Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 I have been looking for completely all natural products for cleaning etc. Some of these can also be used as a bug repellent etc. As for the gardening part, I dont do alot but, I will not use weed killers and harsh chemicals.

I mulch heavily, this improves the soil as the mulch rots, it eliminates weeding, and it cuts down drastically on the need for watering. I buy hay or straw to mulch with, plus we use the grass clippings from mowing our yard. There are some organic (more or less natural) products though that can rescue you if your garden has various insect infestations. I use some of these occasionally, also floating row covers to prevent the insects landing on the plants and laying eggs. The point of this somewhat rambling post is to recommend an online supplier who I think is excellent - I've dealt with them for a number of years and I think their products are very good. http://www.gardensalive.com Pat -- Pat Meadows CLICK DAILY TO FEED THE HUNGRY United States: http://www.stopthehunger.com/ International: http://www.thehungersite.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
