Question: Environmentally appropriate weed and chinch bug killer?

In Ontario, Canada, a law went into effect this week forbidding the sale of Killex, Semin and Malathion and all other pesticides. Can you suggest another method. I've tried soap and lemon juice but I had trouble getting the solution up the narrow plastic hose to mix with water.

Answer: You can put paper, cloth, cardboard or plastic down around your plants to kill the weeds. If you want to use soap that is in powder form mix it in hot water on the stove first. You will have to let it sit. Home remedies are usually invented by patient people. If you are a quick-fix kinda person this might disappoint you today but in three days you will be happy that you too the time to do something healthy for your plants.

Mix in the lemon juice just before spraying.

You could always look up a distributor for Diatomacious Earth or Food Grade DE, it is powder fine calcium type deposits that insects hate, it kills them by drying them out, but is healthy for plants because of the calcium nutrients.
