| Tips for a Healthy Garden |
50 Tips, Tricks, Hints & Facts for Natural Gardening
- Pest management begins with healthy soil. It produces healthy plants, which are better able to withstand disease and insect damage.
- Organic fertilizers are safer than chemicals. Chemical fertilizers may, in time, build up salts.
- Apply compost to your garden about two to four weeks before you plant, giving the compost time to integrate and stabilize within the soil.

| Say goodbye to aphids the natural way! |
Safe, natural and effective ways to control plant pests.
Ladybugs and their larvae devour destructive garden pests including aphids, corn borers, cabbage loppers, spider mites, scale, thrips, whitefly larvae and other sap sucking plant pests.
Simply water the affected area of your garden and release live ladybugs just before dusk; then keep the area watered to encourage your colony to settle in. As long as a ready food supply---especially aphids---exists, ladybugs will stay around and munch them right off your plants and lay new eggs. It is the larvae that eat the majority of the aphids. Even when the lady bugs fly away, if they've left eggs they've done their job! Includes approx. 1500 lady bugs.

| Really Smart Pots |
 Perfect for a compact
container garden
Recently we moved into a rental with no space in the yard to plant a garden. If it were my yard I would have no problem tearing up the grass, but since that was not an option, I set out to plant a container garden.
I needed some pots that would not take up a lot of space, but that would be sufficient to hold plants like tomatoes that require plenty of room for their roots. I decided on Smart Pots for the following reasons.
Why I chose Smart Pots
- Air Pruning - roots are air pruned. Roots will not get bound and circular so my plants will be comfortable and healthy without needing to be transplanted
- Very lightweight
- Attractive
- Easy to move
- Inexpensive
- Reusable - can be thrown in the washer with a little bleach to disinfect - how's that for easy!
