Pacifism in Pest Control
(Page 7 of 7)
And remember: when you grow healthy plants on fertile soil
your pest problems will be minimal right from the start.
Your objective (and every gardener's) should be to build
the most fertile soil possible in which to raise our
vegetables. Again, that can largely be done only by natural
means and not by quick, "one shot" chemical miracles.
There's no short cut to natural good health.

own experiments, but from books, pamphlets and lectures,
such as:

founder of the organic gardening movement.
Companion Plants and Herbs, Richard Gregg;

(Friends of Nature).

Farber).
