Frequently asked gardening related questions
Biological pest controls in organic gardening involve using living organisms to manage pests. This can mean encouraging natural predators already in your garden (e.g., ladybirds for aphids), or introducing specific beneficial insects (e.g., predatory mites for spider mites, parasitic nematodes for slugs or vine weevils). The aim is to create a natural balance where pest populations are kept in check by their enemies, reducing reliance on direct intervention.
