For the past few summers, I’ve planted my tomatoes and peppers upside down and hung them from the deckposts.  I’m going to do it again this summer.

However, this summer, I’m not going to plant the tomatoes in those big bulky buckets.  Nor am I going to shell out the big bucks for one of those upside-down tomato kits.  I looked at one of those carefully in the store just today, and you know what it is?  It’s a big heavy plastic bag.

Well, I have a box of big heavy plastic bags, and mine are not only big and heavy; they’re 100% insect and animal-proof, completely biodegradable, and made of 100% natural ingredients as well!

I’m going to fill an Ecosmartplastics Repellem bag about half-full of potting soil in a month or so, and I’m going to tie it in a big knot.  I’m going to hang the dirt-filled bag over the plant hangar on the deckpost.  I’m going to make a little hole in the bottom of the bag and I’m going to plant a cherry tomato plant in the bag.  It will hang upside down on the deck, just outside the kitchen doors.  All summer long, whenever I need tomatoes for salad or just to snack on, all I have to do is open the kitchen door, take about three steps, and reach out my hand.  Not walk across the yard and bend down,  no no, just walk out the door a few steps and reach OUT.

I can eat my tomatoes right off the vine, without washing them, if I want to, and it will be safe because EcosmarPlastics and Repellem bags will keep the usual garden bugs, worms, and hungry animals away.  There will be no pesticides or poisons on my tomatoes.  Each little tomato will be perfect, because it will be untouched by insect or animal.  No turtles will take a bite.  No possums.  No raccoons.  No deer.

I can’t wait until it’s time!  I’m going to do this with all kinds of tomatoes and peppers, just like last summer, only I’m going to put ALL the plants in lovely red Ecosmartplastics Repellem bags.  My deck will look like Christmas and be like a fresh veggie buffet.

Think how nice this would be for people with small children!  Instead of snacking on candy or other sweets, or salty foods, just send the children out on the deck to help themselves to fresh, wholesome, nutritious vegetables.  Picking these themselves will become a family tradition!

EcoSmartPlastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products are among the most versatile products I’ve ever used!  Not only do these products do everything they’re supposed to do; they do much more!  It seems as if every week I discover more things these products can do, and do WELL!

How many trash bags have you ever bought that will not only be receptables for your garbage and trash but will also keep insects and animals away from your garbage and trash?  Or be made of 100% recyclable, biodegradable, natural ingredients?  Or keep your winter woolens safe from moths?  Or keep the deer and bugs away from your garden?

How many outdoor tablecloths have you ever bought that will also keep the mosquitoes and gnats away from your picnic?

How many such products have you used in the past that caused you to worry and hesitate to use in or near a child or a child’s room for fear of poison, since small children chew on pretty much everything?  With Ecosmartplastics Repellem products, you won’t have these worries.  100% natural, harmless ingredients.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem products don’t even harm the insects and animals it repels; they just, well, REPEL them.

Even the thickest, finest, and most expensive trash bags can not be set outside the night BEFORE the trash truck comes; dogs can smell that feast from miles around.  However, with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products, you CAN set your trash outside on the curb the night before because animals simply can not detect the presence of even the stinkiest garbage if it’s inside a sealed Repellem bag.  How nice not to have to rise at dawn to run after the garbage truck with your bags of trash!!

There are more uses than these for Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products; check this blog each month for updates!  In the meantime, check our archives for all kinds of ways these products can be used.

This is the first day of the New Year, which means many of us had or went to a party tonight.  It also means many of us are taking down a Christmas tree today.

After the parties:  Dump all the garbage and trash in a big Repellem trash bag and toss it outside until later.  You don’t have to worry about animals getting into it and scattering it; Ecosmartplastics Repellem products live up to their name: they really do REPEL animals and insects.For the Christmas tree:  If you did like many people and used an extra-large Repellem bag under your tree skirt, disposing of your tree will be a cinch!  Just take off all the ornaments and trim, pull off the skirt, and draw the Repellem bag up around the tree, keeping the needles INSIDE the bag.  No mess, no fuss, and the Repellem bag is strong enough to deal with a tree inside it!  Pick up your tree, arms around the Repellem bag, and toss it outside.  Messy job, finished in minutes with NO mess!

Sleep in this morning, and don’t worry about your garbage bags sitting outside: if you used Ecosmartplastics Repellem bags, nothing will touch them.  And aren’t you glad it was so easy to get your tree out of the living room, with no mess?

EcoSmart’s Repellem products have so many uses; it boggles the mind!

Why not make using only eco-friendly, 100% biodegradable, 100% natural Ecosmartplastics Repellem & Eco-smartbag products one of your resolutions for 2010!

In my “neck of the woods,” there has been no trash pickup at all these past few days.  That means, ALL of the trash and garbage of Christmas has been sitting in bags, waiting.

People who use regular trash bags don’t DARE put the trash outside until the very last minute before pickup because of the dogs, raccoons, possums, and other animals who seem to lie in wait for such opportunities to scatter and feast.

People who use Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags can set the trash outside any time they need to, because the 100% natural ingredients in all Repellem products do exactly what the name says:  they REPEL.  Nothing will bother your Ecosmartplastics Repellem bags except a really high wind!

My family’s trash of the past three days is sitting outside on the deck as I type.  It will be removed tomorrow afternoon, but I don’t have to worry about it being torn and scattered at ALL, because I use Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags.

I gave my mother some Repellem bags, too, so she is now the only person  on her block who doesn’t have to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow, to beat the city garbage truck!  She can set her trash out tonight, and she doesn’t have to worry about the neighborhood dogs savaging it.  The dogs can’t even see or smell anything inside a Repellem bag!

These two Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags are full of turkey carcasses. Both bags have back on my deck since Thursday night.

It is now Sunday, late afternoon, and as you can see, neither bag has been so much as touched by the millions of raccoons and possums and neighbor dogs that frequent my deck. In the past, we couldn’t set a bag of garbage out there for five minutes before its contents were scattered across the yard by wild animals dumpster-diving for the good, smelly stuff that was in there.

Here in southern Indiana, the weather has been in the fifties and sixties these past few days, and I’m pretty sure that the remainders of those two big turkeys didn’t smell all that good to humans after a few hours out there. However, animal and insect “noses” are different, and the usual onslaught of animal and insect hordes just did not appear.

That black cat? She’s been featured on this blog before, totally ignoring the contents of Ecosmartplastics Repellem garbage bags, and even napping on top of them without giving them so much as a swat.

Two trash bags full of Thanksgiving garbage, including the remains of two 19-pound turkeys. No animal even seemed to realize such a treat was sitting out there in full reach. Animals did not see the bags - the unique red color saw to that. Animals did not smell the bags - the unique 100% natural ingredients that make up the bags saw to that. No animals even seem to realize the bags were there, well within plain sight and easy dragging.

That’s because Ecosmart Repellem trash bags can not be seen or smelled by animals; therefore, animals leave them alone. Ecosmartplastics Repellem products are good for anything indoors or out - you’ll have no problems with insects or animals, including mice, moths, ants, spiders (I know spiders aren’t insects, but they react to Repellem like insects!) roaches, gnats, or pretty much anything that would hang, uninvited, in or out of your home.

Just look at those two red Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags. Since Thursday night, they’ve been sitting there. NOTHING has bothered them in the least. Nothing has even tried.  Millie, the black cat, isn’t even interested.

Proof positive! Ecosmartplastics Repellem products rock!

Holiday time is fast approaching, and it’s time to start making lists and checking them twice.  Santa Claus isn’t the only one who gives gifts, you know.

This year, why not give your friends and family an EcosmartPlastics Repellem product?  It’s not really an odd gift, you know.  It’s something they’ll use, and fall in love with, and wonder how they ever got along with out them!

Besides, they’re red, like Christmas.

Personally, I would love it if someone gave me the gift of EcosmartPlastics Repellem; I use the trash bags regularly, and I use the tablecloths in the warm weather when we eat outdoors.  I also use EcosmartPlastics Repellem products in my garden, which is, believe it or not, still going strong.  In Indiana, we’re having another summer in November; it’s been in the seventies!  Without EcosmartPlastics Repellem in my garden, the bugs and little wild animals would have been feasting in there; WITH Repellem wrapped around all the tomato cages, I’ve had no problem whatsoever with bugs or animals all summer long, and summer HAS been long here this year!

You can find EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Ecosmart Bags many places now; the products are really becoming popular now that more people know what they can do!  Order some for yourself, and while you’re doing that, order some to give for holiday gifts this year!

The weather is still good enough on Columbus Day, in many areas, for a picnic, and when there is a picnic, there is a great need for some way to keep the insects at bay!  The best, easiest, greenest, and safest way to do this is to simply have a few EcoSmart Repellem products here and there.

With an EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth on the picnic table, there will be no flies, gnats, or mosquitoes.  Put an EcoSmart Repellem trash bag in the garbage can, and you won’t have to worry about the garbage in there attracting wasps, bees, hornets, or flies, either.  It’s awesome; you don’t have to use dangerous and smelly sprays, rub chemicals on skin, or wear a clunky bracelet around.  Just throw a tablecloth on the table, a trash bag in the trash can, and everybody is free to relax and enjoy each other’s company, and the food.

In peace.  Without having to slap at or wave away bugs.

With a few EcoSmart Repellem products around your picnic site, you won’t have to worry about animals approaching where your small children are playing, either.

Plus, EcoSmart Repellem products are absolutely safe around kids and food; there are NO harmful ingredients in Repellem - they’re made of 100% natural, completely recyclable ingredients.  Your food can touch a Repellem product and still be safe to eat.  Go ahead and lean on the tablecloth; Repellem won’t harm skin, either.

Labor Day is Picnic Day for many people, and if the weather is good, just about the only thing that can ruin a picnic are the insects!  Flies, mosquitoes, gnats. . . these pesky pests can pretty much destroy any kind of outdoor activity, particularly if they smell FOOD.

Fortunately, it’s easy to thwart insects and have a wonderful, bug-free outdoor party.  Just don’t forget the EcoSmart Repellem!

Line the trash receptacles with Repellem trash bags.  There will be no insects near your garbage.

Cover your picnic tables with EcoSmart Repellem tableclothes.  There will be no bugs on or near your table, which means your food is safe, too!

Cut a Repellem trash bag into strips, and tie one around one leg of each lawn chair.  Anyone sitting in that chair will not be bothered by insects.

Tie a strip of Repellem around everybody’s ankle.  No matter where they might wander, they will not be annoyed by chiggers, mosquitoes, or any kind of insect.  Item:  honeybees don’t seem to be affected, which is actually a good thing.  Just try not to step on them!

EcoSmart Repellem products will turn any outdoor experience into an enjoyable, insect-free experience.

And just think how much safer your children will be, without the worry and danger of insect stings and bites! Harmless Repellem products are 100% recyclable and made of 100% natural ingredients.  They will not harm food, or any living thing; they just REPEL insects and animals.

Summer vacation is winding to a close; school starts in just a week in some areas!  Families are trying to spend as much “together time” as possible, and this means, for many people, CAMPING!

Of course, trying to sleep or even just relax inside a tent on a hot, humid, summer night doesn’t always work out, either. When the night is hot and humid, the insects come out with a vengeance and a passion for human blood that has to be experienced to be believed. No amount of bug spray can keep them away.

In fact, there’s only one thing that effectively keeps the mosquitoes, flies, chiggers, gnats, and other insects out of your tent, and that one thing is EcoSmart Repellem.

We make all kinds of camping products: tent mats, tent covers, tablecloths, trash bags. . . and our products are not only superior in every way, they also keep away the bugs!

If you take EcoSmart Repellem with you on our camping trip, you will be able to sleep peacefully, for there will be no whines, buzzes, wings, stings, or bites. Not a single one. Your nights will be spent in blissful dreamland, with not a bug anywhere near.  Think how much safer your children will be!

EcoSmart Repellem products will also keep the possums, raccoons, skunks, and other animals away from your campsite.

Before you even begin to load the car for your camping trip, be sure you’ve got EcoSmart Repellem. Without it, you’ll be stung and itchy; with it, you’ll have a blast!

Buy EcoSmart Repellem right here!

Our products are made of 100% natural ingredients and are 100% biodegradable!
