Gardens Alive Catalog is a Healthy Choice
Organic gardening is the healthy choice offered via the Gardens Alive catalog. Start with Organic Seeds. Feed with all-natural organic fertilizer. And manage the insects and disease with organic products. I really like this catalog because it ispacked with products and information. The section ” Gide to Common Insect Posts” is very helpful because it tells you how to control them, organically.
Each year several new varieties of organic seeds are presented in the catalog. Many of these are for specialty and hard to find varieties. On a few varieties, you can get All-Natural Plants, too. Here’s an idea of the organic seeds in the catalog: Asparagus (root bundles, 2 varieties), Cole Crops (8), Beans (10), Corn (7), Mellons (8), Eggplant (1), Cucumbers (5), Herbs (10), Sunflowers (3), Greens (17), Peas (7), Onions & Garlic (11), Peppers (4), Potatoes (4), Raish (2), Pumpkins (2), Squash (9), and Tomatoes (9). These a nice selection on Fruit. There’s also a Seed Sprouter and ten varieties of organis Sprout Seeds. Two Mushroom Kits — Portabella and Button — can be ordered.
To get your seeds going, I’ve found that a Seedling Heat Mat Starter is really great. More stuff to get started right: seed Starting Tray, Peat Pots and Seed Starting Mix. Natural Potting Soil promotes strong, healthy root development. Fertilizer and Essential Plant Nutrients are other important elements in realizing a successful garden. The catalog provides detailed information on major (phosphorous, nitrogen, & potassium) and minor plant nutrients magnesium, calcium, sulfur, copper, boron, manganese & iron). Color pics show the result of various nutrient deficiencies. With happy, thriving plants, you’ll want to keep them that way. The catalog devotes several pages, all with color pics, on identifying and controlling common insect pests, naturally. Over they years, the insect I’ve done battle with most is the Mealybug. The seem to love my orchids and I’ve found that Insecticidal Oil kills (smothers) the adults and larva. The catalog keeps you current with common diseases in gardens and orchards. More pages and color pics makes it easy to indentify problems and deal with them naturally.
I have an indoor greenhouse where I grow orchids. To combat Fungus Gnats, I find the sticky yellow Pot Stickers collect a lot of the bugs. But there’s another product I see in the catalog that kills the larva. The catalog suggests using the yellow stickers to monitor the effectiveness of the other product. Sounds good to me. And that’s just one example of how this catalog helps.
Beneficial insects (Lady Beetles, Green Lacewings, Trichogramma, Nematodes are all offered in the catalog)) are an effective way to manage the bad insects without the use of chemical pesticides. Gardens Alive adds a twist to the idea of by offering housing for beneficial critters — bats, toads and bees. The Starter Bat House give insect-loving bat a home base in your yard. Each bat means hundreds fewer bugs every night. Toads too eat insects. That’s why the Toad House adds a beneficial approach to managing damaging insects. Need pollinators around your garden or orchard? Then add the Mason Bee Nest ofered in the catalog. Mason Bees are 90% more efficient at pollinating plants than Honey Bees.
All natural lawn care fron the right seed, fertilizer, weed & insect control, mole control is covered in detail. Gardens Alive gives an example of how much you can save vs. a typical lawn care service. And you’re going the natural way with the Gardens Alive catalog.
