Description
For organic gardeners, there are very limited options when it comes to pest control. We can't just go out and buy some pesticide to spray on our plants. So what exactly are the options when it comes to getting rid of those pests that destroy our gardens? Perhaps one of the least recognized and most beneficial methods of pest control is using predatory bugs to keep in check the harmful ones.
In this course, we will look at 22 of the most beneficial garden predators. Do you have trouble with aphids, caterpillars, bean beetles, or the plethora of other pests around? Then this course is for you. We will not only examine which bugs are beneficial and how to identify them, but will also look at the plants and herbs that will attract them to your garden. Go no further for organic pest control, we have you covered right here!
Who this course is for:
- This course is for any gardener - beginner or experienced - who is interested in organic, natural garden pest control. For anyone who doesn't want to use strong chemicals as a method of pest control, this course will offer alternative options using natural means.
