A healthy and thriving lawn provides many benefits like it helps to keep air temperatures cooler in the summertime like other plants, grass draws carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and gives off oxygen and turf is an ideal outdoor carpet for amusement activity. The chemicals even when used correctly can wash the lakes, rivers and groundwater and can contaminate the whole water. There should be a proper storage in the lawn so that while working in the lawn it is easier to get the equipments in time. There can be a shade or a proper storage place in the lawn to maintain all the equipment and seeds from getting rotten in the moist out side.
Lawn care tools
The lawn care kit includes tools and equipment, cool season grasses, interpreting labels, lawn diseases, lawn insect pests, lawn weeds and procedures and techniques. These kits provide the basis for interactive learning experiences for storage in the lawn. Kit components include posters, labels, statements, demonstration items and charts to keep lawn tiptop.
Storing pesticides
The pesticides that are not in use should be stored in an area well away from living areas and children. The place one chooses should have a cement floor and be well ventilated, insulated from temperature extremes and out of direct sunlight. The most important is keeping out of a child's reach. A locked metal cabinet in garage is usually a good storage place for pesticides just remember, liquid pesticides freeze. Always keep pest control products in their original containers with labels intact in it for security. Pesticides can seriously contaminate the local environment if not taken care properly and if they spill. If a pesticide leaks or is spilled in the garage, on the driveway or on other outdoor areas, do not wash down the spill. This will cause further pollution and may carry the pesticide to storm sewers or other near by water sources. The best way to clean a small spill is to surround the contaminated area with dirt, sprinkle kitty litter, vermiculite or some other porous material over the spill. Sweep the absorbent material into a sturdy plastic bag and put it in the trash. Wear rubber gloves and long pants, rubber boots too while cleaning up. Keep pets and other people away from that area. Wash down the area with water or detergent after removing as much of the pesticide as possible. So it is recommended to store these thins properly.
