Frequently asked gardening related questions
Organic pest control focuses on prevention and ecological balance. Encourage natural predators (ladybirds, hoverflies, birds) by providing diverse habitats and avoiding broad-spectrum pesticides. Use physical barriers (netting, cloches). Practice companion planting. For direct action, hand-pick pests, blast them off with water, or use organic sprays like insecticidal soap or neem oil as a last resort. Healthy, vigorous plants are more resilient to pest attacks.
