I have problems in my area with fly’s, mosquitoe’s, chigger’s, no see-em’s. and flea’s. I will not use DEET because it is neurotoxic to humans and dogs. I found a great all natural product at a fair called Bug’S~OFF all natural insect spray repellent. This stuff is very effective and smells great. I sprayed my dog and myself before hiking in our Florida backwoods and I’m living proof that you do not need DEET to keep the bugs off you or your dog. I try to pay it forward when good thing come my way so you have been tagged. Now it’s your turn to share some good news. Help save our enviornment. [End]

I just did a report on Bt (am a college student), its is a natural insecticide that plants/soils produce to protect themselves. So it is natural, and won’t harm other plants in your garden, but it will likely kill many of the good bugs as well as the bad ones. It is especially potent to caterpillars, and a much better product than a pesticide however. I would recommend it compared to the other options! [End]

Equine and human urine contains the spore that causes tetanus. Mixing urine and vegetable gardening is theoretically possible IF everything goes right. Like, for instance, no rusty nails...Tetanus.

If you have back problems here is the best place for advice. It is a back surgery site but has a huge selection of articles on preventing and dealing with back problems. ... www.herniateddiscbacksurgery.com [End]
