South Coast Sisters were taught how to start a garden of growing vegetables by Sarah. She explained the advantages of having a pesticide free garden and a simple solution to keeping the insects away by using a peppermint soap (Dr. Bronner's) diluted with water. Just spray it on the plants and the insects won't eat them. She also said to plant marigold flowers with your plants as another deterrant to those pests. Sarah likes using non genetically modified plants (GMO's), to get the healthiest produce possible. She also uses a natural and organic fertilizer for (not Miracle Grow) her vegetables. She feels it's healthiest and safe for her family.
