Our lawn and gardens are free of toxic chemicals and herbicides. Several years ago, the Grounds committee made the decision to stop using toxic materials on our property in order to protect the children who play on it and in order to be good environmental stewards. One manifestation of this policy occurs each spring when our sextons put Corn Gluten Meal on Trinity’s grounds instead of commercial weed and feed products. According to Iowa State University, “During the past ten years, Corn Gluten Meal has gained national attention as being the first effective organic herbicide.”
