We'll try to help you identify some pests here, give some tips on preventing them and or keeping numbers down to a liveable level. Part of natural/oragnic gardening is striking a balance and have your plants fend for themselves and/or have beneficial insects keep them in check.

Note: Again please excuse our Cyber Dust here as we till the ground throughout this site. We've planted the "Virtual Seed" now watch it grow!!! We are working as quickly as possible to get all the information presented. If you see an area you could use NOW please don't hesitate to drop us a line & ask. We might already have it 'ready' & just not linked up. Or, we can possibly change some priorities to get some info up to help you out. That's what we're here for, to try to help YOU with your gardening needs.
