The use of a soap and water mixture sprayed on plants will keep insects away. The use of talcum powder is another good source. Just sprinkle on leaves and bugs will not touch the plant, and these are safe around pets and children.

Regular distilled white household vinegar makes a good weed killer. It's about $1.50 a quart compared to roundup. And you don't have to worry about the kids playing around it.

There are several types of organic herbicides to choose from. "Nature's Avenger" and Garden Safe" are a few by name. Vinegar can also be used. These types of products have a tendency to not work quite as well on tough weeds.
