AzaMax - Organic Pesticide

by Angela F.
(Huntington Beach, CA)

AzaMax is a good organic pesticide that comes in a 16 oz size - concentrated form, which makes it very economical for large garden areas. We've used it for the entire back yard planters that line the three walls. We have an herb garden, two small fruit trees, and a variety of roses and other flowers.

If you consistently use the product you'll definitely see a reduction of gnats and aphids without adding harmful chemicals. It's a food grade formulation which means those organic tomatoes stay organic!

It's bit on the pricey side ($65) but if you are part of a gardening group or co-op it would be easy to offset the purchase price by sharing within the group.

Bokashi Buckets

Earlier this year I began using Bokashi Buckets to recycle all our kitchen waste. I always thought it was a shame that I couldn't do something constructive with all the orange peels we generate in our household. Bokashi Buckets have provided a perfect solution and a great way to build soil in the raised beds all throughout the winter. Bokashi Buckets are a great alternative to composting, especially in the winter months.
