If you try establishing your new organic lawn from seed, using no
herbicides, I think you'll see how difficult and expensive it would be
to commercially grow turf that way. If you compare that totally
organic approach to just using herbicides to the point that it's
established, thick and healthy and then going organic, the latter
approach seems a very reasonable compromise to me.

I've spoken to others who have said similar things. Thanks for the
advice :)
