From away to garden.com and Robinhood Radio.com, this is Away to Garden with Margaret

Roach.

You're a weekly invitation to dig in and grow.

I suspect every gardener has for years now over and again heard the warnings about the

most widely used pesticides in the U.Sicotenoids, or neonics, for

short. In 2013, the American Bird Conservancy issued a report warning of their impact on

terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and especially the ripple effect their use was having on birds.

The Conservancy has just issued an updated report with a telling headline, neo-Nicotinoid insecticides failing to come to grips with a predictable environmental disaster.

So where are we now with limiting the use of these pesticides

and what can we as citizens and gardeners do to help in the effort?

More in a moment but first these messages.
