticide and fertilizer application, can be an effective way of minimizing our detrimental effect on the environment.

In this free video series, our expert Travis Steglich will talk about using lawn dusters for spreading pesticides and fertilizers. He'll show you the functions of dusters, how to load the hopper, how to get proper coverage with your duster, and how to deal with drift. He'll even give you a demonstration of a common fan assisted lawn duster.
