It can really be frustrating when one grows a beautiful garden of flowers or even great foods in their garden only for crops to be infested by pests. While there are chemicals that are manufactured to control pest infestation, there are other simple and organic methods that one can use to control this menace and keep their vegetables or foods growing healthy. The first one is using compost manure which has special nutrients that the plants require to fight the diseases and pests. The compost acts by improving the plant’s immune system in a way that the plants are able to fight the pests and diseases easily. This compost can be found locally from many shops that sell gardening tools and related equipment’s. One can personally pour the compost in their gardens or they can also look for a company that offers garden maintenance services to do the job for them. However, it is important to look for the best compost that does not contain harmful chemicals to the soil, the plants or even oneself when the plants are consumed. The compost should be organic so that it naturally blends well with the garden soil without altering any qualities other than making improvements in nutrients.
The choice of compost used should be based on the kind of insects that are eating up ones plants. The companies that offer garden maintenance services have lists of insects that attack plants in gardens and using such a list one can know which insects are responsible for the crop damage. The second step is to look for a plant that attracts these insects more and plant it. This method is called companionship and it is aimed at avoiding killing all other insects in the garden. This is because many plant insects have been discovered to be actually good for the soil in the garden. This is better than using pesticides which might kill the bad pests but along with the good pests as well.
If one prefers to get rid of the bad insects, they can instead of buying the chemically harmful pesticides form the agricultural shops, they can make their own home=made organic solution to even if not kill the pests but repel them away. This is a method that has been used by many people before and worked. The solution to use to make the organic spray can be found with the help of a professional from the agricultural shop. Lastly one can put up a fence around the garden to avoid pets and other rodents that sometimes carry these pests get into the garden and transmit the pests there.
