Garden Secrets!
...Using Nature, to Fight Nature.
What do I mean, by let nature take as much control over the equilibrium I strive for? I use natural organic fertilizer. I prefer to use my own compost or a compost from a very trusted source. I prefer not to have man made chemicals in the fertilizers. I don't use weed killers (Other than my hands and some clippers).
All fertilizers have chemicals. In fact, all things on the planet are some form of chemical. Water is simply H20. A chemical.
But I prefer chemicals that are naturally occurring. So, I compost my greenery and use it next year. bagged compost is natural. No non -organic materials. My liquid fertilizers are also. So, how do I handle bugs? For snails, baking soda or salt. For aphids, I prefer lady bugs. My daughter and I were out weeding today and came across a bunch of ladybugs. They LOVE to eat aphids, so, we moved them to the garden, for aphid control. That one of them decided to take a ride on my daughter's face, well... that just made for a better pic!
