Clean Up Safely and Cheaply

 

Time for Summer house and garden clean-up projects.  Do something different.  Instead of spending a bundle on weed-killers and preventatives or cleaning products, make your own.  Search the Web for “non-toxic weed (or insect) control” and “homemade cleaners.”  Or send me an email at [email protected] and I’ll email you back a whole bunch of alternatives and recipes to do those jobs more cheaply and with far more earth-friendly substances.

Tip: Clean Up from Winter

As you clean up your yard from the winter, set aside a spot and start a compost pile.  If you prefer, there are many easy-to-use composting containers available on the market (no worms required).  Ask at your local garden store.  If composting isn’t to your liking, at least make sure to recycle all those yard clippings and debris in the weekly curbside pickup.
