Organic Gardening
Organic Moosey Praying Mantis
Organic gardening ideas aren't new, and they can teach us a great deal. Mooseys is as organic as it can be, and tries to be aware of the bigger organic gardening environment.
Many ornamental sprays will kill beneficial insects like ladybirds - and who by choice wants to have nasty chemicals on their vegetables? Chemicals don't just stay on the surface, either - they can leach down into aquifers and contaminate water supplies.
