Natural Does Not Mean Safe

Posted May 24th, 2010 by Mike Cherim

This is one of those editorial entries that could be considered a public service announcement. In that it counters some pesticide makers’ marketing efforts, perhaps we’re not supposed to speak of such things, but this topic is important. People need to know. Something being natural does not make it safe or organic. That said, let me start with a short story about our initial encounter:

The Perils of “Shipping Included” Pricing

Posted April 26th, 2010 by Mike Cherim

Whether you order online and enjoy flat-rate shipping or order by phone and pay exact shipping, adding the cost of freight to your order instead of building it into the price is sound if you really think about it — and in your best interest.
