What fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides do you use?

Herbicides can kill both the ivy and the tree.

Among the thousands of known weed species, only eight or 10 are known to induce allergies. Many species of weeds, however, have become resistant to herbicides. And that means more money will be needed for health and agricultural research, including new and safer methods of controlling weeds.

Natural flowering species can be threatened by over-use of herbicides on farms and the introduction of non-indigenous plants in the ever-expanding suburban areas of the state.
