I have two children (1 and 2) that love to eat plants and dirt. I love the idea of a product that doesn’t hurt them or the environment.
Wow, this is great. We just started our own vegetable garden and it is good to know there are quality, safe products out there that we can use.
I think anytime we can avoid chemicals that can have detrimental effects on our children (even if there is no proof) it is a good idea!
wow, that’s great – safe products for the home with no worry about harming children, pets or the environment.
I think products that have no effect on people, pets or the environment should be the norm in today’s society. I have two young kids and two dogs, and love to garden and would like to have my plants bigger and my lawn weed free but I refuse to use products that are full of poisons. Keep up the good work EcoSMART, and my hope is very soon, using safe products will be something we all will do.
I would love to try this.
I started my first garden in the middle of the summer(we just moved) and the bugs ate more of the corn than we did! I don’t want to use any harmful chemicals and would love to try these products for my new garden. I am about to do some fall planting this week, so these would come in handy!
Isn’t it obvious? EcoSMART’s products are an important part of the message that I’m sending to my kids on a daily basis: take care of the Earth and it will take care of you. We stress recycling, eating right, conservation, etc. and we can’t forget to include the earth in our own backyard. When we use safer products to control what’s going on back there, we’re making a better choice for everyone who uses it.
As I type this my home is being invaded by ants…cayenne pepper, cornstarch, white vinegar all have not done the trick. =)
