New organic fertilizers: no excuse not to go organic your garden

Naysayers always have plenty of excuses for not going green in the garden. "I don't have the time!" or "Organic fertilizers don't perform!" or better yet, "Finding stores that stock organics is impossible." Now, thanks to one of my favorite organic gardening companies, TerraCycle, there are no excuses for grabbing that bottle of chemical-laden Miracle-Gro.

I was thrilled to discover TerraCycle's garden fertilizer that features a hose attachment. Now, instead of crawling around on my hands and knees to sprinkle organic fertilizer around the base of each plant, I can simply spray down the garden until the soil is damp and well-saturated. 

These days, with my precious time taken up by unpacking at my new digs, the ability to quickly feed our vegetable patch with a sweep of the hose made me a very happy camper.  And stay tuned, because photos of the new gardens in Port Aransas will be coming shortly!
