Lay a Trap for Pests

Posted under Safety Tips by Shue

You can use a shallow beer container to get hold of slugs. Tie sticky bands around tree trunks to prevent gypsy moth caterpillars and flypaper from damaging the plants. Then you can employ wood ash or diatomaceous earth across the base of the plant as a barrier.

Some other natural barriers are making a floating row over vegetables and mesh netting over fruit plants to avoid some kind of pests. You can search for herbicidal and insecticidal soap sprays and horticultural oils as a safe pest control method.

As far as possible, try and use nature-friendly pesticides in your garden.
