Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

If you are organically gardening you will not want to 
use the DEET products to repel bugs.

I'm going out on a limb here but I'm a nurse and
I feel a real obligation to inform people who
care about their health.

Using Deet on your skin goes directly into your
blood system.  The skin is our biggest organ.
Spray your clothing before you put it on but
PLEASE not your skin.

Citronella, lemongrass, geranium essential oils work...
to name a few. Don't go to the health food store and buy 
the oils, they are perfumes, usually.  

If you don't want to use essential oils, drink 
apple cider vinegar mixed with a clove of garlic.

2 TBSP vinegar
1 clove garlic crushed
4 oz water

No bug will want you! I have done this first hand
at a bug infested lake!

with the 747's , well almost ;-)
