Organic Gardening Tips:

There are ways to control weeds and insects in a gardent without depending on chemical sprays. Here are some natural substances that work well and are easy on the environment.

Epsom Salt: Mixing common Epsom salt with a couple of other ingredients and spreading among garden plants can attract and kill a number of garden pests. Use 60-65% bran, 15% molasses, and 20-25% Epsom Salt. Salt also makes a good weed barrier along lawn edgings and other hard to reach places.

Cider Vinegar: Mix three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of molasses in a gallon of water for a solution to control fungus. For hardy weeds, add some salt to the vinegar for a stronger spray. Be sure to apply the vinegar mixture directly onto the weeds.

Hydrogen Peroxide: Mixing 8 Ounces of food grade hydrogen peroxide and 8 Ounces of white sugar or black strap molasses in a gallon of water makes a great garden insect spray, and is completely natural and harmless to humans and pets.
