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.
