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".

Organic 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.

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.
