Raising Chickens…Backyard Fun

Chickens, that’s right, chickens are becoming America’s newest pet. People all over are raising chickens of all sizes and varieties right in their backyards. As the Green movement surges forward, consumers have been looking for ways to increase their sustainability level in their daily lives. Chickens are great for a number of reasons.
Chickens eat bugs! Lots and lots of bugs! Never again worry about fleas, ticks or mosquitoes! Chickens are also great for eggs, organic of course. They are inexpensive to purchase, baby chicks average $3.00 -5.00 a piece. And the chicken poo! What a great fertilizer for the lawn and gardens! Chicken manure is some of the best fertilizer, organic gardeners love it.
There are literally hundreds of varieties of chickens you can purchase. The Bantams are a smaller version of their original counterpart. Great if you have a smaller yard. To keep them from flying (yes chickens fly) just clip the end feathers of their wings, they won’t be able to take off. Chickens do need a Coop, and nesting boxes for laying eggs. You can buy chicken coops inexpensively or make a homemade one. They need shelter from the elements and a soft place to lay their eggs. Otherwise you will find them all over the yard, hidden under bushes, etc.
We let our chickens have the run of the yard. Free Range they call them. Chickens are much happier when they can run. And no bugs! We decided to get some chicks after several visits to my brother’s house. He lives on the water of a creek. His house has fabulous views, but at first it also had tons and tons of mosquitoes. His neighbor got 4 chickens and a pair of ducks. Since then, he has not had to spray chemicals to get rid of the bugs, put flea and tick chemicals on his 175 lb. Mastiff or spray himself. The chickens and the dog even coexist peacefully! The chickens have free run of the 2 neighboring properties, as they have no fences.
So now we have our own feathered friends. We have 5 kids, a dog and we live in the North East, so we chose a variety of Bantam that is friendly and can withstand the cold. Chickens are fun to have, the eggs are great and the benefit of all natural bug control is the best! Our neighbors don’t mind at all, because we have no Rooster. The chickens are generally quiet, unless they are alarmed by something. Much quieter in fact than my German Sheppard.
Keeping chickens is a great way to live Green and reduce our carbon footprint. Try it!

Save Water and Grow Healthy Plants

Plant Nanny products were developed to make plants healthier; most plants thrive when their roots are consistently moist. Watering globes support hardier root growth by slowly releasing water through a special Ceramic stake as the soil begins to dry. They are revolutionary due to the fact that the Ceramic stake stays in the soil. No clogging! And it releases water throughout the entire stake, not just one tiny area.

Plant Nanny Stakes come in several varieties, to match anyone’s taste.

Hand-blown glass watering globes are a simple solution to keeping your plants healthy. Most plants thrive with consistent watering. Since the stake remains in the soil the plant roots will actually grow around the stake and use water more efficiently. The water level is visible through the globe even at a distance, so you'll know exactly when to add water. There are the Clear Glass Globe, The Swirl (in 3 decorative colors) and the Globe with Finial (a gorgeous addition to any planter, in 2 colors). Just remove the Globe, leaving the stake in the soil, and refill with water, you can even add fertilizer if you choose! They are so easy to use!

For the wine lover and anyone who likes to be GREEN, recycled wine bottles & Wine Bottle Plant Nanny Stakes work together to water your plants. Made from a specially-engineered ceramic, our 7.5 inch Plant Nanny® Stakes are designed so that a wine bottle rests securely inside, providing a ready supply of water. Designed to water a larger container plant, these can be used indoors or on a deck or porch. Any long neck glass bottle will work, so you don't have to love wine to love this product. They work well outside, to keep your summer planters from drying out. And the size of the wine bottle means you wont have to refill everyday and the water won’t reach boiling temperatures in the sun.

The Add-a-bottle Nanny and the Vacation Nanny are great for any planter as well. They have the same great stake, only you use your recycled water or soda bottles instead. They are a great way to make use of water bottles and easily care for your plants. Decorate your bottles for a one of a kind look.

The Plant Nanny’s are also great in the ground! Use them to water newly transplanted shrubs or perennials! This will help to reduce transplant shock.

All in all the Plant Nanny has revolutionized the Watering Globe. By utilizing a stake that stays in the soil, they eliminate clogging of the globe and disruption of the plants roots. Your plants will grow healthier for it!

Odor Free Kitchen Caddy - Made from 100% recycled plastic. Collecting kitchen scraps is a must for organic gardening.

All Natural Coco Fiber - Coir Fiber made from coconut husk has numerous uses including potting medium.

My Two Favorite Fertilizers

Two of my favorite organic (that's all I use) fertilizers are TerraCycle All Purpose with Worm Poop and Merrill's Compost Tea.

I love them because they are 100% Natural Organic Products. These companies each make a product that is organic and beneficial from waste.

Milorganite has been around for over 80 years and is a by-product of Milwaukee's water treatment system. It is safe to use in any climate at any time of the growing season...even drought.

Milorganite contains no salts (that can burn turf) so it doesn't even need to be watered in to work. It relies on natural microbes in the soil to break down the nutrients.

Milorganite not only contains Nitrogen and Phosphorous, it also contains calcium, which is essential for nutrient uptake and Iron that makes everything a nice dark green. I use Milorganite on my lawn, trees, shrubs and perennials.

Merrill's Compost Tea is one of the most fantastic products I've ever used. They look like tea bags (don't drink them by mistake!). Keep an old gallon jug handy. Fill it up with tepid water and drop in one tea bag. Let it steep for an hour or so and then water your plants. I like to let my "tea" steep overnight. This is the best fertilizer for houseplants, annuals, roses and perennials. You can water as you normally would or foliar feed with a spray bottle. The first time I used this was in the middle of winter on my houseplants. The results were amazing! If they could have my plants would have jumped up and done a jig!

Both companies are committed to using natural resources and sustainable agriculture. These are truly earth friendly products. They are easy to use and inexpensive. The results will astound you!

Coconut Fiber...its sustainable and beneficial!

Coconut Fiber or Coir has many uses. It is totally sustainable and biodegradable. Coconut fiber can be used as a soil additive, in composters and worm farms.

Soil Additive - As a soil additive, Coir is generally used as a substitute for peat moss. It has better water absorption and has naturally occuring Trichoderma, a beneficial fungus that works simbiotically with plant roots to protect them from damaging pathogenic fungi. Coconut fiber also holds approximately 1000 times more air than soil.

Composters - Used as an additive in Composters it replaces other types of brown matter such as leaves, sawdust and wood pellets. It is sustainable, affordable and readily available. Coconut Fiber is also great to use in Compost Pails in the kitchen. It absorbs excess fluid, controls odor and slows down decompostition of food scraps before they go into the compost.

Worm Farms - In worm farms it is essential to have non-toxic, fluffy bedding that holds moisture well and allows air to circulate.

Coco Fiber is available in pucks or bricks. Put the puck or brick in a bucket, add water and voila! In about 30 minutes you have a light, fluffy beneficial additive with a number of uses.
