Comfortis

Comfortis is a chewable, beef-flavored tablet you give to your dog to kill fleas and prevent flea infestations for one month.

Comfortis chewable tablets are recommended for monthly use in dogs and puppies 14 weeks of age or older.


Spinosad is the active ingredient in Comfortis. It belongs to a new novel class of antiparasitics known as spinosyns, which are derived from a naturally-occurring soil microbe.

 It works by attacking the nervous system of insects, causing rapid death of adult fleas.

 

No Dig Gardens

 


 

Lots of people come to our shop to buy the ingredients for a no dig garden. This really is an easy way to start growing your own vegetables or flowers.

No dig gardens are a way to improve the soil you already have by adding organic matter and nutrients, and letting nature do the cultivation for you.

These are the basic steps for making a no dig garden. It's all about layers. Water well after each layer.

The first step is to add a thick layer of newspaper or cardboard to the area you've picked for your new garden. This is to prevent weeds/grass from growing through.

Then add a layer of Lucerne mulch hay.

Next add a layer of manure, then a layer of straw followed by another layer of organic material such as compost or manure.

You can make as many layers as you want alternating manure/compost (nitrogen) with straw or hay (carbon).

When you are ready to plant seeds or seedlings, using a few handfuls of Potting Mix/Garden Soil around where you're planting helps give them a good start.

Once you have finished planting add another layer of mulch - Sugar Cane Mulch is easiest to spread in between your new plants.
