Should I mulch or bag my grass clippings?

Bag! Lawns in Manitoba grow far too quickly to mulch effectively. Mulching too much grass too quickly can lead to a quick build-up of thatch that will in turn, make your lawn more susceptible to stress, disease, and insect infestations.

My lawn was ravaged by Chinch Bugs last summer. Will insecticides be banned as well?

Chinch bugs are the most devastating affliction to a lawn. The damage they cause is abrupt, ferocious, and permanent. Even worse, their damage continues, even after they are eradicated, as the poison they have injected into the lawn continues to do its damage. As if this weren’t enough, Chinch bugs also lay eggs that will over winter and hatch next season. But protecting your lawn isn’t as hard as you might expect. All you need to do is keep your lawn watered when conditions become hot or dry. Chinch bugs only afflict full-sun, high and dry areas of the lawn. Keeping your lawn well watered will deter them. Even as they hatch, they will move away from moist lawns and towards neighbouring drier lawns.
