Fertilizers and insecticides (bonus for your pets!)

Instead of using pesticides and other harmful chemicals, use natural, environmentally friendly products that you can find in the stores. They are easy to use and are highly effective, containing minerals that are natural by products of partly decayed organic matter.

Weed control

Submitted by blue_moon on Sun, 06/20/2010 - 20:16

Instead of using harmful chemicals, do a little digging into your cupboard for vinegar (either regular white or pickling vinegar) and placing in a small spray bottle and praying those nasty weeds when they are seedlings. Using vinegar on them after they have matured will only kill the exposed plant and not the root. Soap-based products in liquid spray form is effective in spot-treating some weeds such as bindweeds.
