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 teach you how to use a lawn sprayer to apply pesticides and fertilizers to your garden or lawn. He'll teach you how to assemble, inspect, and pressurize your lawn sprayer. He'll talk about lawn sprayer safety features and equipment, and about how to mix and apply the chemicals with your lawn sprayer before talking a bit about dealing with drift.
