May Pollution Prevention Tips-Herbicide Reduction Published May 8, 2012 By 17th Civil Engineer Squadron GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Missing "the way things used to be?" Well, you can create your very own retro vibe every day by pulling a few weeds out by hand! Whenever possible, try to purchase "weed free" top soil and organic seeds. Consider using landscaping fabrics in conjunction with gravel and mulch. Evaluate if silk pants and artificial turfs would make attractive additions to your landscape. Help eliminate the need for repeat applications of approved herbicides by watching the weather. Don't apply herbicides in windy conditions or if rain is expected within 24 hrs.
