A DIY project, gardening AND helping out family!
I never used any pesticides on my garden save a little red wine vinegar on some leaves and never thought much of it. In addition to preparing soil to be rich with compost and augmenting with a little manure, I find watering with rain water (for the edible stuff) makes for a fresh and superior taste.
Especially with the tomatoes and cucumbers. can't compare the taste to store bought anymore!
Nice work my friend.
