Re: birdbath

Kitty - take a handful of greensand or lava sand or volcanite and put it
in the birdbath w/ a little water. Take an old pot scrubbie (those green
things) that you won't use in the kitchen anymore or a good wire or
scrub brush and scrub it out w/ that. Rinse it all over your plants and
don't worry - all three of those things are organic and good for your
soil and your plants. That's what I use. Just my two cents ma'am!!


:-D
