There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Organic Garden Pest Control Empty Re: Organic Garden Pest Control

Post  Unmutual 5/19/2012, 10:55 pm

I prefer to give beneficial insects a habitat instead of spraying anything(organic or not, a biocide is a biocide after all). Here's a couple of websites about it:

http://www.finegardening.com/how-to/articles/attracting-beneficial-insects.aspx

http://www.motherearthnews.com/plants-to-attract-beneficial-insects.aspx

Unfortunately, you're not going to get the entire picture of their habitat from any one article, and books could probably be written on the subject. Most of the information deals with attracting insects, not keeping them during their entire life-cycle. Which reminds me..I really need to get around to writing an article about that...

One thing should be noted about buying beneficial insects: if the insect the predator eats is not in your garden, they won't stick around(aphids for ladybugs for example). I see very few lady bugs, because I have very few aphids, not that I'm complaining.
