In reply to Darlene Taylor. I'm glad to hear about the vinegar spray. Mostly, I just pull weeds by hand. For composting meat or bones, your compost would have to get pretty hot, and yes, in the meantime it might attract some critters. Thanks for caring about Mother Earth!

I’ve finally talked my husband into NOT using things like Round-Up to kill weed, instead we use vinegar to spray the weeds in our driveway. I HATE commercial weed killer, you never know what you doing to the earth.
And I already compost all my kitchen scraps, even the seeds from avocados. I don’t compost meat or bones though, I’d heard that you shouldn’t, plus we have Bears, Fox, Mountain Lions, Coyotes, etc. (we live in the Mountains of WV). Anyway, I would love to try your Ecoscraps…anything to help Mother Earth!!!

In reply to Saniel. I wish I had a neighbor who could send me eggs! :-) You're smart to start with a couple of plants and see how it goes. Let us know!

In reply to Saniel. Wow - you have neighbors who donate organic soil? That's pretty amazing. Good luck.

I’m starting off small because it’s my first time doing it myself and I don’t want too much to handle. tomatoes and potted herbs -so far so good. Love this product have a compost bin near my garden. Use this with donated organic soil from neighbors. Thanks

I started a flower garden this year and am trying tomatoes, I think it’s great to grow and buy local. Organic is even better. If my tomatoes grow good I will try more next year. 🙂 My neighbor has chickens and sends over a dozen eggs to us here and there. 🙂 So sweet of her.

In reply to Gina B. So true (and I love the image of your hungry minions!). Anyway, it's never too late to start, even with container gardening on the back porch.

I’m not much of a gardener, but my kids learned at school. Now that there are so many great organic options, especially this compost, now might be the time to start one in my backyard! I love how you can recycle food and it’s good for the bees, the environment and – if we grow produce – my own hungry minions 🙂

Wow! 6 beehives!! I’m so jealous. Thanks for all your efforts – and those of your sisters – to grow organic and keep our pollinators happy.
