Posted on December 2, 2011 by HealthyCook| 1 Comment

Question by chloef: What is the best vegan or non- animal tested shampoo and conditioner?
I have used Treseme and they don’t test on animals but they use some animal derived ingredients. I want to know what the best vegan and /or not animal tested shampoo. Oh and I know Suave is vegan except the fact that it’s been tested on animals.

Answer by jane
there is a company called lush and they make a lot of vegan cosmetics including shampoo ( i posted the link below) you can check to see if they have a store near you or you can order of line (which sounds like a pain in the ass), but i really like there products because most of them are vegan and smell great

Q&A: Which organic product is best for spraying fruit trees?

Posted on November 29, 2011 by HealthyCook| Leave a comment

Question by Mary-Frances B: Which organic product is best for spraying fruit trees?
We have 14 fruit trees and this year we have sprayed with organic spray. One pear tree (maybe 8 years old) has black leaves and we seem unable to stop the spread. Do we need to go to stronger?

Best answer:

Answer by ohiorganic
we generally use dormant oil early in the spring than lime sulpher for fungal attacks. Sounds like you might have fire blight which is incurable. take a sample of the disease to your county extension agent to get it ID’ed properly and ask them what they would suggest (they will in all likelihood suggest non organic ways of dealing with the problem)

the book Rodale’s Garden Problem Solver has a pretty good section on spraying fruit trees organically

Q&A: Best fertilizer organic for house plants?

Posted on November 27, 2011 by HealthyCook| 3 Comments

Question by MICHAEL R: Best fertilizer organic for house plants?
I have been using organic fertilizer for months now and nothing seems to be greening up my leaves. I have gardenias, citrus trees and jasmine and the flowers are ubundant though. I have been all kinds of fish fertilizers and especially Neptunes Harvest and yet leaves are still light green to yellow. I have been told Organic is too low in nutrient for plants needs..What is the strongest Organic that fills all the house plants requirements for deep green leaves and flowers? I am tired of supplementing stuff like Epsom salt and others to hopefully think That it will help the organic not working for me.

Best answer:

Answer by reynwater
Yellow leaves, poke rusty nails in the dirt around the plants. I would have suggested Coperas and MiracleGro, but you’re doing the organic thing. Fish emulsion and Epsom salts are the best I know if you are set on using organic.

What is the best organic and healthy lotion to use on your face without chemicals?

Posted on November 23, 2011 by HealthyCook| 1 Comment

Question by SB: What is the best organic and healthy lotion to use on your face without chemicals?
I would prefer something I can use daily that has no chemicals or harmful products. I would like something affordable that works, and eventually improves the skin on my face without growing dependent on the lotion, like with other creams. Thats why I heard organic creams are the best for this. Can anyone recommend a high potency organic face cream?

Best answer:

Answer by amybff2
The website is pretty self-explanatory.
The Body Shop is ORGANIC.
I use their products all the time. Depends on what type of skin you have too… If their are any questions, feel free to e-mail me.
(FYI Your skin won’t depend on this!)

You can’t make bread without wheat or glutton.
It would be called something else and I would hate to have to be the one that is forced to eat it!
It is kinda like calling “Soy Juice” “Soy Milk” there is no tit on a soy plant!
