Help In the Garden

Posted under Safety Tips by Shue

How I wish I could get some helping hand while gardening! As I was thinking about this, I caught hold of the following information.

There are lots of beneficial predators in our backyard such as ladybugs, spiders and frogs and we must make the most of them by letting them stay. Then there are companion plants like African and French marigolds, thyme and garlic that we can plant in our backyard. These insects and plants control the growth of harmful pests naturally.

Other biological pesticides such ad Bacillus popilliae and hand picking or pulling help to reduce pests and weeds.
