The best way to control pests in the garden is by planting a wide variety of flowering plants to attract beneficial insects and by keeping the garden as healthy as possible. Weeding, pruning, fertilizing when needed and avoiding the use of chemicals helps to create balance in the garden. There are always a few bad bugs needed so the good bugs can survive. Bad bugs usually arrive early and get established which attracts the beneficial bugs. If insects are not damaging your plants, it may be better to wait and let nature take its course. Remember, when you spray bad bugs (even with natural products), it kills the beneficial bug also. The advantage to using a natural insecticide is that it breaks down easily. If it becomes necessary to spray, first identify the pest. Not all sprays are right for all bugs. And, be sure to follow the directions. More is not better. The OMRI (Organic Material Review Insitute) symbol next to a product means that those products have been submitted to an independent lab for organic review and they have been approved for organic production. Some products are NOP (National Organic Program) listed which are also safe to use in your organic garden. |
