The Earth Day search and destroy version of PESTICIDES alternatives seems more palatable with this ecconomy that left no money in our pockets to buy fertilizers or pesiticdes.So the smart way(meaning to save and or MAKE MONEY) is to check out what the Native Americans and other World INDEGENOUS people used to combut crop busters like pests and ants..etc!

Let us start with a US-UNIVERSITY study recently  concerning the use of pesiticides and its other effects on Humans and animals:

Alternatives to pesticides from your home-kitchen and grocery store shelves:

1-Ants Busters: Try to use corn gritts.A South Dakotta Lacota Chief miraculasly hinted on using the corn grits to combat the ANTS that were harrasing the sweat lodgers.Now gardeners and farmers are flocking to use the recipe to combat ANTS: Simply sprinkle the corn grits at the ants nests.Wait   and ye shall behold ..nothing else could round up those pests better than CORN GRITTS!

2-Serpents  busters:Once my neighbor tried a home made recipe to scare the serpents from his garden and when it was working he started to contemplate a patent and day dream of millions of $ in his bank account but offcourse it never happened:The recipe will scare the snakes away but not kill them.Sprinke the cat poop where you suspect snakes camp and watch out the exodus!Ancient Rome Farmers  -prior to the pistol and canon invention   -used gun powder (sulfur powder) to combat snakes)!

3-Racoons and other night garden critters :Spray with a mix of castile soap and oil od Palma Crist or commonly known as Castor Oil.If you have the leaf of the castor oil plant then use its tea mixed with castor oil to spray to discourage the nite raides of the Racoon family to harvest your crop!

4-Natural Kitchen ROUND UP alternative:To win the war on garden pests one need not to have an arsenel of biological weapons .Just use VINEGAR to combar WEEDS .I personally will add Epsom Salt to a HOT water solution of white vinegar and spray in the midst of the day at weeds !Aint so weird to use vinegar to combat weeds and save money on top!

Offcourse there are other SAFE and EDIBLE alternatives to CHEMICAL POISONOUS PESTICIDES like :NEEM OIL,Garlic oil,Cayenne pepper oil and so on so forth...For now start small and save by using your kitchen rather than the biological weapons of PESTS mass destruction.

On Earth Day Celebrations let us salute the farmers and gardeners who keep our children,animals and precious soiland CROPS  SAFE from POISONOUS PESTICIDES!
