Steve McShane here, McShanesNursery.com, thanks for tuning in. Going to talk a little bit about insecticides. How can we environmentally take care of the bugs that we don’t want in our garden. Two kinds of bugs out there – chewing bugs and sucking bugs, Different types of defenses when it comes to the gardener. Probably the best advise I give people is when you think about insects: you need to think about it in the same way you think about a cop, right? There’s an escalation in the use of force. Before the officer is going to shoot the [perpetrator] with a gun, they may present their baton or maybe go about it with a taser, well same goes with your garden. Our best defense against bugs is an oil. In most cases if an oil gets a chewing or sucking insect, they will die. If not right away, pretty quickly. Sometimes, if it is not just the oil, the oil will have something in it, like say a neem. A neem is a natural defense that when applied, in the case of this concentrate, as directed, will go a step further to really zap those bugs. Now, for the chewing bugs, a product that I’m really excited about is this Captain Jack’s Dead Bug Brew. Real life story about a guy that was in the Caribbean and came across a rum distillery where there were no bugs living at all and he was so curious. Lo and behold, months later he comes to find that he discovered a new type of natural insecticide called spinosad. For a chewing insect, when they ingest this, they die. So oils, oils with Neem <b>…</b>

Green Alkaline ‘Electric’ Native Organic ‘Foods & Herbs’ for thy Healing from the Natural Cosmic Code of Geographic Arrangement of Structure of Life. "Anyone who has ever heard of Dr. Sebi is interested in having a list of "Electric" foods to guide the balance in their lives. Such a list has rarely been found, until now! The following information is an explanation of "Electric" foods and how you can incorporate them into your daily life. Dr. Sebi studied nature, life and positive changes to make for healthier lifestyle changes. One thing he discovered amidst his studies was that foods traditionally served in homes were tainted and changed, most times on the cellular level, in order to mass produce the food. Chickens, cows, pigs and all other living animals raised for food were fed vitamin supplements and genetically engineered feed to ensure the largest possible animal; therefore ensuring the most money made from the animal. The same would go for produce as well. Many farmers use insecticides and commercial fertilizers in order to supplement their crops size and yield. All of these actions change a food from being "Electrically" balanced with our bodies to being off-balance. In order to change your eating practices from traditional to "Electric" all you have to do is get back to nature. Organic foods are one choice available in supermarkets today.
