Many homemakers and gardeners take the easy way out when it comes to
exiling odors and banishing bugs--they use toxic chemicals that may be
harmful to their families and the earth. Ellen Sandbeck has discovered
that the all-natural alternatives are just as easy and effective to use,
and that they are wickedly fun. Sandbeck's way of banishing thistles from
her backyard kingdom is a case in point: she chops off their heads and
lets them bleed to death. Slug Bread & Beheaded Thistles reveals all
of her best tricks. From bedroom to bathroom, garden to lawn, your home
will be clean and green and pest-free.
