| Make Your Own Organic Plant Fertilizer Tea Bag
|
|
"For gardens to grow, they need to be fertilized. Unfortunately, commercially available fertilizers are an unregulated product that may contain toxic wastes. Happily, you can easily make your own organic plant fertilizer "tea bag" -- and save some money at the same time."

Deer don't like eggs! This recipe is easy to make and fairly inexpensive, it calls for 18 eggs. You can also make small batches.

| More Starter Pots
|
|
A way to 'make' peat pots is to cut up the 100% recycled newspaper egg cartons. Fill with soil and start your plants, transplant entire piece into ground, wetting the egg container just before placing in soil (this helps to quicken the decomposition process).

| Shadecloth Planter Bag
|
|
By Ron Williams
|
|
Why not use some of that scrap shadecloth lying out in the shed to make your own hanging grow bags, these planters are an ideal way of growing things like petunias, strawberries or any other plant which works well in a hanging basket. They are also good for growing plants, where space is at a premium. This is a great way of growing plants for people who can't bend over for plants in the ground.

| Make Citrus Oil for Insect Control
|
|
Make citrus oil to keep aphids, white flies, fire ants and mosquitoes away! Soak the rinds of 2 orange peels in 1 gallon of water (closed) for about 10 days. Strain out the rinds/peels and store in mason jars until ready to use. If you will be applying to fire ant mounds, apply full strength. If spraying on plants, dilute 2 ounces of citrus oil with one gallon of water to avoid burning plants.
You'll be an organic gardener in no time.
