Summer is almost upon us and that means we are all getting our yards ready for entertaining! When it comes to your yard, don’t you want what is best for it? I know I do!

That is why I look for ways I can be eco-friendly while still giving my yard the TLC it really needs. I first discovered Ecoscraps at the Get Messy Get Clean Festival at Thanksgiving Point last year. Their play tables made from recycled materials were a huge hit with my kids. We had a lot of fun and learned more about how we can be more sustainable. Read more about it here. 

Because of this fun experience with Ecoscraps, I am excited to be joining with my blogger friends to let you know a little more about Ecoscraps compost.

Ecoscraps compost is a mixture of decomposed organic materials like food waste, branches, leaves and grass clippings. It is used in garden soil to promote healthy, sustained plant growth. What makes Ecoscraps Organic Compost so awesome is the added benefit of food waste.

Each bag of Ecoscraps Compost contains up to 50 lbs. of recycled food waste. Food waste that would normally be sent to landfills but instead is reused to fortify your soil! Ecoscraps Compost is an all-natural organic soil amendment that contains no poop or synthetic chemicals.

Benefits of Using Ecoscraps in Your Garden Include:

• Increases organic material
• Improves soil structure
• Moisture retaining

In addition to using it in your garden, you can use Ecoscraps in planters too! Brittanie from Simplistically Living recently made these Color Block Wooden Planters and used Ecoscraps in them. Aren’t they so cool?

You can head to Walmart to find Ecoscraps and get your garden looking and feeling great.

A few months back I participated in a Woolzies Giveaway. My blogger friends raved about their Woolzies and I couldn’t wait to try them on my own. My oldest child has eczema so I am always on the lookout for more natural products that won’t irritate her skin. The less chemicals the better!

Now what are Woolzies, you ask? Woolzies are 100% pure New Zealand wool dryer balls that do everything that conventional fabric softeners do plus they reduce drying time by 25 percent. I do several loads a day so a shorter dryer time makes my life a lot easier. They are also money back guaranteed to last for at least 1,000 loads! That means more money to set aside for our Disney trip!   Woolzies have no chemicals at all and are also hypoallergenic. This is very important to me when it comes to my daughter’s eczema.

I tossed my Woolzies in several loads today and the first thing I noticed was how quiet they are. I can’t even hear them in there. I’ve tried other kinds of dryer balls in the past and there is typically added noise, so I am quite pleased there is no noise with the Woolzies! The load definitely dried quickly and came out soft and static-free.

You can purchase your own Woolzies at their web-site as well as Amazon.com. Be sure to follow along with them on Facebook and Twitter, too!
