  1. So, I came across a news story about #MaineJanesTacklers -- designed by a #Maine woman, and involving velcro and sticky tape. I thought to myself, "Couldn't I just make that out of #DuckTape / #DuctTape ?" Yes, I could #DIY it (and found some articles about how to do that). But if one wants to purchase the velcro ones, MaineJane's was sold to another #Maine business -- The Predator Pee Store (and yes, I am familiar with them). They are called #StopTickWraps and can be found at the link below.

    "Foggy Mountain® StopTickWraps are Wearable Velcro® Sticky Tick Traps that were originally invented by and marketed under the name MaineJane’s Tacklers by Jane Gower in #DresdenME, a small town in the mid-coast area of Maine. The area is known to have one of the highest rates of #LymeDisease in the nation and is also the area were Jane worked as a registered nurse. She has witnessed first-hand the burdens that these terrible diseases can put on patients and their families. This, combined with her experience as a #MaineGuide, motivated her to research and develop this safe, affordable, product that reduces the risk of acquiring tick borne diseases. #MaineOutdoorSolutionsLLC is very pleased to have the opportunity to purchase her product line and incorporate it in our Foggy Mountain® line of unique and useful outdoor products from Maine."

  2. I've had good luck using #NeemOil spray to get rid of #FungusGnats [test on a small spot to make sure your plant doesn't have a bad reaction]. Removing decaying plant matter also helps. And using a #PeatFree soil mix helps as well -- peat attracts fungus gnats (and peat really belongs in the bogs, not in our flower pots).

    How To Use Neem Oil For Fungus Gnats Control

    Neem oil is a non-toxic, all-natural pesticide with insecticidal properties that kill many pests on contact and help you get rid of gnats.

  3. Well I that’s the disappointing part about being #PesticideFree and #organic. 🤷🏻‍♂️I hate wasting the #pepper more than I think unripened, green peppers are an abomination so I’m going to chop these up and see if I can salvage them for use with breakfast potatoes. I hope no ody’s living inside my peppers. #garden #Gardening

  4. Can you help save the Coton Orchard? Largest traditional orchard in Cambs. 14 species recorded as Nationally Rare/Scarce. 41 Species of Principal Importance #PesticideFree #Biodiversity change.org/p/save-the-green-co

  5. Many pesticides are derived from fossil fuels.

    Pesticides on farms and in gardens are relevant to climate change discussions.

    Veganic approaches use no chemicals.
