Going green? Casey's decided a number of years ago to offer
organic solutions for our customer's lawn and gardening needs. Over the years,
customer interest in organics has grown and we have expanded our offerings. We
carry a full line of organic solutions for your lawn, garden and home. In deciding
to use organic methods, you first will need to accept the fact that you will likely
have more pest damage and lower crop yields than if you were employing chemicals.
Many people are willing to make this trade off. Listed below are just a few
of the organic products we carry and their uses. If you don't see what you are
looking for please give us a call (309) 828-1424 - we'd love to help you in your
efforts to "go green". For more helpful hints on going green, check

Lawn Care Milorganite Lawn Fertilizer
An excellent lawn fertilizer, Milorganite (6-2-0) contains 4% iron. Grass
leaves take up this iron, giving them a deep green color. However, unlike high
nitrogen fertilizers, iron does not make plants grow fast. The result is a lawn
with the color you desire without excessive growth (and mowing!). For the
best part, this deep green color stays with the lawn through hot, dry summer months.
Plus, because this iron is organically complex, it does not stain concrete, like
your drives, patios, sidewalks or other areas. Ideal for trees, shrubs and ornamentals,
too! Pelleted for easy application. Will not burn and safe for the environment.
50 lb. bag covers 3,100 sq. ft. Milky Spore Powder
#1 Japanese Beetle Control! Milky Spore (Bacillus popilliae) targets and discriminately
works to attack the white grubs of Japanese Beetles. Spreads naturally as each
infected beetle larvae dies, decomposes and releases billions of new spores into
the soil. According to the USDA, milky spore disease can suppress the development
of large beetle populations. Not harmful to beneficial insects, birds, bees, pets
or humans. Will not affect wells, ponds or streams. Back

| What is Neem
oil? Neem oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of
Neem (Azadirachta indica), an evergreen tree which is endemic to the Indian sub-continent
and has been introduced to many other areas in the tropics Neem works by interfering
with the insect's ability to molt. If a growing insect is not able to molt, it
will not reach sexual maturity and will therefore be unable to mate and reproduce.
This means that within a few life cycles, all the insects will die of old age
and there will be no more eggs left to hatch. | CedarCide
