Karen’s Opinion

My flower gardens are blooming as if it were August. That is when they usually get full and looks their best. We had so much rain in June that they are a month ahead of schedule. It would be alright to have them in full bloom now if not for the fact that some of them think it is fall. They are already drying up and going to seed. It is so sad. I cut down the dried stalks and was happy to see that this late bloomer is looking very pretty. It is called gray feather.

I grew up in the days when we thought it was okay to pour motor oil on the weeds in our driveway. We needed to get rid of the oil after we changed it in our car and what better way to get rid of weeds! We found out later that we were hurting our valuable resources. That oil would find its way to our rivers and streams causing the water to be polluted. Yikes!

We now know how the things we put on the ground affect our earth but I still need to find ways to kill weeds and bugs. I hate that my roses have holes in their leaves from pesky bugs. That is why I especially am glad to have discovered EndALL insect spray. This bug killer dissolves in the soil with no residual! While some organic bug sprays are expensive, EndALL is economical. That means more money to buy plants. This unique formulation of organic insecticides is easy to apply and kills bugs in all stages of life. From larvae to adult pests, this easy to use formulation works on flowers, fruits, vegetables lawn, landscape, ornamentals and houseplants.

I learn so much at the Safer®Brand website. For instance, I found this snippet about controlling garden pests:

Insects, Weeds, and Diseases–these are the unwelcome visitors to our lawns, landscapes and vegetable gardens. Traditionally these are controlled with man made chemicals that have consequences beyond controlling unwanted pests.

Nature has strategies to deal with these pests without the use of synthetic chemicals. Organic control options are ideal for the consumer who wants a beautiful lawn and garden without the risks of these man made chemicals and poisons.

We all need help in our gardens and flower beds. Safer®Brand brings you a variety of effective insecticides that are gentler on the environment! Most of them proudly display the OMRI Listed® organic seal and comply for use in organic gardening! I recommend EndALL.
