Sustainable plant care

I'm sure this has probably been posted before - if so, we shoulda sticky-ed it, this being a gardening forum and all....

What [more] natural products do you use in your gardening practices? Although I am of the mindset that some 'natural' products can be just as harmful when used incorrectly as any 'chemical', I would still prefer to use stuff with a known toxicity. For example, vinegar will kill weeds very dead, but it will also upset the balance to the point that nothing else will grow in that soil, either. But, I digress

I just mentioned on the Propagation forum that a friend had told me about spraying Chamomile tea on seedlings to prevent damping-off (which I believe is a fungus?).

What other tricks do ya'll know? Anyone hear of boiling plants?
