Getting Rid of Garden Pests

Last Modified February 10, 2017 By Staff Writer

Gardeners know all too well the trouble and destruction many insects can do to their gardens. Learn how to use non-toxic methods to reduce having problems with these tiny pests and how to distinguish which pest is causing your damage. Also, take a look at what bugs are actually helpful to your garden and ways to attract them so your garden can grow beautifully.

Key Takeaways:

  • It probably won’t surprise most vegetable gardeners that insects outnumber humans many millions of times over.
  • Start a compost bin, and add one to two inches of well-decomposed compost to the garden each spring to supplement nutrition in the soil and encourage a desirable soil structure.
  • Remember, not all bugs are bad. Many actually help plants grow by pollinating, decomposing waste, and gobbling up pests.

“Keeping disturbance to a minimum preserves the living systems in soil. Instead, layer amendments on top, and let the earthworms aerate the soil.”
