Go Green in Your Garden

May 29, 2008 by Holly
Filed Under: Gardening, Green Living, Home & Food

I have noticed that there are quite a few more “go green” commercials airing on television. Not only that, but many companies have seen to pick up the same tactics in all consumer media–Television, online, magazines; you name it, and it’s going green.

Companies want you to buy organically–Food, bath and body products, laundry detergents and so on, but when I got down to thinking, one place where you should most definitely be letting your eco-friendliness shine is when you’re using your green thumb.

Don’t let your plants and flowers soak up all the green in your garden. Many gardeners don’t realize simply how ironic it is that you’re growing green but you’re not necessarily going green when it comes to most small gardens and one of the most controversial elements when it comes to your garden are the products you are using to help keep your garden beautiful. One of the biggest things that can keep your garden from looking it’s best are weeds and instead of spending an entire day pulling weeds out by hand when you can be tending to the other aspects of your garden, you must find yourself an excellent weed killer.

Weed killers aren’t environmentally friendly; in fact, weed killers use harsh chemicals to kill weeds, but while you may think that they are getting the job done in that department, they are also harming your other plants–And that goes triple if you have a vegetable garden! Luckily, there is now an organic herbicide that is safe to use for you, your pets and children and the environment.

Nature's Avenger Nature’s Avenger is an all-natural organic herbicide that is completely natural and designed to meet the needs and demands of gardeners, homeowners and Mother Nature.

It has been approved for use in organic production, is fast-acting with visible results in just two hours or even less and it is also highly biodegradable. It is made with natural citrus oil, which means you aren’t dealing with harsh chemicals with harsh chemical smells. With Nature’s Avenger, your sense of smell, braincells and health of pets and children are fully taken care of.

Nature’s Avenger is available is a 24oz pre-mixed, pre-measured, easy to use spray bottle and also in 32oz and 1 gallon concentrates and can be purchased through their website or on Amazon.

    These are some great gardening tips. I need to start going more green with products in the house.

  2. Promotional Items on Thu, 29th May 2008 4:00 pm 

    Of course there are more Green commercials on TV, radio and newspapers. Of course, also online.
    I think people are finally realizing the importance of protect our environment, save our natural resources and keep the earth habitable for next generations.
    thanks God I work for a company promoting the green cause and I hope every day more people enjoy us!

    The green bandwagon is packed with businesses who, only a short time ago, dismissed any need to address their ecological credentials. Hopefully wisdom will prevail but, for the time being, the ‘buyer beware’ situation persists.

    Not only are there environmentaly friendly weed products but also some home made ideas.
    I learned if you poor boiling water or vinegar on weeds it will kill them. Hope this idea helps everyone’s garden.

  9. Scrapbooking Ideas on Sun, 15th Jun 2008 3:12 pm 

    Great post! There’s another environmentally safe weed killer that works great–Salt Water. That’s right, just pour a healthy amount of salt in a bucket of warm water and spray it on your weeds. They’ll wither within a week…and it’s environmentally safe!

  10. Worx GT on Tue, 17th Jun 2008 11:16 am 

    Some great suggestions on getting rid of weeds. I’m going to try out the boiling or warm water techniques on my garden today.

  11. How to plan a garden on Fri, 20th Jun 2008 4:40 am 

    Yes, it’s good to see companies stepping up and creating products which can help the environment. For too long now we have been trying to not think about it, but it’s time we do.

    I have already started to switch over to many eco-friendly products in my garden.

  12. doctor note on Fri, 20th Jun 2008 8:06 am 

    Its good to see many companies nowadays care for the world. With lots of this kind of products at least we could help restore the environment buy buying and use them.

  13. whimsical garden decor on Mon, 23rd Jun 2008 2:03 am 

    I’ll have to look for that product here in Canada. I need something for my roses and veggies. Going green in the garden just makes sense and I’m sure more people will get into it with education. Personally I usually look homemade solutions. If I can mix my own earth friendly solution than I do. Not sure what to use for my current garden problems though.

  14. patty on Sat, 28th Jun 2008 9:47 pm 

    it’s important to read labels and verify which items are truly green and eco-friendly vs the ones that use the “green” banner as just another marketing tool.

  15. Textbook Rentals on Wed, 23rd Jul 2008 4:50 pm 

    Go Green by renting textbooks. Each time a book is rented, a tree is planted – and many more are saved because the book will be returned and reused.

  16. Pays to live green on Sat, 26th Jul 2008 7:04 am 

    Great product. I have been looking for an organic herbicide to use in my garden and have had a hard time finding one in my area. I guess I will have to buy it online.

  17. Bath and Body on Wed, 30th Jul 2008 11:07 am 

    I have a lot of respect for companies that sell all natural organic products, that are conscious about product safety and are knowledgeable about the endless benefits of using pure ingredients from nature. The other day I was using a dead sea soap bar, which has all sorts of essential oils and plant butters, but it also has real dead sea mud and walnut husk for exfoliation. My skin has never felt better after using it. The best part about natural bath and body products is that the scents are totally natural, subtle but give off amazing aroma, which you cannot compare to products that use synthetic fragrances. I wish there were more all natural products out there and hope that one day they will replace all the shelve products we find in stores.

    Keep the world always green. So just followed this tips to applied friendly material for gardening hobbies.

  19. Herbicide on Wed, 15th Apr 2009 5:32 pm 

    That’s a really good tip. It is always good to use things that are environmental friendly. It prevents bad long term effects.

  20. Lewis Gardens on Wed, 13th May 2009 9:24 am 

    Thsnks for sharing the Nature’s Avenger product. I used to use one of the poisonous herbicides around my flower beds, but a few years ago switched to a vinegar and salt combination to kill weeds.

    This is a great article and I love how it goes into a “Energy save mode”. This is a great way to ensure the continual existence of the human race. There is also a huge following of green roofs. What is green roof? It is basically what the name implies. It is a roof that is green…haha. You basically have a roof that you grow greens in. It helps save “green” by lowering your monthly heating or cooling bills. You can Google it and see how much of a following it has.

  28. Green Homes on Wed, 26th May 2010 8:30 am 

    It is great to see more people doing their part for the environment – be it reducing the amount of chemicals you are dumping into the water table, or building environmentally friendly smart homes, or biking to work…even just once a week.

  29. vegetable garden planning on Mon, 7th Jun 2010 7:58 pm 

    Natures Avenger is awsome! thanks for the recommendation! I stopped using bad chemicals in my garden. It’s all organic from here on out

  30. LJ on Thu, 1st Jul 2010 8:59 am 

    I haven’t tried that product, but I have tried a few of the others mentioned here. Here’s what I learned. The organic weed killer using iron needs either a heavy wetting, or a double dose, to be even slightly effective. Another way to dry them out is concentrated vinegar. You can freeze-concentrate the store stuff – remove 1/2 the water as ice. It didn’t work with the tough weeds, though, even concentrated.
