fertilizer for lawn #744418

Asked April 15, 2021, 7:30 AM EDT

Good morning I am considering putting Ringer's lawn fertilizer and wondered if it was safe. All of the labels state it is organic and I want to make sure. Also, do you know of a way to remove moss from a roof without using chemicals? Thank you, Robin
