Every garden contains bugs that can damage your crops as well as many beneficial bugs that feed on the garden pests. Our Garden Insects Guide — available for just 99 cents in the MOTHER EARTH NEWS library app — will help you tell the bad bugs from the good bugs, and provide advice on how you can prevent damage from the pest insects and attract the beneficial ones.
In this resource, MOTHER EARTH NEWS gardening expert Barbara Pleasant profiles 15 of the most common garden pests, each accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Keith Ward. You can take your smartphone or tablet right into your garden and use the illustrations to figure out who’s who. Then, if you confirm that a pest insect is causing damage, this tool will tell you which of eight remedies you can use to protect your crop.
Plus, 14 beneficial insects are also illustrated and profiled, along with tips on ways to bring in each of these garden helpers. We give tips on how to maintain a healthy bad bug-good bug balance, a major goal of organic gardening. You won't need any toxic pesticides if you follow this approach!
