We dug a ditch between each row of plants and dump a week's worth of compost and re-bury it. The squash seemed to love it.

Great! I usually add the shells to plants that I want my cats to leave alone....they don't like to step on them, because they crumble and it's weird.

I'm going to try this tomorrow!

I saw them doing it and they just sprayed gently the leaves, maybe twice (using the hand-spray bottle), as if you would spray a perfume on yourself

i just passed this on to ramdom neighbor lady i was walking past...she was planting her tomatoes

One of the other recipe's was one part milk to two parts water, combine in spray bottle and spray on plants that are prone to black spots (one a week). May smell after awhile but it's better than a chemical.

I just seen the egg thing in a magazine too. But, they put in a whole egg as they were planting herbs in a pot. Never thought of the whole egg.

Your tomato's will love you.

I heard Martha Stewart the other day talking about feeding your plants and this lady asked her if she had to feed her indoor plants. Martha's response was "do you eat,....yes of course we do.....then why wouldn't you feed your plants ?" Makes sense to me. I'm in a feeding frenzy to all my plants tonight.
