I use Diatomaceous Earth to help control squash bugs. It is also good at minimizing other hard shell insects (fleas, ticks, ants, roaches, beetles, bed bugs, etc); It will not harm earthworms. You can also use it on an open pit compost pile to reduce flies since it  prevents fly larvae from developing in manure. Safe for Human or Animal Consumption

The handles now provide better grip to make turning even easier. The 12-inch twist off lid keeps your compost safely closed off but is easy to remove and even doubles as an extra turning point.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
