Really the only time you should be using an organic garden spray in your garden is to rid a temporary pest. Occasionally odd weather patterns can increase the population of a particular pest and throw your garden off balance. If the pest is a reoccurring problem an all-natural pest killer isn't going to do the trick long term.
I have found these two pages really helpful in determining when I should use organic garden sprays and when I should think about rearranging my plants to achieve balance.

Where to Find Orgainc Bedding For Your Pets
I stumbled across this cute article about 3 Tips on Buying All-natural Pet Bedding
It has some really great information that makes you think about the products we buy for our pets. I guess I always assumed that most pet bedding was all-natural or organic pet bedding because it is mostly all constructed from natural fibers.
Pet bedding can be treated with harmful chemicals and we should consider buying organic pet products over their counter parts not only because it helps the environment but because it is safer in the long run for our furry loved ones.

The Best Option for Organic Pest Control and Stink Bugs
This summer we have had a serious infestation of stink bugs. I have searched far and wide for a good organic pest control option. The problem is all the options smell awful, don't work or only work temporarily.
I recently came across a really neat page which explains: Organic Pest Control for Stink Bugs
This site gives in great detail how you can compete long term with stink bugs organically. If you have an extremely bad infestation like mine please read on.
There is a great new book out on the market that helps people who have those really bad cases of stink bugs. You know the ones I'm talking about? Where you can no longer see your windows and doors because they are covered in stink bugs. When your problem gets this bad it might be time to invest in a Stink Bug Domination Book.

Organic Pet Bedding
After searching and searching for organic pet bedding for my dog Scooby, I found this great source of information on hubpages Organic Pet Bedding
This great page gave me all sorts of information on different options for organic pet bedding. No matter what type of pet you have there seems to be several options would could help keep our pets and planet safe.
I was surprised to find out that nearly all dog beds on the market contain some cotton. The cotton industry is responsible for about 50% of the pesticide use in the US. This means that those cute queen Victorian replica day beds for dogs are poisoning our planet as well as our pets.

Recipe for Organic Garden Bug Killer
The other day I was just thinking about how neat it is to be able to use items from your own garden to help control the pests. While I do think that most ideal organic garden has no pests at all because it is a balanced eco system but I truly believe in old fashioned Organic Garden Bug Killer. If you are looking for a neat quick and easy recipe for pest control check out the above page.
If you aren't sure you actually have pests in your garden but you have noticed suspicious activity, you may want to think about observing your plants for awhile. You should be checking the fruit/flower of the plant for damage. Some bugs appear damaging but actually are helpful. If you are not seeing a reduction in growth you should consider yourself lucky and move on!
