Be smart. Be EcoSMART.
Readers, don’t take that wrong. You are very smart, I know this because for the most part you spell words right in the comments. 🙂 But seriously, are you AS smart as you CAN be when it comes to the environment?
I know for me personally there is always SOMETHING more I could do to reduce my carbon footprint and to give back to the environment. One major way I am SMART is by having a garden. In my garden I grow my very own fruits and vegetables. Gardens are a great thing, but unless you use environmentally safe pesticides, you might as well not garden at all, instead buy organic.
But if you want to be SMART in the garden you might want to try EcoSMART – the world’s safest, most effective pesticides based on natural ingredients. EcoSMART is what I’ll be using on my garden this season… let’s share a few of their product with you…
Garden Fungicide (24 oz spray bottle)
Quick Overview
Disease control for roses, flowers & shrubs. Prevents and controls black spot, rust, powdery mildew, blight and other common plant diseases.
My Thoughts
I will definitely be using the garden fungicide on my flowers, plants & trees to prevent anthracnose, black Spot, blight, botrytis, powdery mildew, rust leaf spot, scab and other diseases. I have had plants that I have dedicated so much time and effort to – but then they die because of diseases that take over – it is a HUGE disappointment! So I’ll be using this spray to make certain that it doesn’t happen again. You better believe I will be spraying this on them at the first signs of disease.
Garden Insect Killer (24 oz spray bottle)
Quick Overview
Kills and repels garden insects and mites. Kills exposed eggs, larvae and adult stages. Safe for all plants in and outside of the garden.
My Thoughts
I can’t help but feel safe when spraying this on my plants because o the list of active ingredients such as rosemary oil, peppermint oil, thyme oil, clove oil, etc. I can spray this on my plants and not worry about harvesting them later – in fact, you can spray and harvest safely in the same day!
Weed & Grass Killer (24 oz spray bottle)
Quick Overview
Kills all types of weeds and grasses. For use on patios, walkways, driveways, around trees and shrubs, along fences and foundations and in other areas of your yard.
My Thoughts
The weed and grass killer worked wonders on the annoying grass that filled in the cracks on the side of our house. I will be using this weed and grass killer further on our cement walkway, driveway and sidewalk. I am going to get at it a.s.a.p. so I can stop the weeds and grass while they are actively growing. But I might wait a few weeks because this product works best in temperatures above 60°. It’s spring, but we’re not quite there yet!
Insect Repellent 6 oz. Bottle
Quick Overview
Keeps bugs away for hours and is safe for the entire family. We don’t use DEET or other synthetic chemicals. Our powerful, all-natural formula is made from organic plant oils, and repels mosquitoes, ticks, gnats and other annoying pests for hours.
My Thoughts
I am one of those people that gets eaten alive when I step outside after the sun goes down. Literally I will be camping with friends and come home with 30+ bites where as my friends might have a few. This product will be sure to get used over and over again this summer, especially in the garden. Last year the garden was a mosquito attack fest on my arms and legs! Well that is changing this year because I will have the protection of my EcoSMART insect repellent.
OTHER PRODUCTS – Bed Bug Killer & Repellent and Mosquito Fogger
Other products that caught my eye:
As for the Mosquito Fogger, I don’t think I have to tell you twice why I am intrigued by this! You spray it in the air instead of on you to kill and repel mosquitoes, flies, gnats, moths and more! It is like an invisible tent! Finally you can have a picnic in peace (no bugs flying down on your food!)
You might be thinking I have had or have a bed bug infestation and this is why I am interested in the bed bug killer and repellent – but thankful no and no. BUT they have caused a HUGE issue in hotels and some major cities. They are no joke PEOPLE! And since I practically live in hotels – I a terrified of getting them! (Oh Ps – did you hear they found them on an American Airlines plane, ewwww!! Bug Bomb!) They are serious little bugs and this travel size spray would be fine bringing it through TSA security!
Overall, I love that using EcoSMART essentially makes me SMART! By using this brand I am doing my part – using organic garden products and keeping the bad chemicals out of the soil and water! Not only am I looking out for the big picture, I am looking out for me! I am directly taking care of my family and I’m not putting those nasty, harmful chemicals on the fruits and veggies that I eat (and the plants my dog sometimes eats too!) And since my dog sometimes decides to eat plants she isn’t supposed to – I am thankful they have no adverse effects on mammals, birds, and fish. Get Your Own!! EcoSMART’s household products are available in leading retail stores and online.
