Twenty Mule Team Borax</li>\r\n 	<li>dissolve in 4 oz. warm water</li>\r\n 	<li>then dilute in 2.5 gal. water</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Jeff Swano, <a href=\"https://www.digrightin.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dig Right In Landscaping Inc.</a></strong>\r\n\r\nIn my experience, Creeping Charlie tends to \"let go\" of the soil when its leaves turn bronze in late fall to early winter.  During this time, you can use a hard rake to grab a strand or strands and easily pull complete strings out of the ground and in lawns.\r\n\r\nIt is a very persistent weed, even with chemical controls.\r\n\r\n<strong>Michael Kormanik, <a href=\"https://www.iamgreenwise.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Greenwise Organic Lawn Care</a></strong>\r\n\r\nThe key is to tip the balance underground in favor of the grass plant.\r\n\r\nStart by addressing drainage issues through french drain system, swales, dry creek beds and other landscape techniques that redirect storm water and ground water to divert run off and help mitigate standing water.\r\n\r\nSecond, get more oxygen into the soil through <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/tough-mudder/\">annual core turf aeration</a>. When aerating, use a soil amendment such as lime, gypsum, calcium, or a blend such as Greenwise\'s PRIME Organic Soil Amendment. These are not fertilizers, they act as inert material to help keep the spacing in the soil and extend the effectiveness of the aeration.\r\n\r\nFor more information, please read about safe &amp; effective ways to control weeds here: <a href=\"http://www.iamgreenwise.com/got-weeds-dont-touch-that-roundup/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http://www.iamgreenwise.com/got-weeds-dont-touch-that-roundup/</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Shay Lunseth, <a href=\"http://www.organiclawnsbylunseth.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Organic Lawns by LUNSETH</a> </strong>\r\n\r\nI would say that multiple applications of <a href=\"http://extension.umd.edu/sites/extension.umd.edu/files/_docs/programs/ipmnet/Iron%20Herbicide%20Info-UMD-IPMnet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chelated iron</a> (2-4 in a season) works.\r\n\r\nYou can, also, heavy metal rake it in the spring.  This helps reduce its aggressiveness all season.\r\n\r\nFinally, seed with allelopathic grass varieties such as <a href=\"https://ipm.missouri.edu/MEG/2014/8/Understanding-Those-Fescues/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fine fescues</a> that naturally suppresses weeds around them.  This puts you on a good foot moving forward.\r\n\r\n<strong>Robert Boyce, <a href=\"http://www.robertcboyce.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Natural Environments</a></strong>\r\n\r\nCreeping Charlie competes well in shade.  Raise mower height and allow other species including sedges and grasses to grow.  Overseed with a shade grass seed.\r\n\r\n<em>Image: Creeping Charlie by the New York State IPM at Cornell University</em>','Creeping Charlie: How natural lawn care providers control them','','inherit','closed','closed','','3893-revision-v1','','','2017-06-30 15:43:59','2017-06-30 15:43:59','',3893,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/3893-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(3903,2,'2017-06-30 19:47:28','2017-06-30 19:47:28','<h1>Beating Back Bed Bugs</h1>\r\n<h3>Bed Bug Workshops for housing managers and others</h3>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">When<a href=\"http://bbinchicago-uptown.brownpapertickets.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-3810 size-full\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/2017-Regional-Bedbug-Flyer-5.03.17_final.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n</span></h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nJuly 19, 2017\r\n1:30 pm - 3:30 pm\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Where</span></h4>\r\nThurgood Marshall Branch Library\r\n731 E 63rd St, Chicago, IL, 60637\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Registration </span></h4>\r\nThese trainings are free!

Parks should provide safe, healthy places; however, many parks use pesticides on playgrounds and sports fields, along fence lines, and even to create grass-free zones around trees.\r\n\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center works to ensure safe and healthy parks for everyone. We engage with communities and park districts across the Midwest to reduce pesticide use and models in demonstrating how to manage green spaces in a healthy way for both people and the environment.\r\n\r\nContinue reading for <a name=\"Healthy\"></a> for: <a href=\"#Healthy\">A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</a>\r\n<h2>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park<span class=\"mceMediaCredit\"><span id=\"4\" class=\"media-credit-mce alignnone\" style=\"width: 255px;\"><span class=\"media-credit-dd\">\r\n</span></span></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MPAC-Healthy-Parks-Campaign-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-725 alignright\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MPAC-Healthy-Parks-Campaign-1-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy Parks Campaign Chicago\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" /></a>Midwest Pesticide Action Center created the <i>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</i> campaign, an outreach initiative designed to help communities adopt sustainable landscape maintenance practices that do not rely on the use of toxic chemicals.\r\n\r\nThe campaign helps address aesthetic concerns by emphasizing that the presence of dandelions in a park does not mean neglect, but a healthier park and safer place to play.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The first <i>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</i> campaign launched in Chicago during the spring of 2009 through a partnership with the largest municipal park manager in the country, the Chicago Park District.</li>\r\n 	<li>The Chicago Park District refined their landscape-maintenance practices to prevent the use of chemicals in 90 percent of Chicago’s 570 parks, raise awareness about the dangers of pesticide use in public spaces, increase the demand from residents for sustainably maintained parks, and save money.</li>\r\n 	<li>Over the last four years, the campaign prevented the use of 66,125 pounds of pesticide-active ingredients.</li>\r\n 	<li>By not spraying weed killer, the City saves $1.4 million per application.</li>\r\n 	<li>The campaign helped reduce community complaints about dandelions by 90 percent.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<blockquote>“The Park District strives to keep our Chicago parks a healthy place for everyone to enjoy. We are encouraging all Chicago residents to follow the Park District’s example and use more natural lawn care techniques that keeps your lawn safe and healthy.\"\r\n\r\n- Mike Kelly, Superintendent and CEO, Chicago Park District</blockquote>\r\nIn spring of 2012, the campaign expanded when Boulder, Colorado, adopted it to eliminate the use of synthetic chemicals on park property. In the last two years, the ongoing campaign, renamed as <i>Healthy Parks = Healthy People</i> continues to grow.

You can take your child to the park and let your baby crawl around on the grass and let your dog roll around on the grass and know that they are not going to be exposed to synthetic pesticides which studies have now shown are linked to cancer in children and dogs.”\r\n\r\n- Rella Abernathy, Integrated Pest Management Coordinator, Community Planning &amp; Sustainability, City of Boulder</blockquote>\r\n<h3>For More Information</h3>\r\n<b>Contact:</b> If interested in introducing the <em>A Natural Park is a Healthy Park</em> campaign to your community, contact us at <a class=\"more\" href=\"mailto:general@pesticideaction.org\">general@pesticideaction.org</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Activist\'s Toolkit</b>: For information on advocating for healthy spaces in your community. <a class=\"more\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ActivistToolkitUpdated.pdf\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Midwest Grows Green</b>: For information on reducing the climate impacts associated with lawn and garden care. <a class=\"more\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/midwest-grows-green/\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>What You Can Do:</strong> For tips on what you can do to promote healthy spaces in your community and home. <a class=\"more\" title=\"What You Can Do\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"more\" title=\"View all Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">View all resources</a>','Maintaining Healthy Parks','','inherit','closed','closed','','26-revision-v1','','','2017-07-27 17:14:24','2017-07-27 17:14:24','',26,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/26-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),
