Grow organic garden-pests

Grow an organic garden is difficult, especially when pest destroy your harvest. Spraying pesticides to get rid of pests may be satisfying in the moment, but the long-term effects can include poisoning soil and water. Creating an unhealthy environment for yourself, your family, and your pets. You eliminate beneficial organisms and waste money on unnecessary products. 

Organic gardeners take a different approach. Organic gardeners strive to maintain a healthy balance of organisms and they treat problems only when treatment is clearly warranted. The goal is to manage pests, not annihilate them. When it comes to pest management, organic gardeners heed two basic tenets:

Pesticides aren’t always the answer. Organic gardeners consider whether it’s really necessary to control the pests they find. A few aphidson your hibiscus aren’t likely to cause any major damage if your garden is a haven for beneficial insects that dine on aphids. As a matter of fact, organic gardeners try not to eliminate all insect pests, because if all the pests disappear, so will the insects, birds and spiders that feed on them. By tolerating a small number of pests, you can keep their predatorsaround in case your garden has a sudden pest-population explosion.

Not all problems are pest problems. Avoid the temptation to assume that all problems are caused by pests. Other factors may be at fault. For example excessive heat, not enough or too much sun, lack of or too much moisture, herbicidedrift, freezing temperatures, hail, wind, air and water pollution and mowerand string-trimmer injury etc. These problems are especially like lyin  plants growing in unfavorable environments, shade-loving plants in full sun, for example. 

Plants stressed by these factors are also more vulnerable to insect and disease attack. Eliminating the environmental stress solvesthe underlying problem, which in turn may make pesticides unnecessary.
