This is a very interesting article about the use of pesticides on vegetable and fruit crops. This is just another example as to why we all should be pushing for everything to be grown organically. Throughout history people have grown crops around the world and did not have synthetic or conventional fertilizers to use on their crops and yet their crops survived.
How is this possible? It is because they would use materials that were already found in nature to help control the pests. Mother Nature provides us with some of the best natural and organic material that can be re-used over and over again to help control pest populations in crops and our very own gardens.
Our product, All Out, contains selected essential plant oils, botanical extracts, and complex carbohydrates. All of these are already found in nature. It contains castor oil, cedar oil, and garlic oil. It's the natural way of defending against pests.
Imagine being able to have piece of mind that you and your children are eating food that is organically grown like Mother Nature intended it to be. The use of pesticides and their long term effects on us are not readily known. This article suggests that they could be causing ADHD in children. Although the study does not out right prove this is the case it certainly sheds some light on the possibility that pesticides and insecticides used by major crop growing companies could possibly be harming us.

Pesticides Linked to ADHD
New Raised Garden and Tomato Plants
We planted some tomato plants about three weeks ago. We used an all organic soil to plant these tomato plants. We have three plants and two of them we treated with Envirogreen of Florida's Complete and ExtremeTek. The difference in the plants is amazing. One of our plants already has two tomatoes growing on it. We will continue to update you with pictures as they continue to grow. Below are the pictures of our tomato plants:
The plant on the left and the one in the center were treated with our product.

Another tomato plant treated with Complete and ExtremeTek.
The one tomato plant that we did not treat with anything. It's only nutrients come from the organic soil.
We also built a raised garden bed over the weekend. In the bed we have green, yellow, and red sweet bell peppers. We also have banana peppers, carrots, and cilantro planted. The entire garden has been treated with Complete and ExtremeTek. The raised garden can be found at Home Depot for $59.97.
The box is 4' L x 4' W x 8" H. You can add another one on top if you wanted it to be deeper. It says it can hold 10 cu. ft. of soil, but I found that 9 cu. ft. was enough. We used an all organic soil for this box as well. Hopefully by the end of July we will have lots of healthy and all ORGANIC peppers to harvest! Updates to follow.
