Thinking About Pesticides

As part of Gardening Week, we want to call your attention to all that stuff you dump on your lawn every year. Pesticides can keep bugs away from your daisies, but they may also be harmful for you and the environment. Remember the following during your next trip to grab all your garden goodies:

• Try an organic pest remover that is environmentally safe.
• Old coffee grounds keep away bugs (Starbucks offers their old grounds for free).
• Marigolds can deter the bag bugs.

With 110,000 folks poisoned from pesticides annually, any effort you make is worth it.
