Guest Post – Sustainability Through the Consumption of Things Conserved

Congratulations to you, Ashley!
Thank you. I found out that I won after a very stressful day. It really turned my day around.
Hi! I would like to encourage people to use non-chemical fertilizers and insecticides. Insecticides are poison- they kill the beneficial insects (and birds and get into the water supply…etc) that help the soil and plants stay healthy . I make a recipe from Howard Garrett’s book, which includes molasses, seaweed fertilizer, and garlic to deter unwanted insects.
Study shows (on a pro-organic site) that organic pesticides also kill the good bugs too! (ladybugs, bees, etc.)
