Myth: Moss growth in lawns shows a need for lime.
This is not necessarily true. Acidic conditions could be responsible for moss crowding out your grass, but so could excessive shade, poor drainage, low fertility, and a host of other causes. When conditions do not favor healthy turf, moss can take over.
Myth: When it comes to garden chemicals, if a little bit is good, a lot is better.
This myth is not only false but dangerous. Doubling or tripling the dose of any garden input can have disastrous results. Weed killers used in this manner' can injure plants you never intended to harm, not to mention leaving long-lived residues in soil. Over-use of insecticides may kill beneficial bugs, harm plants, and render vegetables unfit for consumption. Doubling the recommended rate of any pesticide increases the chances of poisoning people by inhalation, absorption through the skin and by other routes.
Fertilizers used too heavily willburn plants, prevent seed germination and contaminate water resources. Even organic fertilizers such as manure can cause harm if you use too much.
