Congratulations to VickieB, who random.org selected as the winner. She'll receive the Safe Plant and Garden Value Bundle. Thanks to everyone who entered!
Bugs and weeds! Every gardener hates ‘em. Unfortunately, most of the bug and weed killers out there are full of chemicals that (while killing the aforementioned enemies) are doing who-knows-what to our bodies and planet.
I was recently introduced to EcoSMART and gave some of their products a try. They manufacture home pest control products including a natural ant killer.
The active ingredients in their products are essential plant oils, which is just perfect for the BrownThumb house and all associated critters.
I tried the Safe Plant and Garden Value Bundle, which contains
-- Weed and Grass Killer
-- Garden Fungicide
-- Garden Insect Killer
-- Insect Repellent
Jackjack and I loved the Insect Repellent and it works great. It contains rosemary oil, cinnamon leaf oil, lemongrass oil, and geraniol (a plant-based mosquito repellant). It smelled wonderful and not chemical-y like Off. The weed killer also worked wonders on the dandelion invasion that sprung up overnight in the front yard. Hooray!

I would love to try these. With Paul working on anti-pesticide stuff we are always trying to find good, alternative products to use.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the Safe Home Value Bundle. We have 'sugar' ants. I just found some in a cupboard we have never had them in before.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried spraying weeds with vinegar on a sunny day? I add 1 TBSP table salt to 1 qt vinegar and spray my danelions early on a sunny day. It works!

I would love to try the plant and garden value bundle. This year I'm a new gardener and have been trying to figure out how to keep the pests at bay. I'd like to give this a try. Maybe this year my green beans will produce more without slugs!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the Safe Plant and Garden bundle. I use all non toxics around my vegetable garden but still use a small amount of Round Up and pesticides away from it once a year. I'd like to try alternatives for those also.

The Safe Plant and Garden bundle is what I'd like to try. As an organic gardener, I'm always looking for ways to manage my garden and fruit trees without chemicals and harmful substances.

ReplyDeleteAll of them look great but I think I would get the most use out of the Safe plant and garden value bundle. I am going to seek out the insect repellent regardless with all of the rain we got this year we have plenty of mosquitoes.
ReplyDeleteI like the Safe Plant and Garden value bundle.
