Organic Pest Control

This is a huge part of organic gardening. You either control the pest from your flowers or plants naturally, chemically, or let them die. The first thought when seeing insects eating your plants might be to take the so called quick fix with chemical alternatives. If you are patient you may find the insects aren�t doing the damage you feared. They may in fact only be nibbling at the edges of the leaves and causing no real damage.

Solution -1:

Be patient and see what the insects are really doing.

Solution-2:

Plant a diverse mix of flowers ad plants that encourage natural predators to hunt in your garden. Examples include frogs, lizards, and birds.

Solution-3:

Barriers such as row covers and netting can protect plants but it defeats the purpose if you are growing flowers.

Solution-4:

If pest invasion is acute, there are several natural products that are available in the market. These products:

Extra Pest Control Tip:

Put out pest traps / sticky bars to see what pest are visiting your plants.
